Velocette Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Just looking through a box of bits and found this. Any idea's on who fitted such a device and to what gun ? Its marked as MOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 That looks like it might belong to an old Breda semi auto’ shotgun. I owned one many years ago and liked the system. Just screw on rather than in the choke of your choice, remove it and you had cylinder. I can’t understand why the system isn’t still used today, makes perfect sense to me.

Yes, mine was a 1966 Venom Clubman with the semi-close ratio gearbox and the correct reversed gearlever. I rode it all over the place,,raced it at Cadwell and Scarborough for several seasons, ran at Esholt and Elvington sprints. Where are you now LWX 13D ?

BlaserF3 Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Mine was a 1959 Venom, I bought it off a mate in 1968 for £30, GEC 227, nice bike to ride but the chain case was a pain to keep oil in. https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/?_ga=2.129041102.396586021.1591646070-1835468876.1591646070 This is your Clubman but it's not showing as being insured.
