Shotkam Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 I have a Webley and Scott 20b OU. 30" barrels, single selective trigger, really nice walnut stock, multichoke, youth stock £ 600 + RFD cost. I would recommend getting a gunsmith to check it over service wise as it had been in the gun cabinet for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 I had a Yildiz 28 bore with an adult stock , which I had shortened. I kept the piece that came off and simply screwed that back on if I wanted to use the gun. You have to remove the heel plate to change the stock, remove whatever heel plate you have for the youngster and add your own, easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 KOFS do one - replacement Walnut stocks are under £70 - think Yildiz are around the same? I have a KOFS Sceptre and would recommend it to anyone - unbeatable for the price - look for a used one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingman Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 The Webley 920K is great my sons had one for the last three years. Junior stocked and he's put hundreds through it and it's never missed a beat, thoroughly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummy_bear Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 I was looking for a similar gun for a while. There were few browning medalists with shortened stocks. For me the potential "problem" is the gun balance. I think that a 28 or a 30" adult gun with the stock shortened could be barrel heavy. I ended up getting an O/U 26" with 13.5 stock on guntrader. It should be here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmo Posted August 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 We it’s more obvious when it’s broken and simpler for a youngster to use . Safety is paramount and easier learned with an O/U than an auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safety is paramount and easier learned with an O/U than an auto I'd argue that the additional focus on safety with an SA makes for a safer shooter and avoids some of those "Oh Sugar" moments we've all seen on clay grounds. There's also less felt recoil in an SA, may be better for a youth? It's your choice though mate, hope the lad/lass gets something nice and enjoys the sport.

Salmo Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 I’m using very light loads but I like the confidence of seeing it broken / open . He’s getting a SA next year but he will be in a hide with me at geese / pigeons . I will be in complete control then . I hoping to give him a go at driven this year thus the 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
