Not at all, recently picked this up with some other from a friend that has not shot for 25 years and has finally given up shooting, this will make a good sit around, walk around the pens gun when baby sitting pheasant poults with a number 4 in the breech ready for when fox show up as they often do.

Plan to do this at the weekend if I can pick some decent size card up meanwhile took a shot with it last weekend after cleaning and servicing it just to put a cartridge through it to try it out for aim and kick with it being a light gun and realised straight away why they fitted a very thick rubber butt pad, 32gm No5 kicked more than anything else I've shot, felt like a magnum load. shot a pop can at 30yd and quite impressed with number of shot on target which was around 20 pellets, will be able to assess better on card next time out all part of the fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchman Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 single barrell shotguns are not known for their unfailing ejection abilities...something to do with the size of the 1/4 moon ejection rib....my cosmos was awful at ejecting...good spring tension....just wouldnt grab enough of the rim of the cartridge to throw it out everytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 It beats me why manufacturers ever bothered to fit ejectors on knockabout single barrels. Never seen anyone using one in a situation that called for ejectors. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen one in use at all for about fifty years.
