holloway Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Sadly not but if you are looking for one Mickley hall corporation has one advertised on Guntrader for £850 ,looks immaculate,it’s not advertised as a Waterfowl.I had one years ago but found the 30 inch more handleable.

Smokersmith Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Fair enough … I’ve been resisting that one for nearly a year now!! I’ve also a 30” that gets used on occasional sim and higher bird days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s been listed for ages little expensive maybe?, as I have two of these I thought I would see if I could replace one with a nice 20 ga preferably an older Winchester just because I’ve never used a 20.

No not really, mainly pigeon grades, field grades and every now and then a grand european or diamond grade pop up, lovely gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How have you got that gun so long, and not fired a shot out of it, when I buy a gun, I have to shoot something ASAP with it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
