Lloyd90 Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Looking for something like a single barrel 20 bore. Ideally close to Bristol but beggars can't be choosers as they say. MAY end up cutting down the stock / barrel if needed, this is as a first shotgun to teach my nephew to shoot, so nothing special or heavy it goes without saying. If anyone has a cheap double barrel 20 that is light enough may consider it. many thanks Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steve, I had a look they're about £450 second hand I think (at least the ones on guntrader are). For a gun he will likely outgrow in a year or two I think a little single barrel would be a better start. As you know with kids, he may not even be interested once he tries it!

enfieldspares Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) I have a AYA Cosmos 20 Bore that I'd take £45 for cash on collection. I am up near Leicester at J21 of the M1 where it connects with the M69. I also have one, or two other maker's (Cooey) .410 and ditto a Harrington and Richardson single barrel 16 bore. All are £45 each. I am happy to sell to the OP or if others are interested if the OP doesn't want any or gets sorted elsewhere to others.

Aye, reason I picked 20 bore is you can get subsonic carts and then move up to 21’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gustav Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Good evening Lloyd, I have a nice tidy little Sabel side by side with 26 inch barrels, weighs just under 6lb. £100 to you and, as you know, you would only have to drive to Weston.

Ultrastu Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 I had a kofs 20b with junior stock .it kicked like a angry donky even with 24 grm loads .totally unsuitable for a youth and I hated it so sold it on and I'm a 14 stone builder .I swapped it for a 20b semi auto and the difference is night and day .soo much nicer to shoot . I got the armsan a620 junior that comes with a short and long stock and a barrel extension too .highly recommended . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you used subsonics in a 20 and did they make much difference? I picked up a lovely light 20g SxS and as otheres have said it kicks even with light cartridges. I'd have thought a .410 of even a light 12 bore if you're going to trim it would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
