No, it’s the one from Gilsan guns I did wonder, I saw a 20 Zoli listed today, they have put a hefty tag on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it’s probably what the gun should be worth! it’s also not much more than I got for it so it seems fair to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 I have 3 B525s and a 1963 B25 A1. The B25 is a refined beastie - better handling, lighter and easy to throw around on a rough shoot. For driven and wildfowling, I prefer my B525 game gun - more load versatility and better for a steady swing. Horses for courses. But the B25 has the edge in handling, but a big negative is the inability to handle HP steel. It is also prone to rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me not to put nothing heavier than 70mm no.4s through it. I also use 3" HP steel for wildfowling - and the B25 is 2.75" chambers.

sishyplops Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 It’s not the barrels on the early Japanese guns you need to worry about it’s the chambers , they pit if not looked after , I’d just pick a 525 now tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
