mgsontour Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Had a real step back to my boyhood days today, my pal has just bought a Rizzini BR110 410 and it is the first time I've fired a 410 for over 40 years but wow it is some bit of kit lads; very impressive and he bought one with 32 inch barrels, I only fired a few shots through it and now want one!

enfieldspares Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) LOL! When I sold my Boss in December 2021 I asked for £5000 and the AYA .410 No 4 Ejector on the dealer's website. Ended up £500 down on the deal so got £4500 plus the AYA but not at all unhappy with it. Now you've the fun of trying various loads. My tip? Eley .410 Trap work very well!

London Best Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Proper .410’s. And, yes, Eley .410 Trap work very well indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellside Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 Another vote for Eley Trap here. The 410 is much more capable than when I was a boy - cartridges have advanced so much since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my A&NCS Ltd .410 in 1981 and managed to buy 100 Winchester ‘35 power’ 1/2 ounce load cartridges. They were old cartridges when I bought them, but I cannot guess at their year of manufacture. I was astounded at their performance compared to the Eley Fourlong 7/16 ounce cartridges I used 20 years previously. Or maybe I had actually learned to shoot in the meantime?

When I was a boy I mainly shot at pigeons on branches with the 410. Even then they often just flapped and flew away. Mind you, it was an old service rifle bored out - so no choke and 2 inch cart’s. Now I sometimes shoot with my young son’s Yildiz 410 O/U and with the 14 gram Eley Trap, shooting pigeons (flying ones….!) is an absolute joy.

I think I learnt to shoot in the meantime too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
