bunny_blaster Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Many moons ago I used to borrow the farmers side by side to go flighting ducks on his ponds. The gun was a BSA, pistol grip, single trigger, ejector and I’m sure it had 30” barrels but I could be wrong. I’d like to add the same or similar gun to my cabinet. I’m struggling to find the same BSA so would anyone recommend a gun that would fit the bill? I’m not looking to spend big money as it will hardly get used but it’s an itch that’s needs scratching Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holloway Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 The single trigger BSA that you used was probably an Skb made for BSA check out Skb and Ithaca all late 70s mid 80s single trigger shotguns of good quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side by sides are all I have ever used and at the moment I have got five , one of them is a B S A ejector , this is 2 3/4 with a pistol grip and double triggers , ( not single ) I bought it from a sporting auction and at the time it was like new , I used it solid for over ten years at both wildfowl and pigeons and it never let me down , I now use a T Wild of Birmingham and this one would easily see me out so the B S A is now in retirement , if you were ever down this way then you are welcome to it ( f o c ) it might want tidying up but that would be up to you , failing that , if you went to your local auction you will pick a decent s x s up for less money than the fuel it would cost to come down to Norfolk , but like I say , if you were down my way then you can have it .
