samboy Posted June 23, 2024 Report Share Posted June 23, 2024 Hi gang.       My pal bought a Perazzi skeet gun in 1981 and has put thousands and thousands of cartridges through it.       He has also shot Olympic skeet for England on several occasions.        Well today a firing pin snapped. I told him it was shoddy workmanship and he should take it back and complain 😂.        What do you chaps think ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimo22 Posted June 26, 2024 Report Share Posted June 26, 2024 (edited) I have a Beretta 686s sporter that was one of the first in Uk 1984 and I had problem for the first time last year. Pin went so had an overhaul and tighten and is as good as new. Had thousands of shot through it over the year so did not claim under warranty Edited June 26, 2024 by Stimo22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retromlc Posted June 30, 2024 Report Share Posted June 30, 2024 Perazzi obviously don't make them like they used to, my 1997 broke it's first leaf spring in 2022. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN749 Posted June 30, 2024 Report Share Posted June 30, 2024 Â 1981 was about the time I first saw Perazzi guns. I believe they were possibly the first to manufacture multi choke shotguns! Over 40 years of trouble free use is something rare,my Beretta 687mc is 35 now with no faults yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have thought about that when the top lever spring on my 1880s Purdey bar in wood hammer gun broke! Might have got a new gun 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine bought a Barbour Solway at a Game Fair one July, used it hard coastal ‘fowling for the season and in March sent it to Barbour for reproofing. They declined the job as they considered the coat to be too bad for economical repair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
