mickyh Posted August 2 Author Report Share Posted August 2 OK I'm back! Yes I've been out all night. The gun belongs to my best friend, who is not a member on here. I've sent him your messages and now waiting for him to get back to me. I'll be at his house when the gun is sold. Hopefully he can get a photo of the bore,we had the gun apart on Wednesday but I don't remember looking. It was his dads gun, who was head keeper on one of Yorkshires biggest estates, he's been struggling getting rid of a mountain of stuff! i will get back to uou but it may be tonight as he still works! Mick Amazingly I'm in Stirling this weekend visiting my mum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeonbasher oz Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Lovely gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyh Posted August 2 Author Report Share Posted August 2 (edited) The barrel has a few very light marks. This is normal for a 70 year old shotgun. I've posted photos but it's very difficult to see anything. If I were contemplating buying this gun, it wouldn't put me off, not when it's less than £300. My friend is very picky and says its actually fine. Hope this helps. Edited August 3 by mickyh Add information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Hi if it has pitting it would be better to take it to a gunsmith and have him check the barrel out to see if its still safe to shoot as the barrel may be unsafe depending on where the pitting is and how much metal is left its better to be safe than sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickyh Posted August 3 Author Report Share Posted August 3 Sold pending all the usual stuff. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
situndertree Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 It is indeed sold. I used it today on clays fresh from picking it up. I cant complain, hitting the first 6 clays and then just missing one out of the next 6. (It went downhill from there as it normally does for me but the gun didnt miss a beat) It got some interest from some fellow shooters with good success for them also with the few shots they fired. Cheers mickyh for advertising this and thanks for your quick responses to my PM's. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
