Minky Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 (edited) What Are the barrels like.? clean or are there any pits. Is there any play in the barrels jointing.? Edit. It's difficult to see from the pictures but what's the blacking like on the barrels, they look grey. The ejectors on mine are violently powerful. The cases are thrown about 20 feet. I'm kind of interested. Second edit. I've got a LOT of guns, in fact I've been told that I've got too many AND that I don't need any more. Still, I take no notice. Third edit. What model is it.? I can't see from the pictures but is it a #4..... does it have ejectors.? Or a #3 with extractors.? Edited October 5 by Minky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konor Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 Screw layout and light border engraving on the action indicates that the gun is a number 4 and at £100 is probably a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A No.4 or a yeoman ejector, and the overall condition. I've got ( as part of the collection), an old late 60s No.4. that has got good wood but badly pitted barrels and is basically a bit of a dog. it's certainly got patina. 😁 I shoot very well with it and use it as a wet day gun. What I would like to do (ideally) is to find a No.4 with good action and barrels but either a beaten up or broken stock to graft my wood onto to make a bitser. If I were a bit closer ( about two hours on the motorway each way I would have gone round there and sorted it out but I'm hesitant, Seeing that I have an extensive stock levels of guns which both the feo & the Mrs both say is too many. I take no notice of what the feo says but the mrs holds more sway. I could basically strip one or the other down and make a good one out of the bits and strip all the non pressure parts off and then hand the rubbish in and have the weapon deleted off of my ticket. because of the current gun market and also people on here saying things like... I can't shoot a gun with two triggers,, or Side by sides kick like mules and it has fixed choke ..AND you can't shoot anything with a side by side , no one wants guns like this or in actual fact almost all guns. Years ago a gun was a working tool but now a lot of guns are almost a display item. carried a lot but shot very little... lack of support by basic and action regarding tickets has broken shooting down nearly to the ground. the majority of gunshops in the south east have gone. in fact I can't think of one that isn't a glorified clothes shop within 40 miles now.
