ESCORT MAGNUM

[Jim Sarakun]

I CRACKED THE STOCK ON MY TRUSTY BAIKAL, (HEAVY ABUSE) HAVE GLUED IT TWICE WITH PROPER WATER PROOF WOOD GLUE, AND IT HAS COME APART AGAIN. CAN ANY ONE RECOMMEND A GLUE THAT WILL STAY STUCK? NOT WANTING IT TO SPLIT IN TWO, BEFORE I HAVE DONE A PROPER REPAIR, I WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW MAGNUM ESCORT ON MY CREDIT CARD, UNTIL THE BAIKAL IS FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL.

 

IT WAS GOOD VALUE, AND I HAVE NEVER OWNED A SEMI, THOUGH HAVE USED AN EXPENSIVE BARRETTA THAT BELONGS TO A FRIEND, SO WENT FOR IT SOLELY FOR ITS NO NONSENSE APPEARANCE AND PRICE. WELL I SPOSE THE EXTRAS AND ONE MORE UP THE SPOUT, ALONG WITH THE PLASTIC FURNITURE HAD A LOT TO DO WITH IT, AS I DO ABUSE RIFLES, JUST ANOTHER TOOL YOU UNDERSTAND.

 

WELL I HAVE USED IT, AND LOVE IT, THOUGH NOW HAVE TO WEAR GOGGLES TO STOP THE CRAPP THAT SEEMS TO COME OUT OF IT FROM IRRITATING MY EYES, WHICH FEEL REAL GRITTY AFTER A DAY OUT.

 

I WAS REALLY TAKEN IN BY THE SALESMAN, BUT AM WONDERING IF I HAVE BOUGHT A PIECE OF RUBBISH, OR CAN EXPECT THE YEARS OF NO NONSENSE SERVICE I HAVE HAD FROM MY BAIKAL. ANY ONE HAD ONE FOR YEARS, PUT THOUSANDS OF SHELLS THROUGH IT TOO, AND CAN REASSURE ME THAT IT HAS YEARS OF RELIABLE SERVICE AHEAD OF IT?

I have just order mine. From what I have read they are very reliable

Araldite, will stick anything!! Did you get the 3'' or 3 1/2'' chamber escort?

[mossy835]

i have a escort and they are a very good gun, mine puts out 28 gram shells very well.no jamming at all.

[stalker1]

had mine now for a cupl of years and have put thousands of rounds though it with out any probs,

 

not even had the prob your having with getting **** in your eyes, are you shooting left handed if not change the make off carts that you are useing

[mossy835]

i shoot left handed and dont get **** in my eyes,why do you

[chrispti]

WHY NOT JUST BUY A LEFT HANDED GUN

[maxwell]

I have put 500 cartridges through mine, finished my second slab of 30g no6 gamebore clearpigeon yesterday and apart from replacing an O ring when i stripped and cleaned it the gun hasn't missed a beat. For rough and pigeon shooting it's spot on. I would love a Benelli M2 but cant afford it at the moment so with the 3 year warranty my Escort Magnum will do me

[Jim Sarakun]

THANKS ALL FOR YOUR POSTS. I WILL DO THE ARALDITE BIT, AND KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED. OUT ON THE BEET IN THE MORNING, AS THE PIGEONS SEEM TO BE ENGROSSED IN THAT, WHY I DON'T KNOW, I HAVE HAD A LOOK, AND SEE NOTHING I WOULD LIKE TO EAT.

 

I AM A RIGHT HANDED SHOT, AND THINK I WILL HAVE TO SIT SO THE WIND WILL BLOW AWAY THE EXHAUST, SO IT DOESN'T GET INTO MY EYES. OR STICK WITH THE GOGGLES, AS I DO LOOK COOL, AND IF I DON'T, NO ONE I KNOW IS GOING TO SEE ME ANYWAY....

 

THANKS AGAIN, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO YEARS OF RELIABILITY FROM MY ESCORT.............

I brought an Escort from Goldfish on here last year and I'm now on my third slab of cartridges. Only had one morning of annoying jamms and failed ejects but thats down to me being a lazy sod and not cleaning it often enough!! Other than that it's great.
