Easy Bully Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi, can anyone let us know where I can go and have a look at an M2, have tried all my local RFD's with no joy and was thinking that there must be a localish shop out there where I can go and get my hands on one. I'm after a left hander so if anyone has seen one in their travels please let me know. Many thanks EB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I drove over to Jon Forsey in Dartford. No-one local had one in stock GMK were out of stock of the 26" Comfortech, so they not even get one in for me. A phone call in advance to Forsey had them put one aside for me to see the same day.

Easy Bully Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks for the replies guys. Watkins I will bear in mind your offer, if I don't get a chance to look at one this week I will be in touch, I really just want to see what the fit is like before I go driving a 100 miles with the intention of buying one. Thanks again. EB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy Bully Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) I shoot a left hand one. Im either at Gatwick or Horne most weekends gimme a shout if you want to have a butchers. Thanks for the offer I will bear it in mind, I am interested in seeing what the fit is like as I have heard people say that you have to be a midget to fit one and being 6ft i though it may be an issue. Anyone got any comments on the fit of an M2? Thanks EB Edited March 24, 2009 by Easy Bully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breastman Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I'm 5'10", medium build and mine fits me just fine Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Anyone got any comments on the fit of an M2? Thanks EB I sold my L/H M2 several months ago, purely because of gun-fit issues. I needed more than the 14.5" LOP on offer, and I did not want to go down the route of modifying the stock. It was a pity, as the gun was superb in every other respect.

John_R Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Well I took my first 50-odd shots with mine on Saturday. Two rounds of skeet with 28g Rio carts, and then later I got a few shots in the field with Gamebore 30g Super Game Extreme. I have to say I thought at the time it kicked more than I expected it too, but felt OK. However I was sore the next day. I am pretty sure I was messing up the mount/stance. I had not shot for two months and being pretty new to shotguns I really didn't want to leave it that long, but work got in the way. So, I have booked a gun-fitting and coaching session on March 31st. If I get out to shoot in between now and then I will take a bit more time to really think about what I am doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breastman Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Either you bruise like a peach or like you say you weren't mounting it properly. I've put over 500 rounds through mine in one weekend and never felt a thing, but if i did the same with my O/U i'm be selling my shoulder as mince meat!

John_R Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Well, I am 9 stone, skinny as a rake and never been any different. No bruising at all, but the shoulder was sore to touch. This has happened before with O/U 12 gauge shooting 28g clay loads, but when I shot a 20 gauge O/U on beater's day using 24g loads I could have gone on for hours. I liked it so much I bought the gun. So, I do think I can deal with this with better technique, but need to be mindful of it as I am clearly somewhat recoil sensitive. As for the M2, I have read in more than one forum people found that once they got the correct shims fitted they thought the recoil was much better.
