I have owned a pair since of repros since they first came onto the UK market , they do require a lot of customizing to get them to work regular when a lot of shots are required in a session , compared to the original they are poor but with a little bit of work they can be improved .
Nice birds! I envy you!
It comes up nice and it follows through quite well.
Don't envy me, I don't get to do what my American cousins can thanks to stuffy experts and committee types making the laws!
Oh, be still my heart! What a gorgeous piece!
Interesting! I will be certain to check for that! My first one was acquired in a little gun shop outside of Phoenix, AZ (on the way to the airport to fly home). It was N.I.B. but I had to discard the box to "compact" it and its accoutrements to get it on the flight. The shop owner was vexed that no one had any interest in it and sold it to me for $175.00! The second one is also N.I.B. and still covered in cosmoline, but was a little more pricey! I feel very lucky, indeed!
Such a fine case too! Did you have it made or is it something one might find available?
Just a standard case I made to house this pair of guns and component's that came with it after customising . Lets not stray from the original thread it may not go well with some .
You stole that first one!
That sir is sad , If it was not for the large sporting estates here in the Uk and the conservation of game due to rearing and keeping would soon end up the same This has already happened in some placers where sporting estates have folded game have been shot or dogged till there is nothing left after a few years .
It's a rich man's sport here.
It is not all foreign shooters visiting big shoots.
Talking of London bankers I remember once helping out when a group of them took the day it was not a shooting day but a business day . On one stand the person on the peg did not lift his gun and the birds were streaming over him the reason been he was on his mobile the full length of that giving drive .This attitude does not do justice to the estate staff who do a full days work to put on good driven days for the likes of them
Indeed I did! But I hadn't a clue until much later. Ya shoulda seen the antics I had to go through to even get that onto the flight back!
I live in Ohio. We used to have a lot of game birds until the blizzard of 1977-78 nearly wiped them out. The state does periodically release game birds (pheasant) during season. Most of them are quickly killed by hunters and predators. If you want to hunt game birds in Ohio it is best to go to a farm that raises them for pay to hunt.
