Box Lock, None-Ejector, Single Trigger, .410 Gauge Over and Under Shotgun from Revo Arms. 28” (710mm) Fixed Choke Barrels with 3” (75mm) Magnum Chambers. Trigger pull is now circa 13” (330mm) after being reduced for a lady or younger shot. The poor quality, disintegrating black recoil pad is now replaced (but not showing). Current pad is a Pre-used Dark Red / Brown and HAS tidied the gun up Very Well. Overall length is 34 ½” (1110mm) with scales registering 5 Lb 11 oz (2.571 Kg).
(The original reduced portion is also still available with the gun). As such it is not a huge job to re-fit. If, as and when anyone would want or need something longer.
These guns are what they are. Relatively inexpensive, basic but functional and made in Turkey. NOTHING wrong with that. Probably over 50% of modern guns in the UK will be these days. Especially if air rifles are counted. They are excellent value for money considering. Equally they are not made to last through several generations if doing any more than absolute minimum.
Original ABS Hard Case is also still with the gun. Even so there are a couple of blemishes to detail. Nothing drastic, rather the original dark stain finish flaking slightly. Other than that, the gun is in more than good condition mechanically. Use so far appears to be minimal. For anyone wanting a GREAT Budget Starter Gun for a youngster or someone petite with minimal recoil this fits perfectly.
Quite WHY anyone thinks they NEED an ejector has always puzzled me. Possibly OK if you are shooting on high volume estates and moors. With the funds to pay for serious numbers of birds where people follow on to tidy and pick up after you. However, the bulk of normal mortals never get to those heights.
Clay shooting: Get set, call ‘PULL’, bang, … bang. Then break the gun and put your hand over the action / chambers to STOP the sodding ejectors.
Walked up, maybe with a dog or two working cover? You get chance of a shot, possibly both barrels. Do you REALLY just open the gun and let the empties ‘fly’. I certainly don’t. To save scrabbling about in mud and undergrowth I too stop the cases, pick them out and into a pocket. ESPECIALLY when I SHOULD be concentrating on downed birds and my dog/s.
Even sat in a hide. That is usually with a nice Hawthorne or Holly bush at your back. Have a good day on pigeons and when finished spend two hours and more trying to pick out the empties. Go home looking like you spent the same two hours fighting a pair of cats in a sack. Two or four legged!
THEN THERE ARE more and more None Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern day shooting. Given its supposedly so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters. How is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?
Anyway, take a look for yourself:

NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING these cartridges? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.
YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!
On that note I AM looking into the possibility of stocking some direct from Steve at Hortons. RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
