Yes, as with the Browning these guns are Spring Recoil Operation as opposed to more modern gas piston. As such, certainly ‘clunky’ when used in comparison. That, in turn, makes them something akin to Marmite. People either hate them or LOVE them. I tend to find people used to modern day gas operation guns shy away. However, those who get past the difference or simply start out with a ‘proper semi’ tend to stick.
I sold this over a decade ago and that customer stuck with it for the entire time. Commenting on his satisfaction and enjoyment with it the entire time until deciding to give up shooting. Hence now back available and looking for yet another new home.
24 ½” (620mm) Multi Choke Barrel. The chokes screwing on externally and ranging in length. Cylinder being circa 1 ¼” (30mm) long, THIS showing / fitted is ¾ restriction and circa 2 ½” (65mm). I will have others to swap out IF required. I CAN also organize brand new options for any choke required, through to a complete set.
Pull measures 14 1/8” (360mm) to a Strong Straight Grained \Walnut Stock. No splits or cracks to any of the woodwork too. Yes, a few minor blemishes but nothing much considering the age. Overall length, as pictured, (3/4 Choke tube fitted) measures to 47” (1193mm) and tips scales at 7 lb 5 oz (3.319 Kg).
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. IF its 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 cartridges made in this material? 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!
Sadly Steve has now given up on the UK Gun Trade and left for the US. HOPEFULLY a major producer will adopt and cartridges will eventually travel back this way.
RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
