HATSAN ESCORT 20G SEMI-AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN

Description

FOR SALE, HATSAN ESCORT 20G SEMI-AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN.

Still Boxed 26” (660mm) Multi-Choke 20g Hatsan Escort Semi-Automatic Shotgun. ¼” (6mm) Ventilated Sight Rib with a Single Front Bead. This is REMARKABLY Clean condition and still Very Close to Brand New. As said, it also comes with its original box with accessory box plus additional stock spacers etc. One is already fitted for the 14 ¼” (362mm) current Stock / Trigger pull. There are ZERO marks of any use to the Action slide. Absolutely minimal signs of even being loaded showing to the Loading Gate / Floor plate or Cartridge Lifter.

Overall length as pictured measures 46 3/8” (1177mm) and tips scales at only 6 Lb 4 ½ oz (2.851 Kg).

I doubt this has even seen much daylight to date. Pretty obvious it spent the bulk of its time to date inside a cabinet. Given the serial number staring with a 1 this is also from the first series introduced to the UK. The version many consider always were and remain the best. Sadly, as so many examples from the vast majority of manufacturers / suppliers. Advertised as upgraded and improvements when, in reality, it’s generally a cheaper way of construction! Call me a pessimist if you like but MANY totally agree.

The action is also Factory Dovetailed, ready to accept a Red Dot sight or similar scope. This IS also Steel Shot Proof.

£229.99

As for the Lead Sh-t ‘FIASCO’? READ ON:

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.
