HATSAN ESCORT 6 SHOT 12G SEMI-AUTO SHOTGUN

Description

HATSAN ESCORT 6 SHOT 12G SEMI-AUTO SHOTGUN.

12G, SECTION ONE, Semi-Automatic 6 shot Hatsan Escort Shotgun with Mossy Oak Camo Wrap finish. From the serial No. one of the originals, some say best. Yes, a few Very Light, Small areas where the camo wrap is wearing. But still in generally EXCELLENT condition considering its age.

I still have plenty of the specially shaped Butt Pad Extension pieces. Also, the various spacer shims to adjust drop and cast etc. Plus, additional chokes IF required. Current example fitted is detailed as Skeet. Most NEVER bother to change anyway so….

28” (710mm) M/C Barrel and current stock pull measures 14 ½” (368mm). Overall length is 48 ½” (1232mm) and scales register 7 Lb 9 ½ oz (3.441 Kg). The usual 3” (75mm) Magnum Chambers Steel Shot Proofed too. NOT that I agree with putting that through, see below.

This is a cheap enough gun for anyone doing serious pest / pigeon control or even Wildfowling. I have given it a general clean through too as WAY too much oil present when it came in. As such it should be good to go.

£199.99

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.
