Daystate QC Mk1

[monkeywrench]

Dug this out of the cupboard today, bought new by myself in the 80's not long after they came out, direct from Daystate at a trade stand at the CLA gamefair if memory serves me well. The serial No is HS0601, how early is it?

Please let the pics work

looks a very interesting gun
never seen one in the flesh but can remember when they first came out in the mags and wishing i had the money at that time to buy
whats the nob on the left hand side for?

The Mk1's had a variable power adjuster, pretty crude, the knurled wheel is simply a lock that allows the adjuster to move (right at the back of the action),
a good idea but in practice rarely used as it had no increments on it so was guesswork as to what power you had

Hi Bob, It'd be rude to say er um a few more tucked away in there (in better nick I might add) may have to have a bit of thin out to pay the impending solicitors' fees but hey ho, how's the shotgunning going?
