    New shotgun

    I just bought a 10 gauge double, not a bad piece of walnut, Belgian proofs, German silver mounts, curiously converted to take musket caps, wide top rib marked 'London Twist' so made ready for American market, cost me 600 quid.

    Why did I buy a clunker? Because it must weigh 10 or 11 pounds dry which makes it a very silly gun and I like silly guns

    I shoot ML clays first Sunday in the month. Silliest guns so far are a bank gun with a 6 foot barrel, a wall piece, English Civil War musquette and a blunderbuss

    I can do pics but if tac foley catches me he will get all cross and start telling me off again.

    He can be a bit strange at times, has some weird bee in his bonnet

    What on earth are you talking about? PM me if you must, but making wild, unfounded and derogatory assertions about me on a public forum is a surefire way of getting left off MY Christmas card list.

    The holes have worn over the last 235 years and the pins fell out.

    I keep meaning to replace them but I mean to do a lot of things
