    My elder brother had a brand new MK3 Supertarget back in the day, he bought it from a Grattan catalogue and paid weekly, so that tells you how far back we are going, it was a stunning piece of kit, and possibly the Rolls Royce of springers then, practically hand made, i am not sure what the FPE on these things were/are, but it sure did shoot well when combined with the Parker-Hale aperture sight

    That's an early action fitted to a later stock, It's own stock was kaput and went in the bin, The one fitted was black with grime and age, I stripped it and couldn't believe haw nice it actually was under the years of grime!!

    It needs a few more rubs of oil as I only gave it four..

    My mum's Grattan catalogue had the odd choice of FWB 300, Baikal 12 bore O/U, or Webley Hawk with interchangable barrels (when you weren't browsing "other areas" ).
