Personally I think it's simply nice that someone with a great collection takes the time to make a video, give his views, and share.Originally Posted by Mark D
Thanks for the link Louis and Happy Christmas
My observations - He spent way too long banging on about 'repairing them' both at the start and end of the 8.42 video.
Not a comparison at all, fails to mention anything about pricing differences when they were made, nothing about calibre, nothing about ease of use when pumping, nothing about accuracy and nothing about the history of the models. Didn't shoot either one of them
Don't think our Matt has anything to worry about
I really enjoy seeing Mark's guns, up close in detail. Especially that T&C stock is just unbelievable. DT Fletcher thought this must have been a salesman sample.
I have a Super Grade Model A and a T&C 107. Both are great guns.
The SG is better made. Both are nice to shoot and accurate. The SG is more powerful (I have been working on my inlet seal, and it seems to work well now: 15.5 ft/lbs on 8 pumps).
The T&C is easier to reseal.
The price difference was substantial, with the T&C being about half the price in 1949.
But this shows in the better quality materials, tighter tolerances, and attention to detail of the SG.
