Kempton Photos - Sunday 7 April 2024

[On-the-target]

Many thanks for the photos - looks like a great meeting with plenty of interesting items to make a visit worthwhile.

I prefer these to the Suoertarget, much nicer and with the rounded loading tap.

callumej, I can't reply to your PM as you've exceeded your storage space but the pistol you asked about was on a stall shared with Baz (Benelli B76), so it may be worth dropping Baz a PM or maybe Binners for contact details?

Kind regards,

John

Thank you John, I'll send Baz a message.

I agree. The trigger is way better than the later sintered ones and I like the way the foresight can be adjusted laterally then secured with a screw. Only problem is if the screw loosens, it's easy to lose the front sight block, as you nearly discovered on Sunday!

[Garvin]

Excuse my ignorance but how did they make the curly trigger that way? Was it machined, cast or bent in that shape?

Mel- This is the last Mk3 I acquired, The one I told you about on sunday..

Very envious John, that would look look great at my Monday night Bell Target club😉.

Good day with you on Sunday, very enjoyable drive and conversation, I was a a tad disappointed with the 50 when I got home and gave it a good looking at, never mind you win some and lose some.

Cheers
