I think that the purple on its own would be preferable . I have purple and then a pair of yellow to dark photochromic. The rational behind that is purple 80% of the time and to be honest the yellow / photo only get an odd outing plus using on game shoots which might start misty and I might end...

With ref to the steel type mine had it stamped on the barrels under the woodwork , but it’s not a given it will always be stamped . After about 15 years of hammering thousands of rounds through the gun , I actually drove to Wrexham arrived in the morning and had them look at my gun whilst I was...

For what it’s worth , mine had the push out ejectors , it was 38 years old . I owned it for about 33 years . however age is irrelevant given the quality of your gun the barrels are most likely Bohler antinit steel as used on beretta SO guns - the best . The Berlin Wall came down in 1990 so if...

Nice thing . I recently sold a K80 to fund a game gun . Id had it for nearly 30 years . Best trigger pulls I’d ever used ! I’d recommend a phone call to Alan Rhone . They’ll be able to tell you the gun’s history from the serial number . They also have perhaps the best service department and...

To be honest , not a jot of difference . my shooting ability went neither up nor down . It was bright though but not distracting . I took it off and installed a white Krieghoff small bead then sold the gun after a while . I gave the Hi Viz it to a mate who wanted a red sight to replace his...

Yes I’m a bit of a tinkerer . I bought a Browning / Hi Viz fibre sight set a few years back and installed it on a K80 . It had Red and Green light tubes in 2 diameters and solid white in 2 diameters. The base screws into the original sight thread and half a dozen different screws are provided ...

I had a Beretta 687 sporter ported by GunMark in the 1980s .. they offered a porting and long forcing cone conversion when these things were a fad . A bugger to clean and to be fair made no difference whatsoever, but I’ve always been a tinkerer :p

The only serious use for a laser cartridge is in rifles . It’s just one way of quickly and roughly aligning a new optics reticle ( telescopic sight is the general term ) to the rifle’s bore axis , so that you can get your first shots somewhere on the paper target , then you begin the dialling...

Some of us are at the age where we wiggle our fingers on the fore end to check we are still alive ..

You’ll actually find that thousands of guns have had their fixed chokes eased without ever seeing the proof house, there’s never been a law or requirement to do so . Any gun shop worth its salt will mic the barrels and chokes for you . You really need a proper bore micrometer to get the...

Good luck in your new venture sir . I always found that people from an engineering / technical background make excellent instructors as they tend to be process led to the end result , rather than all the Mystic Meg approach . If I ever bump into you there’s a pint waiting .

I have two guns I sent for conversion by Teague , Both Mirokus a 12 and a 20 . The work is superb . I took the opportunity to drive down and drop them both off . The workshop is superb their knowledge is unmatched . The whole process from start to finish was around 14 days . I don’t like...

IMHO* 4gm and or 1/2 a shot size isn’t going to make a major difference if she’s losing ‘ close’ shots , it’s not because the clay is slipping through holes in the pattern so filling it out on its own is a moot point . It would probably be more effective to drop the choking to 1/4 / 1:4...

I keep it simple now , Eley Olympic Blue 7.5 . Both plastic and fibre for use as the ground dictates , and always 28gm . I can get Fiocchi or Express +\- a quid or two but the Olys have never let me down over many years . I went through a few thousand 27gm Litespeed last year , but all in...

If you shoot well with a 525 , why give yourself the problem changing over to a different gun ? £6k would buy a nearly new 525 Heritage sporter . That ticks the something special box.

You certainly could order a laminate stock and fore - end from a browning dealer . The downside is that the pair are going to cost you 50% of the cost of a new gun , that’s the way of spare parts for anything . That’s why trading is recommended, probably as cheap to trade your current gun for a...

MK60 was made as a ‘ universal sporter ‘ and came with fixed choke barrels . Always a very popular gun for clays and game , the same reason as a 38 trap gun , that is some prefered the feel of the fixed choke barrels over the factory multichokes ( MK70 snd MK38 sporter ) which flare out at the...

Probably using every minute of production time to produce ammunition for Putin at a guess .

When I had a semi-auto , I used pipe cleaners soaked in a nitro solvent , great for barrel gas ports .

Shot , worked , slept for 40 years wearing my posh watch .It was bought because it was a tough stainless steel sports watch , long before the brand became synonymous with yuppies and buying for investment . Shooting in it is probably the least damaging thing I’ve done wearing it but every nick...
