Go me stumped. Possibly a one off. The action shape is that of a C or D grade. Is it signed by an engraver? It may be possible to see if it relates to someone working for the factory in 1977. If not it could possibly be an after market custom job.

There are probably still quite a few, Even though I shoot most weekends and well in touch with the shooting community. Every now and then I come across a club by a handful of people close to near where I live that have operated for years. The number has dwindled quite a bit. In the 80's...

How about this one. Boxing day shoot several years ago. Chap with an old auto had a jam with a live cartridge in the chamber. He couldn't open it with the bolt handle. Him and his mate got a cleaning rod and started to try and knock it open with the rod down the barrel. I was on the next stand...

From what I can tell, it should be stamped Bohler on the Barrels, if not then they are something else. Beretta no longer no longer use it for SO barrels. Looking at other forums it looks like Bohler steel has not been available to the gun making industry from around 2004. The reason in very...

So Basically you have the itch for a new gun. And there's nothing wrong in that , I do it a lot. Funtionally the CG will give you nothing additional to the 725 other than a higher rib. Unless your absolutely convinced you want a high rib and 30" barrels I would stick with what you have. On...

Yes it's written in the issf rules. No semi auto or Pump action allowed. I can only presume it's due to safety. Maybe the scatteting of spent shells but also maybe not being able to confirm if the gun is clear. The gun has to be emptied when moving from peg 5 to peg 1. Apparently your not...

I believe that Perazzi pride themselves on regulation are one of the best at it. Belgian Brownings are are patterned on a plate and have to be spot on before they are allowed to leave the factory. Infact new guns have generally always come with the pattern sheets in the box. The japanise...

Will may not respond as I believe he's taken a sabbatical from the the forum to concentrate on and not distract from other ventures. I can't answer for him but here's my thoughts. I don't own either but have shot them both back to back several times on demo days. The 694 is a fine gun that...

It may or may not be relevant but from experience I've found that compared to Browning/ Miroku shoot higher than Beretta. With Beretta and also Perazzi to get the same results I need to see more rib. Somwhere in the region of raising the comb by 3 to 5 mm. I've heard it before people speculate...

I really wouldn't bother having them done. 4 pounds is about right. It won't make a jot to your scores if you put it out of your mind. It's only when you get to 6 or more it may become an issue. As I've said before, If you see someone try to shoot when they've left the safety on. They pull it...

The 3 that I observe. They don't bug me as much as I just wish people didn't do them. 1. Gun singers. Those that use the momentum of lifting the gun to slam it shut. I've even seen people start by moving open gun rearward to get more momentum behind it. Longterm it will damage the gun and It...

If a decent Gunsmith can weld/make parts to keep a 100 year-old one off sxs going the same should go for any gun. The problem is finding a decent gunsmith.

Sorry to hear this, it will be a shame. At one point I'd post something without thinking too much about how it would be read or interpreted. I think carefully now. The number of posts I've started and not hit the post reply button is daft. Good luck with the new venture.

Perazzi sporting barrels have tramlines as did a lot of the Nikko/Winchesters of the past. I think wisemanshave been known remove the wide motorway trap ribs that were popular 40 years ago on Browning B25's and replace with the now more desirable narrow game rib. They may be able to fit one...

I was going for the Bluing. The problem is it's come down to either that or a Boss Katana 🎸🎸 I guess I can live with the bluing 🤘🤘🤘

The thing to note with Beretta ASE, 682 Gold series. DT10. 682E , 686 E is the surface finish of the action or in fact anything with a nitride type of finish is that it may not be possible for a provincial gunsmith to re do or replicate to be the same as the original if it needs attention. I...

Looking forward to this one 👍

Send it back to italy. It will go back to the custom shop where it was built and come back as a new gun. A couple of years ago, I had an ASE90 done. They rebuilt it totally, refreshed the engraving and surface finish, rebuilt the barrels, top-level bolt etc..and trigger unit -.The pulls are...

Good reason to get it done👍 Did they replace the H bolt or build it up with weld? I guess the next question is which is best to have done and the gunsmith who can do it properly.

Did you purchase the Perazzi, if you did have you had any work done on it and where? I've just acquired an older one. The top lever in getting close to the 6 o clock position, there's a small amount left in it but I'd like to get it sorted before it urgently needs doing. Also the barrels could...
