Glad you had a good day Robert. As for OT, well it can be a killer at first, but it is also very highly addictive for many people, myself included.
les, its 205 miles door to door and we can do it in 3hr 30 mins in the motorhome. Mini ips has lived /~worked there for 14 months and we go down every 4 to 6 wks however as yet Mrs ips and mini ips have not allowed me to Begger offBlimey, that's a long old drive Ian. Bisley is not too far from Windsor as it happens and the NCSC is a nice place to shoot. :wink:
Yes Yes Yes !!!! It is that rib mate. It's so many years since I've seen one of those ribs. A mentor of mine, the late Emilio Venturini had a D5G trap gun made for him and it had that rib. I used it a few times and I shot it quite well, but I could never have afforded one of those guns. It just seemed to glide through the air, even though it was no lightweight! In fact Emilio who owned the gun is the only Italian trap shooter I ever met that did not use an Italian made gun, he loved his Brownings and Mirokus. Is that your gun by any chance? If so look after it mate, it's a lovely gun, even though B25s seem to be out of fashion these days! :wink:Good service Matt
Les, back to the thread, is this the rib you're referring to?
nice, all good except the sideplates imo, and i prefer the narrower raised rib as per the A1 standardok Les:
A pair of Browning A1 traps, consecutive serial numbers hoarded by Mick Grinnal when he was still with us. Have them sideplated in this country, border engrave but blued as per barrels. Keep the trap comb height but round the grips and gameify the fore-ends. Fit plain pads one red one black to distinguish. Bore one out to improved and quarter, leave the other browning threequarters and full. Call them partridge and pheasant. Just cleaned Red after yesterday at Hodnet on sporting with 3-5 traps per stand.
