Why would you want a gun that you cannot get spares or backup for it?

Yes that is true but Andy Castle seems to have a connection which makes it easier and in fact I think he is going over there soon.

So not quite the same as Perazzi then Cyril?........you can even get back up in Rodney Stoke with Perazzi!!    :wink:

WMSG Hodnet have a very nice one, Michael Meggison 'up north ' has a good few  in fact I think he was importing them and maybe still does.

I think if they had honoured their sponsorship of Richard & George they would still be very popular. Good guns if you can keep them working.

I think Tony would trade me in before his Kemen which in fact is one of Richard's he bought off him new back about 17 yrs.

did they not use perazzi bits on them? so the spares would be the same?

 

[shootinguru]

It's not a Perazzi! It's a poorly made imitation, the striking up and the blacking of the barrels are poor quality!.

 

[evoracer]

i never said it was!

No Spanish Gunmaskers were harmed in the making of this vitriol  :lol:

Well in 17 yrs of weekly use probably 250,000 shells only one spring and one hammer changed.  After 16 yrs he decided to have the blacking freshened up not that it had worn that badly.  That was where the problem occurred - four attempts to do it over here but it was apparently beyond them to do.  When he's ready he'll send it back to have it done.  He takes exception to you calling his gun shoddy.

Sian, tell him not to worry! We have some excellent barrel guys in the UK who can sort it!

There seems to be a problem with the black chroming as its not just simply blacking the barrels.  They black chrome the parts, take it off and then black it but if you mess up the first part, the blacking won't stay put and it was wearing off after 4/6 weeks every time he sent it back.  He gave up after the fourth attempt.  It'll go back to the factory next time.
