Yeah you guys are right. The high or stepped ribs were mostly used for trap, most commonly DTL and American trap. Over the years many DT shooters adopted them. They were never that popular with OT, UT or ABT shooters, although I have used a few over the years. Can’t say they made me shoot any...

Sorry but this just doesn’t sit well with me. If a dealer takes a gun to sell on commission surely charging storage as well is just not on. On that basis they will make money even if they fail to sell the thing. I’ve sold guns on commission, admittedly a long time ago, but I seem to remember...

Well me old mate, I reckon you’re right, it’s an old geezer thing! We can still remember the days , say from the 80’s , maybe to the early 2000’s when Miroku’s were everywhere. Some well known shooters in all disciplines used them to win just about everything in sight. The likes of Peter...

Certainly true in my case! 😖😂

Yes Mike , been there and got the T shirt 😂

Well after seven years away from clay shooting i finally shot my new, 28 year old MK38 trap gun yesterday. I’ve had it since last year and spent time getting it into fairly decent shape, it was a little tatty when I got it. My nearest ground only shoots DTL, which I’ve not shot in maybe 12...

Looks like a nice job. I have a grade three as well, but mine is 28 years old. 😂 I had my barrels re blacked earlier this year.

I got a link sent to me by BASC so I filled in the thing. I believe that all forms of shooting are under threat! Ok this is nothing new, but I reckon this time we are going to get hit hard!

It most definitely should not do that at any age! To be honest I’ve never seen anything like that and I’ve been shooting shotguns for several decades. I would imagine a proper gunsmith could sort it or get it sorted. Personally I would say have a word with Pat Croft, he did a job for me that...

I still hear from Ian from time to time. Yeah he’s into the green wellie stuff these days. 😂

Hello Robert, long time no hear, so to speak!  Yes some of us have come back here. Some have sadly passed away too.  Yep, Covid and the cost of living have taken their toll on all forms of shooting. My rifles went a couple of years ago, so I’m now down to just an old MK 38 to play with, when...

Business use??? Is he also a licensed slaughter man maybe? 😂

I will second that. 

Do you mean London W1 ? 

Well back in the 80’s/90’s I had two 682 X trap guns,a 30 and a 32,  yeah very heavy kit! Great for DTL but too much gun for fast trap, just my opinion of course. I had similar issues with a K80 in the end. But great guns all the same.
