410 mooching shotgun project

[topknot]

Hi,

Brought this little gun about 25 yrs ago as a project. The gun needed a new firing pin and the button which is pushed in to fold the gun in half, this was all turned up by mate.
I striped all the old oil finishes, re-cut all the checking back in to the woodwork and put a new oil finish on.

After all the years without a gun slip, its got a Brady gun slip now thanks to one of are members.










Cheers

Good stuff! Looks a little cracker!

What a wonderful piece, do you use it Andy ?

I love folding 410s, my favourite bunny gun is a similar animal. You've done a corking job on the one. I do hope it gets used!

 

[swotty]

Lovely job Andy, nice looking .410 certainly nicer than my Falco one!

 

[Macaroon]

That's a great looking job there Andy, looks a really tidy little "Garden Gun", as they were called when Iwuralad

We were all taught to shoot with one, and more importantly the safety and etiquette of it all.

[Ecoman]

Looks great

 

[Uilleachan]

Yeah, cracking wee gun

 

[Goatboy]

Now that's pretty, "an elegant weapon for a more civilised age" as the geek in me wants to say. You've done a lovely job on her, looks like a new pin. A lovely thing to take out on an early morning wander.

Hi,

Thank you guy's for the good comments on the gun. I the past i have took bunny's (and clay's) with the gun, but the land i shot over has gone to a new owner so no more.
The little gun only takes 2" cartridges

 

[British Red]

2" will get it done at the right range . Bring it up here some time Andy and we'll give it a workout protecting my veg!

 

[British Red]

Echo. .

Thank you very much for your offer Red, it will be good to give the gun a good workout.

Cheers
Andy
