    Hi all. As the title states i was wondering if somebody could advise me on the correct method to pattern a shotgun. The reason i want to know is that i have recently bought a couple of extended choke tubes for my Winchester SX3 12g and i am curious how the patterns may or may not differ from the factory fitted flush ones. What distance should i shoot from and how large should the patterning target be. Also , should i aim at the Centre of the target or just beneath , as you would with a rifle with open sights , Regards , John

    Hi medic1281 A few months ago i bought my first autoloader and i opted for the Winchester SX3 Composite 12g. As i dont do clay pigeon i got the larger 31/2''chambered version rather than the 3'' model. So far the gun has not let me down once and the recoil is totally non existent. The loads i am using at present are RIO'S number 6's 70mm carts. As already stated , if you want the gun mainly for clay pigeon then go for the 3'' chambered version as this model will handle the lighter loads. The SX3 is also reputed to be the fastest semi auto in the world and there are a few li

    Hi As the post title asks , are there plastic decoys that will fit on an electric pigeon flapper. I know that freshly shot birds are the best to use but the problem is that , at this present time i havn't got a chest freezer to store recently shot birds in that i could use on the next outing , so if i could use a plastic decoy just to start with , i could replace later on with a freshly shot bird , All the best , John http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h263/motormadmarc/today005-2.jpg

    Hi all As i'm new to pigeon shooting I'm slowly trying to collect all the , so called essentials that people use. I've just purchased a pigeon flapper and a smallish 12v battery that came with the flapper & also a 6 / 12v trickle charger . As i've never owned one of these flappers before , i was just wondering how long it takes to charge up this battery to it's maximum , as it didn't really come with any specific instructions. The charger only seems to have a red illumination light that seems to stay on all the time. Also , on a full charge approx how many hours will i g

    My first shotgun was a Second hand 'Lanber Sporting Deluxe' 12g. I had the gun about 5 years and i had no trouble at all. I got the idea to buy a Lanber from my friend at work who bought his new about 15 years ago. he has also had no problems , All the best , John

    I was just wondering if there are any UK suppliers that sell spares for the CZ 452 rifle , things such as screws , trigger guards etc. I've tried Chambers Gunmakers , but they only supply the bullet Magazines , John

    Hi all A few months ago i bought a brand new Winchester SX3 Composite 12g and i was just wondering what the procedure would be if i wanted to increase the shot capacity to 5 shot from the uk's standard 3. Is it just a case of taking the gun to a Gunsmith and having the plug removed , & adding the gun to my FAC. Also , how expensive is this procedure likely to be , john

    1888andybhoy Spend as much as you can and buy somethiong decent like i did , a Winchester SX3 31/2'' Composite. I've owned mine now for 6 months and has never let me down once. A quality semi Auto and Cheaper than a Bennelli as well , John

    Thanks for trying Phantom Not to worry though. As i've already stated i can still use the adjuster with a screwdriver , so once zeroed i shouldn't need to worry about it again , All the best , John

    I havn't got one of those precision measuring devices but these are pretty close from a standard ruler , The recess in the adjuster guide where the missing screw in part sits in is 12mm in circumference The Adjuster itself is 23mm in circumference The screw hole through the adjuster guide & missing part is 4mm John

    Hi all I have recently found an old BSA scope 4 - 32 that i have not seen for at least 20 years or so. It used to sit on an old HW77 that i sold many years ago. Anyway , the top turret that controls the up / down adjustment is missing the chrome dial , which screws into the top to make the adjustments. If you study the top picture you can just make out a slight recess where the chrome click adjuster should sit and screw into. The Black plastic dial pictured next to the scope is the adjustment guide which i cannot use without the chrome piece that is missing. If need be ,
