  1. Evening all, Bit of an issue arose over the Bettinsoli I thought I was getting. The gun was on the sellers certificate as a Bettinsoli, but as it was in storeage with our local RFD on them transfering it onto my certificate, they noted it as a Beverly. which is engraved on the steelwork. I can't find anything on these guns on the internet, and the previous owner has misplaced the other chokes. Leaving me with just 3/4 and full in the gun. Ideas on a postcard please.
  2. Hello bud, I'm a new start on here too. The guys always seem keen to help, and share their knowledge. Happy hunting
  3. Hey Toasty, I have heard of this before. I have been doing a bit of looking into these guns and all reports seem to say older guns with a heavier load experience trigger issues. Another problem which arises is that following the first barrel, the recoil engages the safety giving you a misfire on the second. Pitty, the rest of the gun seems to be well made.
  4. Thanks for the advice guys. The gun thins out to be a Beverly. Listed on the sellers certificate as a Bettinsoli. There was a bit of conversation with our RFD who seems to think that Bettinsoli made these guns for the HullCartridgeCo who marketed them as a Beverly??? Has anyone ever heard of this? I don't want to order Bettinsoli chokes if its not the same gun.
  5. Cheers for that Reece. Do you know about stockists for Bettinsoli? The problem is, the previous owner has misplaced the chokes, at the moment its got 3/4 and full in. I would be looking to get the set to broaden my scope for a mixture of wildfowl and clays.
  6. Cheers for the feedback Jason, Does the gun have the option to select ejectors or disable? PS. That sooks like a fair Hare!
  7. The countdown is on, canna wait to get off this rig and out onto the mud!

  8. Yeah, just spoke with a pal, who's the seller. Looks like i've just bought it! Happy boy!! The early bird gets the worm, the second mouse always gets the cheese
  9. Thanks for the Link, just what I needed to see. Although, I think I've decided and it looks like I've got a Bettinsoli, going to be a more suitable gun, being multi choke!
  10. Anyone have any thoughts on these guns? I have put a deposit down on a Baikal but am toying with the idea of changing this for a bettinsoli which may be coming on the market. Thoughts would be appreciated The early bird catches the worm, the second mouse gets the cheese.
  11. Hey Steve, welcome to the site. I'm new here aswell. Finding it very informative. So what's your sport???
  12. Hey stay keen, welcome to the forum. I'm new here aswell but it seems full of knowledge. Happy hunting
  13. Hey lurcher man welcome to the forum, dogs are not my sport but the forums very welcoming. I've joined recently and am finding it a great resource. Happy hunting!
  14. 1970s gun proofed for steel, are you sure? I thought steel was only introduced commercially in the 90s??? Will have a look over those reviews though! Cheers for that.
  15. Yeah, I might have to speak to a couple of the neighbours no issues withese on our croft. Thanks for the reply.
  16. Sorry to here that Jim, can't see it lasting long if its up to that sort of thing. You don't have any info on the gun do you? An owners book or any idea where to find info online? Everything I can see on the bloody thing is in Russian.
  17. Following on from my intro post, I mentioned the Baikal IJ-27E i have left a deposit on with Grahams of Inverness, our local firearms dealer. The gun is an old model twin triggers and fixed choke at half and full. Some research online tells me that from the engraving, rather than stamped detailing on the steelwork, the gun dates from between 1970-1976?? Obviously proofed for lead given the period, could anyone advise me as to alternative shot types which may be used safley through the chokes. My intention was to be looking to take down a goose or two over the next couple of weeks over stub
  18. And thank you Sussex. Just started off on the new members section waiting to get the approval from the moderator. Will probably move on to the wildfowl section cheers for the pointers though.
  19. Mines a dog lover aswell but she would ruin a working dog. She wants to stop work for a while if kids start appearing on the scene and thinks it'll be more practical to leave it until then. It's a nightmare, I know her plan as soon as I'm back offshore the beast will be out of its run and in my side of the bed. I can see it resenting me already!
  20. Try no to touch the things, good for this sort of thing but that's the limit of my involvement. Did you get a chance to look at my post Baikal fixed choke? I'd really appreciate some advice.
