i brought a left handed 3" mag in black the other month, cost me £370 had 3 outings with it so far, each pushing 200+ carts rangeing from 28g to 32g (noting major i know) and its jammed 4 times in this period, 3 of them were on the first outing it fires the first and ejects it but didnt align the new cart properly but after a bit of lube its been fine.

My apologises for taking so long to reply.

Hunter Zero, I'm after a left handed gun preferably in camo. All I do is rough, hide and Roost shooting now so would prefer a gun to blend in. As I don't do any driven shooting anymore I care not a dot how other people perceive the guns ' modern camo look'

I've noticed a big difference when waiting out for nervous Rabbits/pigeons with an uncovered air rifle and one wrapped in a scrim net (I'm sure they recognise the shape?). This is fine for laying out with a rifle, scope and plenty of time but not so for a shotgun, where snap shooting is the norm. Hence the want of a 'camo' shotgun.

So thank you very much for the offer but I'll have to decline.

 

Deker, I'm sorry but I can't find your previous post about the exploding barrel. Do you think it could of been caused by the choke issue I mentioned earlier? or do you think it was a serious flaw in the barrel?

 

It was not a lose choke it was a s**t barrel and appalling quality control at manufacturer, the gun would not cycle short cartridges either (although that was advertised)...all in all it was a terrible design and terrible workmanship and terrible quality control and terrible materials....I hear talk things may have improved but I cannot imagine the day I would ever consider buying one again!

 

Thanks again for the advise everyone.

 

All the best

 

Luke.

I understand there have been some improvements in the design and manufacture of the gun, there certainly need to be.

I've had around 250 carts through mine now and half around half a dozen miss feeds, not brilliant i know but not the end of the world is it. Do I regret buying it? no, it was £300 and ive got £300,s worth, would i buy another? it would depend what was available to me at the time of looking but i'd definatley not discount one.
