.410's First Kill

[whippeter69 88]

Went for a walk up one of my premissions with a mate off mine who just finished work and phoned me whilst i was walking there, se he picked me up half way and we went to the chosen spot.

 

Showed him my new gun and the only words that came out of his mouth were " f**k me its small" :clapper:

 

Went off to where i thought there might have been a few rabbits sitting out and seen 2 rabbits and my mate spotted a fox that we didn't see again unfortunately.

 

Then we walked along a wood and this bugger was sat on a old brick wall and i took a shot and he jamp like a f****r and then ran up a tree and ran down the tree line, so i walked down with it whist i reloaded the hammer and replaced a cart, lifted the gun and SMACKED him right in the head and he rolled off the tree branch.

 

I was a happy chappy with this and cannot wait until i take it out ferreting not this weekend but next weekend so expect a ferreting post from me

Please dont go trying it on fox mate as they are not man enough at range .Squirrels,rabbits ,rats and winged vermin are the fodder for a .410.

i had one very similar to yours, but mine was made in Belgium with 2.5 inch chambers i really liked it but i returned it as it miss fired a lot - would love another in good working order! i found out mine was made in 1934 but had been used and abused. i posted some pics of it about a month or so ago. interesting guns, it feels like shooting a cap gun!
