[fergie 0]

Well I went out yesterday with the wife, air rifle and my top of the range single barrel £5 12g we got to one of my shoots and the mrs is going to shoot the air rifle she takes 2 rabbits in the first 15 minutes the first at around 20 yrds the second at a good 45-50 yrds (cracking shot but don't tell her) any way I thought to myself that’s not firing all that well, upon looking I realize the air cylinder is nearly empty. After getting the third degree of I told you to fill it up it’s your fault and me wishing I hadn't taken her along. I get the 12g out I only brought it along as I hadn't fired it since I bought it about a month or two ago.

anyway we walk around one of my fields for about an hour and it gets its first kill then its 2nd 3rd, I then suggest we go through the woods see if I can bag a squirrel or two but didn't see a single one we start to walk back to the car back through the same field and get a couple more end tally was 5 to the 12g and 2 to the air rifle

So what's the background on a £5 Shotgun?

 

It sounds like you have either got the deal of the century or a deathtrap??

it belonged to my game shooting club but as there attached to the army, this and two sbs's where kept in the Armoury on the barracks. Well the armoury said they had to go as there was no longer any space for them and instead of it being handed in to the police i bought it for £5 as a gun to sling around my shoots.
