Right bob yea that was a bit of rust but its gone now and just a tiny mark where it was, iv not used the gun for a long time but im sure it all works fine appart from the lower barrell, its bloody lovely to swing round and feels great, i just got another i use all the time for foxing with the terriers and there is noone down here worthy of taking it to for repair otherwise it would be staying, if you can put me in touch with a good gun smith in gloucestershire i would be very greatfull cheers chris.
