I've not tried a Hatstand, but if you get a good gun it will last for ever. I have a 12 year old Benelli that has fired over 30,000 rounds and still works perfectly and by now the cost of cartridges i

Do not go near the hatsan I bought one a few years ago just to have a cheap gun to throw about first time out in the mud I had ducks and geese all around 3 miss shots and 5 jams the last jam was that

Do not buy a Hatstand mate, they are shite, you would be better pissing your money up the wall, get a used gun of a good make, you should get a good Franchi or Fabarm for your budget, or better still

I am sure you are right Charlie, my shooting buddy changes guns more times during the season than I fire shots, he is never happy!

He had an Extrema this year and swears it is the worst gun he has ever shot, wouldnt cycle, something broke etc etc......

 

Just pointing out a fact, that I could not agree, mine works, maybe I am lucky!! Twice in january I had 2 greys dead in the air with it....very happy, I get to keep my Beretta away from the beach and the mud....happy days, and at £180 second hand (never fired!) it was a steal......

 

Anyhoo, not trying to cause a stooshie! I have heard bad things about them too, but you cant tell till you try one!

if you want a semi better buy a second hand beretta or benelli ...I have a beretta 302 sitting there I could sell you for 300

Cheers MIK, all the advice i'm getting is pionting to a good used gun. Where are you based as i would be interested in your offer?

There's plenty who don't like Hatson's for sure but several that do also, my mate has one that he got for doing the stuff he didn't want to wreck his other guns doing and reckons for the money its great..

Uses it a lot but he is very careful re service, cleaning and the like.

 

I was simply telling Andrew his options :bye:

      Ward & Sons Shotgun identification/value
      By J3rry87
      Dear Forum Members,
      I am looking for info about my fathers shotgun. He has a Ward & Sons gun, used it for hunting but it has been damaged a few months ago (on the stock) and now we are wondering what to do with it. Other than that damage it is in a really good condition (barrel, trigger, etc). He had the idea to get a new stock for it but based on my research there is not much of a chance to do that.
      My questions:
      what kind of gun is it exactly? is there any value to it? Could we sell it? You can find pictures about it here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1tG4E1Juv5OjTNgrzvav6V9MnnWBhHjG_
      I appreciate any advice, thank you very much and Merry Christmas!
      Best,
      Adam

      Interesting italian O/U
      By Rock_Monkey
      Evening folks,  long time target rifle shooter at county level and just getting into Both sporting and game shooting with shotguns.  Whilst trawling the second hand racks of the local dealers came across this beauty and snapped it up as it was in good condition and I thought perfect as a mixed gun for a little pigeon shooting and clays here and there.  
      Thing is the shop owner and his gunsmith had no idea what maker it was and the previous seller had called it a “finito” which was actually the final proof mark from the Italian proof house.
       So it’s down on my certificate as an unknown 12gauge and I’ve got this little worm eating me up as to what maker it actually is.  
      I’ve attached a few pics and I believe the star in a Shield below the barrel release and on he base of the barrels is the only non proof mark on it.  
      Many furher info you lovely folks can provide would be awesome.
       Thus far I know it’s an Italian proof from the Gardonne/Brescia proofing house and dated 1978.
      Whatever the outcome it fits great and I seem to be getting plenty of pigeons and clays in the bag so even if it’s a pile of junk I’m not fussed. 
      Thanks in advance for any helpful info.
      looking forward to loads more posting and discussions as I get further into field sports.

      Advice required about Shotguns
      By Longshanx
      Hi Fellas, 
      Ive been looking to purchase my first shotgun and it’s a bloody mind field to be honest.
      Im after an O/U, ejector,  Multi choke, with 28” barrels.
      Don’t really want to pay through the nose for one quite yet with it being my first and wanting to see how I get on with it.
      My concern is that I’m right handed but left eye dominant. When I use a rifle with iron sights I have to sit at a bench and use it left handed. So I’m thinking I will have to train myself to shoot left handed with a shotgun?
      There is a clay pigeon club near me and thinking of paying for a day there and using there guns with a tutor to see how I get on.
      Someone on here was selling a Winchester XTR 101 sporter for around £400. Looked quite a tidy little gun.
      Also I have a mate of mine selling a O/U and a SBS for £150. Not sure what makes? I’m thinking these things are older than the Arc and think I’d rather keep the cash for a half decent one.
      Any advice would be great full.
      Regards
      L.

      Hushpower .410 cleaning
      By Plank
      Hello,
      I have been bequeathed a single shot Pedretti 410 with a Hushpower moderator. I am not very experienced with shotguns but I have been trying to clean it. Unfortunately to get all the rust off the action I have damaged the blueing around the action so it looks like I will need to re-blue it. I am thinking of using the Birchwood Casey Perma blue kit. Does anyone have any tips or advice?
      Also although the barrel looks clean inside I have got some bits down it from when I was cleaning the rust from around the breech. So I tried to use an oily rag as a pull through. Rather than drag the muck down the barrel I thought I would drag from muzzle to breach. I was met with a strange sound as the rag just went up inside the barrel. After carefully extracting it the way it had come I saw there are what look like spaced out washers just inside the muzzle. Is it normal for these to be exposed or have I moved something inside the barrel? As I am trying to clean it thoroughly do I need to try to take the moderator apart to see if there is any rust inside? If so how?
      Thanks for taking the time.
