escort shotgun.

I'm out this morning with my bro, when i'm holding the gun pointing upwards as i climb over a fence. I swung it back towards the floor only to have it fire a round. 5" away from my foot. The cartridge never ejected properly more like got stuck half way when the slider went back . I'm getting hold of edgar and wanting a refund. Piece of crap.

dont climb a fence with a loaded gun golden rule!

[mandog 36]

My mistake i was meant to say gate.

Doesn't seem anything to do with the gun to me, climbing a fence with a loaded gun is plain stupid.

 

In that case with a gate, I cant see what the difference is? Did you climb the gate or walk through it?

Should have have unloaded it, and broken it open !

[mandog 36]

Yes your all right.

Something i'll be doing in the future.

lesson learned i think mate, however i'd still get it checked out.............

What sort of workman blames the tools ?

[jamie g 17]

it will be more then a foot missing if that hit you !

 

get it checked mate but in future never carry it over anything loaded you dont get a second chance with rifles or shotguns. even a air rifle can be deadly.

 

i never carry my rifle round the shoot loaded even if im not climbing over anything i have round in the rifle but not bolted. if i need to shoot a fox oor rabbit i bolt it. if it dont get fired i take round out load back in gun but so the bolt need cocking again before a shot

 

take car

might as well add my two bobs worth.... as said before, climbing over anywhere with a loaded shotty or rifle is pure incompetence !

 

your lucky you never shot yourself, or worst off, your brother !

 

i owned an escort, i found it bang-on, never missed a beat..

My dads friend lost an arm climbing over a fence and another one was that a guy ripped half his face off with a shotgun

How i know because my dad is a GP and my mum was a nurse lol

It's been said already...FIRST Rule is unload over fences/gates/whatever....

 

But it is an ESCORT.....just search the history of THL.....

 

I have said before it IS only matter of time before this manufacturer kills someone...and Edgar Bros don't give a S**t!!!!!

a workman with crap tools.

 

in any case unload before climbing over anything, could be your foot next time or worse

Its not the tools that make a workman, good tools just make it easier to do the job.

And bad tools cause injury and/or screw up jobs!!

Cut a straight edge with a bent saw, build a level wall with a cheap spirit level, drill a hole with a chinese Bit, etc, etc!!

 

Buy an Escort Shotgun and you will understand!!!!
