This is a photo of me shooting it with B/P (Sorry - that was pretty obvious!!!)
And another of the action (appologies again as that is pretty obvious as well!!) But if you look carefully you will; see the locking mechanism is not standard - it is rectangulare block which slides into the breach face and the locking bolt slides over the top - still perfectly tight after all these years. I managed to get 2 boxes of 14 eley gastight. I shot one and kept one - reloaded the empties with B/P several times but theyare getting pretty tatty now. Then I got Rocky Mountain Cartridge to make me a few - they were a bit thick in the walls so didn't eject too well - then i found a supply of original brass cases so bought 100. They had the thicker rims so a freind turned them down and reemed out the primmer pocket to take modern primmers. They worked well but it was a fag using B/P all the time - so I started wrapping 16 bore cartridges in a little masking tape - only needs 1 1/2 turns to make a snug fit - worked so well that i had some thin metal sleeves fitted to the chambers so i can use 16 bore. This works great and we knocked some good birds down this year. It would be an easy job to return it to it's original 14 bore if needed.
