Jimmy:

Don't fear the ammo issue. Its simple to solve.

You have a press. Just trim once fired 2 3/4" hulls down to 2 9/16", use an appropriate lower pressure recipe for a 2 3/4" straight wall hull, and add a 20 ga. shot card on top of the shot column before you start to fold crimp. Then load as normal on your press. No adjustments needed to your press. It is that simple.

I'm guessing your best bet is using 20/28, Unique or Green Dot. Longshot is another option.

If you need a cutter, let me know. I can show you how to make one with an exacto blade in a wood dowel that zips right through hulls. Russ

Not for 5000.00. Not even if they were made of gold.The whole gun isn't worth that. EEB's suggestion is a valid one only who would do such work?

Good to hear. I had a fun time shooting Hausmann's SxS shoot for the first time this year. Looking forward to returning in 2026.

Problem solved!

The trigger is better than the mechanical trigger that's on the '74 FN Superposed, which is better than the inertia triggers that are on the '59, '70, and '71 guns.

I’m familiar with the knock on Spanish guns of a certain era. In particular the “not properly treated metal” problem. But I don’t really know the dates or period of time where those problems occurred.

So my question is, when did the Spanish makers get their crap together and start hardening their metal components properl? When did they put that problem behind them?

CZ, are you sure you didn't shoot those birds in Scotland on "The Glorious 12th"? Don't be modest and pretend you got them in Iowa or the Dakota's. Or perhaps you're pretending they were shot in the U.S. to avoid paying any tariffs.

Poor DimmyW must be totally confused by all of this snow and cold in the Midwest in December. I'm expecting FedEx to deliver four Nokian factory studded snow tires for my daughter's car today, but that's because I know it still snows in the winter. This isn't fitting Dimmy's narrative of record high temperatures every day. Probably just another example of Trump fixing what Democrats broke.

I would like to get a couple of custom gun cases made for my 470 O/U double and the 10 ga double rifle. Both would be very hard to find in a vintage case. I have found Jorge Pinero custom cases out of florida on Gunsinternational. Has anyone here dealt with him before? I don't see a seller rating on GI as most other sites do. Thanks.

Thank you.

I don't know what the asking price was, I don't follow gunsinternational, I hope someone else can help. I only came upon that rifle, by researching Marshall Fields gunshop, which led to the bears, which led to J. Bruce Allen
which led to the ad. Who do you think did the stock? John Wright?

Thanks Mike. While I was there yesterday, and had the rifle on the bench, we could see that the slider section in the broken off wing had moved. I couldn't see a screw on it then but I didn't do a detailed look with good lighting and magnification, so perhaps one is there. Thank you for sharing this info.

Sold, thank you.
