nice looking gun- should be a joy in the woodcock covers
but I don't see where he is asking for it to be more than what it is- sounds like he was searching for it

Thanks, I also didn't get why that was said, the whole idea of a 2 inch 12ga is for a light load in a light gun.

My apologies for the comment.
I was merely attempting to caution against over-loading the 2-inch 12. Others have - to regrettable results. They even try to lengthen the chambers. A visit to another notorious BBS will give evidence for that. But you apparently know what you're about. I shall keep my mouth shut in the future. |

James,
Nice looking gun. I use a 2" 12 for hunting pheasants and it will do the job! I'm using the RST 15/16 oz loads of #7.5, #6 and #5. I have a flat of the RST 3/4 oz loads, but haven't shot them yet. Ken |

2" shells
I shot a 2" chambered Purdey on a trip to Africa. The gun and shells were loaned to me by my PH. Shot everything from ducks to guinea fowl and a lot of them. Never felt underguned and what a pleasure to carry and shoot. Enjoy your fine gun for what it is.

Is that a 2 gun set? There looks to be a 1 engraved on the rib and the top lever. That is a beautiful little gun and would be a great little grouse and woodcock gun

Yea, I guess it was 1 of a pair, wish I had the other. Who knows where #2 is as the gun was made I believe in the late 1930's. Just waiting on a flat of RST shells to try her out. Also loaded some using cut down AA hulls with 3/4 oz of shot.
