Shotguns: Show us your clay / game / zombie bashers

BusError · 4 May 2016 at 20:50

Have a SGC or a FAC, this is the thread to post pics of the content of your gun cabinet.

Here I just picked up a 1970s AYA Coral Over/Under 12 bore game gun. I plan to use it for clays (skeet possibly) and game, if I ever get to do that...

28" barrels, in really nice shape, interesting 'box lock', cocking indicators, barrel selection switch etc. It's a little bit over 3kg too, as light as my wife's 20 bore.

Post away!

Even though it isn't, but I did put about 80 rounds through it on a training range in NC

Felix sarasketa eagle, 12g, 28" o/u multichoke. This is the first gun I purchased when I got my FAC 22 years ago. I've owned several higher end Beretta's but those were mainly for clay shooting. Don't bother with it much now. Kept this old piece fir rough shooting. Gave the stock a stain and revarnish a few years ago as the factory coating was much lighter and plastic looking. But could do with getting the barrels re blued as they're a bit tired looking in places.

Interesting that it has that boxlock too like that AYA I posted...

Looks "tactical"! How does that shoot?
Not sure that would be seen on a posh clay ground tho -- apparently even normal semi-auto are frowned upon in some places...

semi auto shotties are used in some places for ducks and so on. i guess its not the upper brow kinda thing

Yeah that's definitely something I'd take in the bush too. Rugged, light. I wouldn't take my fancy browning there, it might get dirty! :-)

I've seen semi-auto people shoot on clay, but they are not very well seen -- most especially the spent cartridges going everywhere :-)

Damn wish I still had my O/U 12bore and .17hmr

Loved those guns

Yep, noticed this on a lot of Spanish guns. Proof marks are a bit odd on this gun too. It has 3"/76mm chambers but is stamped as 10.000 kg/sqcm as opposed to the usual 12.000 for a magnum chambered gun? I've never used anything longer than 70mm in it though.

Born_2_Kill_83 · 5 May 2016 at 11:02

Firstly my AYA No2 Sidelock (9 pin) ejector, kicks like a donkey with 32g+, but lovely quality to shoot

Also Hatsan Escort Marine Semi-auto 3inch chambers

A clearer photo...

BusError · 7 May 2016 at 21:17

Lovely sideplated AYA! Don't know anything about semi-auto tho; do you use that for games or clay?

Born_2_Kill_83 · 7 May 2016 at 21:23

Both, open choke with 28g 7's cart's and works lovely for a round or two of skeet, alternatively 3" 40g+ cart to barrel roll a fox so to speak, good alround gun and only cost £300 new.

opstrat · 7 May 2016 at 21:28

got a beretta silver pigeon for the odd game days that i get and a beretta DT11 for the clay's

going tomorrow for a day on the traps if the weather is decent.

Lovely stock on the semi auto Luke. I've seen so called best London guns with less figured wood.
