THIS IS CATCHING!

Post by DuncaninFrance » Fri Jan 04, 2008 5:44 pm

Been to Bordeaux this afternoon looking for a second hand O/U shotgun and came back with a new Marocchi Trapper 12g O/U for 289€ / £216 / $426.

Nice gun Duncan, isn't there something wrong with the barrels though, they seem to be turned 90 degrees to the stock. :shock:

I'd get that sorted mate. ;)

AND THE ANSWER IS!

What is the barrel length?
61.5cm / 24.2" Peter

No, it's the stock that is turned 90º to the barrels Adam :shock: so it should be OK.

I was hoping to shoot some patterns plates tomorrow afternoon with BP cartridges but the weather is siling it down at the moment so I might have to wait till Wednesday / Thursday

very nice Duncan , Ignore the old fashioned idea that Adam has about the orientation of the barrels . With the over under configuration you dont get the muzzle flip that you get from the antiquated side by sides.

Perhaps Adam would like to add a comment about the merits of the coal burner he likes to use
