    Sorry to hear that...but you can't really go wrong with a 870 if you decide to get one.

    My friend is reloading the round himself, I guess he bought some at almost 5 dllars a pop and save the braqssa nd just buy the bullets to repoad. the load he made up during that day was doing about 2750-2800FPS.


    The windrunner's 408 Cheytec bullet is machined out of soild copper and you can poke some one's eye out with it very easily. the tip is so sharp and the solid bullet is heavy, I can drive the round into some one's head with just brute force.

    the scope on it right now is just a borrowed IOR, the owner is getting a US Optics install on it as soon as the scope rolls off the production line.

    Yes, read the quotes :P

    I guess that answers my question whether you made it out to the secret up until now meeting place.

    Thanks Lee, my friend bought a bunch of brass and bullets at the time. The concern is obtaining more. Does your friend say where he gets the bullets from?

    Lol - I was just joking I'm sure someone can figure out the place by the color of the boathouse in the background...

    With Heller's Decision, I'm allocating extra cash for the Flea Market up at Maine...

    I think I've got this photography thing cracked, so here are a few more pictures. Nothing professional.

    Wonderful looking rifle. The last of the sexy weapons so to speak. Not only designed for war but also to have a look to it.

    Welcome to Britain.

    The funny thing is, it's easier to purchase a deactivated firearm than it is an airsoft replica! (Though, Jacqui Smith has publicly stated her interest in 'changes' to the law regarding deactivated firearms...)

    IMO, £295 most well spent. Going to clean her up (dreaded Cosmoline!) and mount her on my bedroom wall. A piece of British and family history! A piece of beauty and art!
