    More of the young one

    BTW

    As pointed out to me, the firing of a pistol from a non approved range is not allowed, this is why those photos with the hand guns were posed photos only

    BTW,

    The bald headed old coot with the knobbly knees is none other than Mr Merde himself.

    I would have to agree with you there buddy, I saw some mighty fine shots come from Snipers Stirling.

    And if you tell me your not coming to the 2009 shoot I'll get Mrs Sniper to bind and gag you and I'll come up there and drag you along myself.

    Oh yeah, Welcome back mate.

    Where does one purchase the following items...

    12g Solid Slug mold
    00 Buckshot mold.

    I'm guessing they come out of the US or UK... - anyone? Reloaders especially...
    $2,000 cash if you find a buyer for my house, kumeuhouseforsale@straightshooters.co.nz for details

    No info in my catalogue on Buckshot. Simple ball mould should do the trick though?

    Shotgun questions

    12ga or 20ga - What are the differences?
    Pump action or Semi auto?
    Synthetic or wood (butt, grips etc)?
    What sort of price would I be looking at?

    Application would be small game - ducks, bunny's. Dunno whether my size makes a difference... not as little as some people

    'Gauge' is the calibre of a shotgun. How wide the barrel is. The lower the number, the wider the barrel.

    12 gauge shotties throw more lead with a bigger charge behind it.

    20 gauge shotties are good for little people who need to shoot little things.

    Buy a 12 gauge.

    Pump.

    You can get accurate shots off just as quickly, and pump action shotties are cheaper, lighter, and don't jam.

    Wood is classy, but synthetic stocks don't make you cry when you drop them in the mud or accidentally throw a box of fishing gear on top of them in the back of the truck.

    A grand will get you a very decent pump action 12 gauge from one of the Murkn brands. $600 will get you a bottom-end model on special, which would kill the critters just as dead.

    New is better but there are some good second hand weapons around? What sort of things do I look for when I'm looking at second hand weapons? Rust, pitting, smooth action? Take the weapon to a gun shop or gunsmith if poss?

    In shotgun parlance the term guage refers to the following


    The number of balls with a diameter equal to the bore of the shotgun, that in total equal 1 lb (pound) in weight.

    In the case of a 12 guage there are 12 balls with a diameter of .735" in a weight measurement of 1 lb

    In 20 guage there are 20 , in 16 guage there are 16.

    a .410 is the actual measurement of the bore.

    As to the other questions it is all up to a matter of preference.

    #1. A benefit of second hand pump-shotties, is the fact that the action should be silky-smooth...

    #2. A firearm is something that pokes out a bit of lead from the front end. A weapon can be anything (rock/club/knife/pointed stick, etc).
