The firearm thread

Fire one using solid slugs and you'll get your answer.



(get one, especially if you are using a single-barrel gun!)

I'm not really keen on solids with that gun, it's more of a skeet gun.

[Mr Merde]

I let Wolf fire my SxS hammer coach gun. 18" barrels.

With #7 shot he found it Ok to use and fun.

Slipped in a couple of #4 shells and he suddenly knew what recoil was all about.

Get a slip on recoil pad, learn the gun then decide if you want to keep the pad.

Could also be benificial if the pull is too short for you.

13.5 inches is standard but some people need a little more.

PS hoping soon to try it with 00 buck. 9 .36 calibre balls going downrange.
Should be fun.

What are you hoping to kill with that?

Anybody know where one can purchase a waterproof gun bag?
As in a drop it in a river fish it out again and gun is still dry inside kind of bag.

[The Pastor]

you'd want a dry bag, thats what kyakers use to keep there gear dry.

Tin cans and steel plate

All the ones I've seen have been too short for a field shottie unless I got something massive. I could break it down but that would be a pain in the arse.

A section of PVC pipe, sealed one end and with a screw on inspection port at the other.

Like the one on the side of this contraption




Cut pipe to length and have a foam bit in each end to hold the weapon central.

Shouldn't be more than 30 bucks from Mitre ten

Hehe. Yep. Thankfully the Mossberg came with recoil pad attached.

An accurate, but very abridged, account of the event - Chris left out the bit where I commented on his parentage and sexual practices.

He also, thankfully, didn't attempt to describe the look on my face after I'd fired the first barrel of #4 - that'd probably take up about 50 pages or so and still not quite get the image across.

I'd hate to think what double-ought would feel like, given the difference between #7 and #4. Glad I never tried it with slugs - even with the recoil pad on the Mossberg they jar somewhat.

The differences in recoil between different firearms never cease to amaze me. Like firing Shiny Side Up's .30-'06 compared with my little 7.62x39 SKS - the difference between some big guy putting his hand on your shoulder and giving a bit of a shove and someone whacking your shoulder with a billy club. I would frankly prefer to fire the ought-six any day.

Or Chris' .44Mag lever action with black powder (sweet to fire, smooth pushing recoil) cf the .30-30 Winchester I once fired (that both green-sticked and displaced my collarbone).

Well I never... thought of that! I might give that a shot, cheers.

Love the duct tape!
