  • Thanks again for your support on the Rhodesian Shotgun thread. From the amount of "LIKES" it received, it appears there was only ONE person who objected. Hes also the same one who continually insisted on interjecting his posts that werent relevant to the thread.

    Those are hard times

    I liked your summary- especially coming from a technical investigation

    I find it hard to revisit some of those memories
    Small world - yes it is indeed sn 1200 - purchased it cheaply so no dramas on that - but will pass it to a gunsmith before it leaves England - big question does it shoot accurately

    It does shoot OK

    New barrel on it with about 30 rnds only

    I spent about £4000 on it

    The Gun Smith who I commissioned to build it didn't do a very good job in the first place, then messed up the feed lips trying to get it to feed

    i had the feed lips rewelded and refettled by another smith

    He got it to the condition you now have it in

    However I lost trust in it and binned it

That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
