So, can I take it it doesn't have the f-ugly sticky out coathanger or bit of metal rod sticking out of the handle then?.meles meles wrote:the gun has a 23.75 inch barrel and weighs a fair amount so the recoil isn't as bad as you might hope
It is one of these?

sign01 You've just let Badger off the hook - you could have let him squirm for a bit longer trying to justify his lack of pictures! :lol:phaedra1106 wrote:So, can I take it it doesn't have the f-ugly sticky out coathanger or bit of metal rod sticking out of the handle then?.meles meles wrote:the gun has a 23.75 inch barrel and weighs a fair amount so the recoil isn't as bad as you might hope

I saw someone shooting one of those at 600 on Century earlier this year...I remember it, as I've never seen someone take the back off a gun with pliers before to load it...meles meles wrote:yes ooman, it's that very gun...

He was doing it wrong then...
It's a simple rotary breech, just rotate it a quarter turn, let the old cartridge fall out, pop in a new one, rotate a quarter turn the other way, then aim and pull the trigger.
No pliers required...

I've been looking for one of those for a while, what do you have it on your ticket as, an LBP I assume?.
