Seemed healthy, just average condition for our summer

thanks

You are correct WW Greener

WA

@@LtFrankDrebbin Spent many days in my youth hunting out near Goomalling and Dowerin.

@@mchughcb Awesome! So you're familiar with my turf then 😁 and the lack of variety in game

thanks 😎

Will do, I will take it rabbit hunting soon. Are you asking me to explain the safety catch on the gun?

😎😁

Silvafox whistle, A little pricey and takes a bit of practice to get it right. But it is the best I've used

@@LtFrankDrebbin I couldn't believe how quickly you called them in. I will check Silvafox out....keep up the good work.

😁

Made in 1902 according to the serial no

Thanks mate, I will say the tripod is new to me. That is a whole different skill to adapt to.

using 32gram (1-1/8oz) BB's

​@@LtFrankDrebbinnice. Lighter loads make better videos

Cheers man, don't worry more videos inbound

Thanks, first time I'd seen one and I'm out there often

Thankyou, I couldn't not try. Although I'm well out of my comfort zone with it 😁

Ok, thanks for that

Cheers man, glad you appreciate it.

Ha ha don't worry my head lining took a lot of pretty language. Like most things would have been better with practice. Bust stressful when you only get one crack at it.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words. I will help me to keep pugging away at it 😁

Thanks mate, yeah all the nooks are getting flooded with good stuff as I go.

😱 That would be absolutely tragic!

We are in Northern Ireland and use Australian ADI , very good quality!

I totally agree, Hornady use to be 100% reliable. Not now.

What scope are you using

Infiray TD70

Cheers mate. Yeah I don't have any dogs yet 😎

Southern Western Australia, we'd be around the same latitude so I guess the climate would be similar giving us comparable country. Thanks for watching.

@@LtFrankDrebbin pleasure mate. And yes, the climate is more or less the same. A visit to Aus is on my bucket list.

Thanks mate, yeah it's not all about the hunting. There is the other bonus experiences you while out and about

I have very much noticed the same pattern. It all seems to be thermal now. Yes I am guilty of using NV as of late purely for the vermin control side. But day calling with the shotgun can't be beat!

Awesome info to hear, thanks for sharing. Thing is mine is a beautiful gun to shoot with 1oz loads as designed. It just gets savage on the 1-1/8th loads. It has been proofed for 1-1/4 but I won't exceed the 1-1/8th.

@@LtFrankDrebbin I have to laught at myself here as I thought you meant WA as in Western Australia!! I take it you live in Washington state in the USA??

@@gregw9289 You are correct the first time. I am in Western Australia.

Not sure what model or grade, those marks are quite faint now. The proof marks put it in the 1896-1904 manufacture range. But yeah auto ejector chokes are 1/2 & full. There is something so elegant the way an old English SxS handles. Sometimes I think I don't deserve this one. And yes WA. Thanks for watching.

Nice, I have a Greener book with all the models & grades, with the serial no. I can date the gun. The amount of engraving is a good indication of grade, nitro proof 1 1/4oz generally 2 3/4" chamber, 1 1/8 oz 2 1/2".

@@bruceyeoward6544 Cheers thanks, I have done a little google digging just recently and found info that was not available when I first got the gun. According to serial no# I believe it is a hand made gun from 1902

Wow...That's nice.

😁

1B made in 1955, they're great little rifles for sure

Would you like subtitles?

@@LtFrankDrebbin You can't spell "discretion" and don't care to proofread or edit so your subtitles would not be helpful.

@@papat7435 I'm so sorry, grade 1 was the hardest 5 years of my life.

@@LtFrankDrebbin It was probably worse for your teachers.

Had a gun smith fit a rail just forward of the breech. That would have been 25-ish years ago.

@ thanks for that I have a single shot same as yours it still shoots perfect after 1000s off bullets over 66years

@@mervyngreen6635 Yep they're great little rifles.

I still own it and still use it

Thankyou very much. I often question myself on weather I deserve such a nice old gun 😁

Brass could be your biggest challenge. It is hard to find now. It is not too hard to form 32-20 brass into 25-20 though. Aside from that the 25-20 is a fun little cartridge to load and shoot.

@@LtFrankDrebbin Thanks for the response. As I said, I'm new to reloading and want to start with a relatively easy calibre to reload with. 32-20 seems to be firming as my most likely choice. Cheers

@@ohlordy2042 I have owned a 32-20 in the past, and yes I would say they are more reloader friendly. Some people have issues with the thin case wall, but I never found that an issue. From mild with the 115 grain cast to wild with the 85 grain XTP they are a lot of fun!

Good luck finding 32-20 brass now to reform to 25-20.... those are the Doe Doe birds of the cartridge world... have about 500 loaded up from original brass and reformed 32-20 brass.. small pistol primers, Missouri bullet Co still has bullets, but bought out the last 32-20 brass from Starline 5 years ago...

Also 4227 powder...

😆😇
