Remington UK disty are going to swap my barrel FOC.

Said my 10+ year old gun was in better nick than some year old guns that
have been returned for warranty....

Now you can guarantee that if I didn't get the gun Dave pointed me too, I
wouldn't have got warranty... ha ha ha

Well...

I went to stick the new 11-87 in my old Remington's gun slip...and... It
doesn't beeding fit... Its a 30" barrel..

Ha ha ha ha ha..... Fine I can live with that.

First stand... fine, missed the first pair... Bum....

2nd stand.. Getting better.

3rd stand.. Jam.. Try again.. Jam.. Again.. Jam..

Oh my god.....Panic sets in...

Took it apart.. The clip over the gas cylinder that you take off for Magnums
was slipping off.. The old dust in it was so thick I just hadn't cleaned it
off., The cleaning fluid Id used had turn the dust into slippery goo and
everytime I shot the gun the magnum clip slipped off the holes.

Gave it ANOTHER clean and it played ball for the rest of the round.

Didn't count it as it would have been too embarrassing.. Not 100% sure Ill
keep it now I'm getting the old one back.. I did feel the extra 2" at the
end of the round (finar), shoulders ached with the weight...

You was probably like a kid in a toy shop when you bought it --just saw the
shiny paint and never looked for the rust. - If I remember right isn't there
a cover that goes over the spring to stop it coming off?
The 1187 Premier I had was very nose heavy compared to 1187 sporting clays
and when I saw that spring bypass valve I got another spring and drilled two
holes in lug of the SC's - cut spring down a bit to fit and it worked a
treat - bled off a lot of excess gas from action- never had jamming problems
just breakages.
Haven't been to Wedgenock for a year or so - is it tidy or have they
improved it any.

The one Ive got in for repair has a cover at the end of the mag. I actually
thought that was to support the forearm but now you said that it all became
clear and yes this one hasnt got that.. I was just going to drop abit of
threadlock on it as Im never going to shoot Mags.

The extra 2" does make it alittle top heavy. Not sure I could do a day of
100+ birds.

I love to silver finish on those SCs. Id love to have ago on one. Didnt
realise they were lighter... Hmmm... Might have to go out searching
again....

Ive got a Beretta 626 32" DTL O/U I need to loose at some stage as well as
this 30" remi but Im still holding out for the 105CTi. I asked Edgar
Brothers what the deal is but they said theyve still only got the one
pre-production eval. I just wonder if UK gunclubs will get funny about no
breech exit when trying to show the guns empty. Also this G3 1100 is also
out....<Wheres that lottery ticket>

Wedgeknock now have covered stands (very big covered stands, that can get a
party of 4+ under as well as the shooter). Its of course still open layout
cross some of the off road section but its become very popular again. The
high tower is a treat, and also cause for much swearing.....

We shoot Barby on a Wednesday but now the lights comming in (come in) its
good to get up to Wedgeknock on a sunday morning for a quick 60. We
sometimes go over to Bromsgrove as we've got a friend there but I wouldnt
want to do that to often as most of it is short distance stuff.
