Warm Case (Graphic, not for squeamish).

You wouldn't believe the amount of empty eggs on our patch of shooting. I shoot them whenever I can, but it isn't easy. As Red said, fun creeping through the trees with a .410.

Great piece of kit. A pub I used to drink in (now closed) had a collection on the wall. Most were cut down even further and were alledgedly seized by a local keeper. I assume they were deactivated.... Had paper shells displayed next to them!

Taking them sub 24" barrels makes them section 1 nowadays. I have section 1 shotguns but, to be honest, the longer barrel gets a bit more out of the .410 cartridge. It still sits nicely in an inside pocket and shortening the barrel doesn't shorten the overall gun much (when folded). Its mostly used for a pocket vermin gun which it does nicely

These were displayed as curios, along with rusty bill hooks and other country type items. Would love to find out where it all went when they shut up shop.
Think there was an old .410 walking cane too. Would imagine this would be a section 5 so must have been a deact.

Ooh, I like that. An old major in the village I grew up in had one of these. He used to walk his drive every day popping off squirrels when he wasn't firing rock salt at us kids.

Its a nice wee toy - The trigger is a pop up under a sliding collet

The political correctness mob don't like them these days - but still legal as part of a collection on a section 2. That one belongs to my buddy. I will have it one day though!

Thanks for the pic. I live in Tasmania Australia and have seen crows do this also. If a ewe gets stuck on her side of a night Tasmanian Devils will come in and eat the poor buggers alive. Worst I seen while working as a farm hand was a ewe stuck on her side and devils had eaten one side of her face and bite marks on her udder and back end. Still alive when we found her early the next morning.
