Nick,
How are you getting along with your Silver Pig?
I'm going to get a new gun; two on my shortlist are MK38 and Silver Pig so i'm interested to see what you think of your new investment!! Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Really liking it, the one problem it's got is the stock is showing slight water spots, tried wax and stock oil but I can just see them depending on light and angle I hold it

Spoke to GMK and they have said they'll look at, but suggested the stock oil to see if that sorts it, not been wet since so going to see how it goes, if it gets more then I'm sending it to them

It's not just the silver pig 1's though I think there's a higher end one, a dt10 I think that's been effected too, from what I read on pigeon watch

Still the stock might get marked a little with use, just didn't expect this so soon, the Browning's in the family show no signs of this at all Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Bit dissapointing for you, hope the stock oil works.
Are you using both 1/4 and 1/2 chokes? Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Yes I'm sure thats what I have in, though they say modified and improved cylinder with my gun Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

When I bought my 682 Gold E, I also bought a cleaning kit which came with a little bottle of CCL Stock conditioning oil, which I've used on my stock occasionaly from new (2005) and also on my DT10, although I cann't say my guns have been left out in the rain , they have been caught in some light showers from time to time and a monsoon last year at the PW N/S shoot at Hodnet were everything I had was soaked through after 3 hours in the p******g rain.
No marks on my stocks apart from the normal little dings you get through use.

I got Philips walnut Prep oil, on advise from a PW member, the oil seems to be doing a good job, but with the slight spots been lighter its as if you can still see them

Already got a slight ding from bring it out the cabinet, but its never going to be 100%, but if the rain does cause more stains, then something needs to be done, so might get GMK or someone to strip back and start fresh Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I use these whilst storing guns in the gun cabinet to stop knocks etc.

thought about one, is that the browning VCI the ones that are corrisive resistant or something

theres as 2 piece beretta sock too, which i thought about (doesn't look impregnated) but it will give more protection when i have it on the plastic carry case it came with, When made up in the cabinet i can put both on

gun shocks with corrosion protection are great. I use them after I go wilfowling, between the marsh and me getting home to clean the shotgun. I do not use them in the cabinet though, I never felt the need to do so. Just be careful when you take the gun out or put it in the cabinet...

@ pegleg

Have you seen this MK38 for sale?

Nick,
Thanks owd lad. I should have said i'm a pure lefty!!!
I have shot with r/h many times, but they don't fit very well.
Thanks for your efforts though, much appreciated. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

NP. How are you getting on after a year or so? I should have more time on my hands in the next 12mths so I'll be able to apply for my cert before too long. Did you acquire farmers permission for use of land before applying or were organised clay shoots acceptable?

Shootings going quiet well, use to go out and blast 150 clays on a weekend, but recently Ive been doing a 50 clay shoot with some friend

I just put down i was shooting at the local clay grounds, i joined the CPSA as a clubman and put Parklodge Shooting ground as my preferred ground. they asked if i was going to look at other types, but i said no immediate plans

I never have looked into permissions on land, as your there for a reason to help the farmer with his pests eating his crops etc, I just haven't the time to be out doing that regular, so I have not bothered looking further into it

In time, i would like to do it though

you do not need any farmers permission or any land owner come to that,it is still your right to own a gun just tell the firearms officer that you are to use it for clay pigeons,the real things can come later.You do not have to prove to them that you have land to shoot on,just smile and keep nodding as sometimes they try to get you into a argument to see your reaction,good luck and have loads of fun ( just got a new browning 725 )
