I was lucky it did. Bang, bang, poof and the recoil didn’t feel right. Cleared the firing line at the range, disassembled the gun and knocked out the projectile with the range masters help. He told me to go buy a lottery ticket.

Going to need to tweek the fit on the new to me Browning twenty guage . Im going to make the LOP the same as my seven two five and comb set the same so switching gun should be easier . Or not lol . I miss enough clay targets now , why do I put so much work into making it harder ?

Westley Richards, Purdy, Holland & Holland now McKay-Brown and a handful of tiny workshops put out barely double digit production , you could be on a three yr waitlist. Its a whole other level. What surprised me was how many are used regularly , not just sitting is a vault.
I suspect that the guns hold their value much much better than golf clubs. A set of custom clubs has to be one of the fastest depreciating things you can buy.

Well... No different in that people will "invest" in something they think they will enjoy or get the most out of... In a way amortizing the cost of over time/use.
Like if you spend big money on something, the more you use it the less expensive it gets. Big boy toy math.
I was okay with spending $7k on a shotgun... I get lots of use out of it and really... spending more probably isn't going to improve my scores... Lol.
In all of the rounds of trap I've shot I've only ever gone 25 straight ONCE. I get close lots, but lately the closest has been a 23...
The last gun my dad bought for himself was a franchi 20 ga o/u. I don't know if he ever shot it but it made him happy. He always wanted an o/u and couldn't afford it when he was younger. I may get my pal mostly to have possession of that one.

'Buddy of mine had a lottery moment of his own.
Brand new Kimber .45acp.
We're at a match in Michigan...
Last round of the last stage of the match...
when I shot pidgeons/ grouse/chukars and all manner of birds , I was surprised how many 100k + guns would be out in a field. Canada not so much , krieghoff and parazzi at 30k ish sure , the Americans certainly spend more , for a few years they were buying up all variety of UK and Continental guns. Baretta is now making a 100k + gun, the SO , which was a surprise and there are some makers in Northern Spain doing double guns by hand for just silly money , but if thats your thing and you have cash like that , carry on.

Shooting sports are still somewhat accessible to the common folk here...
There are some countries where it's limited to the more shall we say "privileged" segment of society...
Those folks can afford the fancy-schmancy brands.
Here, on any given trip to the trap range you'll see the rich guy with his spendy gun shooting next to the workin' stiff with his $500 gun...
I like our situation better

Handled my roughly 10 year old Browning pump shotgun for the first time in a long time the other day. The entire pump stock portion feels like those ferrari sticky buttons...some sort of rubberized coating that seems to have gone bad. Haven't looked into how to remedy yet

Just in a normal fire rated approx 25 gun safe that is on the main floor of my home so no crazy temp swings or anything out of norm. Almost feels like I'll need latex gloves to handle it so my hands don't get sticky. Havent had it, or my other shotguns out shooting in probably 8-10 years.

That type of decay to that kind of finish is tough to deal with. I’m not sure there’s too much that can be done that’s a permanent fix. Most suggest rubbing down with isopropyl alcohol or ammonia but what will probably happen is you’ll need to keep doing this as more of the finish is revealed over time. What I’d suggest is looking to replace the plastic parts of the shotgun that are sticky.

Not a big fan of our AI overlords, but... Maybe they are right this time..?

Browning “Sticky” Stock — Causes and Fixes
If your Browning synthetic Dura‑Touch stock has become tacky, slimy, or adhesive‑like, it’s a known issue and Browning will replace it at no cost under their current support programCause
The “stickiness” is usually due to degradation of the Dura‑Touch® coating on synthetic stocks. This can happen when oils, solvents, chemicals (e.g., bug spray), or prolonged exposure to heat/moisture react with the coating . In many cases, Browning has acknowledged the problem and is replacing affected stocksContact Information
For technical questions or to initiate a warranty claim, you can contact Browning Canada Sports Ltd at 514-333-7261 or via email at service.canada@browning.com. It is recommended to call first to confirm the correct procedure.

Deet is rough on most rubber like products FWIW.

Awesome thanks very much. i've never downloaded or used anything AI related, can come in handy sometimes. Will try and find time to deal with it this week. Mine definitely wasn't exposed to any chemicals or anything of the sort, it still has the original yellow browning sticker on the barrel, probably only ever had it out shooting 3 or 4 times
