Hi.
I am new to double ownership and have found that by using a recommended load of 106 grains of AR 2209, with a 570 Woodleigh, sometimes it doesn't open easily. The other day I fired a right and a left and it was difficult to open, it has happened before, but to a lesser extent, is it the loads?
I can't send it back to the US for warranty, but maybe I might have to get a gunsmith here in Australia to look at it.
Any advice will be appreciated.

Cheers Baz.
 
Any pictures of brass still in rifle after firing
Or by themselves
 
Cheers guys.
I took it into the gunsmith this morning and it appears to be the left firing pin needs adjusting, just coming out a little bit to far.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
