Hi There a few here in Australia ,They seem to have a bit of a problem with the Bottom Barrel in the flash Channel been a bit restricted . A few here a had them opened up .Great guns other than that and point well Cheers Love your work on older guns .Cheers
Had a chance to buy one of these last year for not a lot of money but I passed it up because somebody had replaced the front barrel band. Really wish I hadn't now
I may have a chance at one of these for about $300 usd. For that price or maybe slightly more I will pick it up for field use. Supposed to be in near mint condition....
I have shot a couple of these guns , there is a problem with the long flash hole to the bottom barrel , it gets blocked easily and can be noticeably slower than the top barrel . International muzzle loading clay shooting is a single shot affair , so the guys I know who shoot these competitively only shoot the top barrel . That may be because there can be a problem with double barreled muzzle loaders , the load in the unfired barrel can move forward with recoil with nasty consequences . Those Barrel bands can be a bit sharp as well . In saying that they are nice guns and quite unusual in the ML world , but not very well made , although I believe a few high grade ones were also made , and they come with all the kit needed to shoot them . I had the opportunity to buy a new in the box ,one a few years ago but passed on it . Pedersoli is owned by Beretta and make a range of nice muzzle loading single shots ( flint and cap) and English style doubles . I shoot matchlock , wheel lock and flintlock smooth bores and rifles and I cant be bothered with the new fangled caps
Own one and love it Awesome bird gun I can carry It all day Other Sportsman Have made many comments on how beautiful it is It's rough finish Makes it an excellent Conversation piece Other hunters are more than happy to have me join up just to watch me take a bird 💕 ( p.s. Need a couple of parts Who would I contact berretta ?? )
Another good vid, can you do a review of the beretta 686e? You’ve already reviewed the 686e evo which is slightly older and has extended chokes compared to the 686e which has flush Mobil chokes
No harm in refinishing or otherwise making it nicer. As for collectors value, it hasn't gotten anymore valuable in the last 40 years, so... Enjoy it for what it is, a plain repro
Should have made it themselves and it would have been a different animal. Then again, in 1980 beretta were not making the quality of guns they are now.
Great video, you're brave showing us the things you're interested in. However this is very specialist, especially when a shootable English gun is so available. Keep bringing us the weird stuff!
@@michealthibeault9998 Thanks for the answer, On mine the bands fit really tightly and I was affraid to force them to move. Is there any tricks to get them to slide ? Thanks again
@Anglo Saxon Sentinel really? Always found the very friendly and accommodating. Always been made to feel very welcome there. They do look at me as if I am a tad odd, but then, I am and so does everyone else.
@Anglo Saxon Sentinel always wanted curly hair, however I have a flat top so they would have to be really bad stories! lol Cant say I have ever stopped in the village to talk to anyone.
I live in Ohio and I have one of those Beretta's I got it off an old guy that hunted everything with it but mine looks a whole lot nicer than that 1 Fit and finish is perfect
Hello Jonny I hope you can help me I’m a big chap 6ft6 16stone and new to the shooting seen and I’m struggling to find some tweed breeks that are long enough any ideas
Very interesting. Having played with black powder muzzle loaders, they are very mucky. Shame it's not better finished but still, little off-season project to find a nice lump of timber for it ? :D
I have to say that gun is not up to today's Beretta standards, especially for a commemorative gun. Fit and finish look like something I'd expect from a Marlin .22 and I'm pretty certain that the Beretta would have cost a fair bit more than a Marlin .22. But that is not to say that you shouldn't have made a video of it. A monotonous diet of ABG videos (another best gun) that is handmade out of unobtanium with a price to match, gets very, very dull. Keep showing the interesting stuff!
The only advantages over an old gun are usability because of modern metallurgy and certainty of breech security. Otherwise, I'd definitely pass. Really ugly.
I used to have one of these! One of the guns I wish I still had.
Interesting! Would love to see you do some more black powder stuff.
Beautiful over and under 12 gauge black powder Muzzleloading shotgun. Thanks for sharing.
Go for it Jonny! Out bid everyone else, get the damn thing, and keep smiling on your next hunt. 😀
Not sure about outbid!
@@tgsoutdoors It’s a new year, what’s a thousand quid or so. 😝
I just bought a Silver Pigeon lll. Can’t afford it but it was my Xmas present 🎁 to me. Should be arriving at sports shop today or tomorrow. 👍😊

Great video what a beautiful gun !!!!
Gorgeous. And puts their new age wood to metal fit to shame.
Mass production has made workmanship go by the wayside

How much did it sell for?

Is the UK banning lead shot or something? I don't know a whole lot about shotguns but thought lead is usually used for older guns.
Could you do a video on buying rifles for beginners

hello, how do you disassemble it for cleaning ?
Slide the 2 bands forward take the 2 side pieces off and lift Is the barrels straight up ( I love shirt and mine )
@@michealthibeault9998 Thanks for the answer, On mine the bands fit really tightly and I was affraid to force them to move.

Not sure the reception you would get at spitfire shoot. Lol

Laksen plus 8’s are the best I have tried off the peg
@@tgsoutdoors thank you good sir
@TGS Outdoors Did you get it?
No 😞
@@tgsoutdoors Only sold for £442 + fees :(

Very very plain wood, a decent piece of walnut would transform that gun.

That foam box is so sad
Jonny just a thought can you do a review on the kofs 20g

No attempt at authenticity at all, and terrible finish. Just a grotesque pastiche!
