Paul, that little Huglu looks a lot of fun. I love my 410 as well - just wish the bores weren't so pitted as alwys embarrassing when somebody looks down them, also the 2 1/2 inch cartridges (only 2 1/2 chamber) tend to stick a bit, so on clays just use the little 2 inch cartridges. On the high tower at the local clay ground - Cluny Clays - am hitting 50% plus, and on game its either a hit and dead or a clean miss.
Can any body though tell me why modern manufactures who use mono blocks insist on putting a band of engraving around the barrels / monoblock joint - IMHO it looks horrible. Even tope end guns have this. With modern tig welding it should be easy to join the barrels with an invisible joint, as they do when sleeving barrels on an old gun.
Sorry to move off thread. Really interesting on the efforts to get the Drilling shooting - just wish had the time and workshop to do so. Sounds a lot of fun.
