9mm garden gun

That was cheap

Yerr, not bad. Got them from countryman derby. Called for some more the other week but they’re out of stock atm. I have some fiocchi #6’s but prefer the rws #10’s as they pattern better.

Years ago the cartridges had a copper base and when you fired the paper case went up the barrel with the shot. I had a Webley and Scott bolt action one.
I killed my first deer with it, how I won't divulge apart from it requiring a cap, two loads of powder from cartridges down muzzle, bog roll and a 9mm lead ball.

used mine to do lambs for years,melted old lead weights in cotton reel centres, ricocheted a bit on concrete floor.

Many , many years ago, my dad got me one and i still have fond memories of it, used to use fishing ledgers, the round ones ,always rolled them down the barrel first !

Back in the 70s, there was a semi-auto model available with a box magazine. Andy Cochrane, who then had a shop in Wisbech, lent one to my late father to play with on his smallholding. Dad used his own 9mm (with home made mod) to shoot blackbirds etc. off his soft fruit ! I can't remember the make.

I found a couple of pictures with my garden gun from a few years back...
