    Good photos are needed! Generally old shotguns are worth bugger all unless they are in very good condition or by a top-end maker. Sadly, most old shotguns in NZ have had a hard life from uncaring...

    I enjoyed watching the M17 and BAR videos. Quite interesting despite the incorrect subtitles being put in for some of the operations. You can imagine the size of those plants where they had multiples...

    Cordite liked post by gundoc On thread : Shaved cordite
    Note that it was a 'compressed pellet' (ie: one solid shaped pellet of powder). It would have been formed in a press in a blast protected building with brass or wood dies to avoid sparks. The...
