    You just have to love Ant’s input. First he breaks the gun then suggests that melting it down and re forging and re making would be the only way to improve it. A really fun and entertaining video of a cheep old gun. TGS videos generally brighten my day, this hasn’t disappointed.

    I think you need to nickname Ant "Pigeon", since he sh!ts on everything you show up with.

    This gun had probably belonged to Mr. Esteban Azkue Larrañaga or Mr. Eladio Valduvi. Both national and international Trap and other clay shooting modalities. So the gun has its history on Spanish o/u short history gun making and professional sport shooting therefore there it is two good enough reasons to call it a bargain that can also be restored for a little and retain collector and shooter value. You ( TGS ) make really fun and comprehensive videos. Congratulations.

    I think it would make a great video if you did a restoration job on it. To see the difference from start to end and also to show people you can put life back in old guns with some history and character.

    Hi, I am from Spain, Madrid and I have to say that is a nice peace of Spanish shooting history and I absolutely love it, I wish you could see those for sale in Spain but you just don’t, I absolutely love that gun and the content, keep doing what you are doing

    The prices of used over/unders in the U.K. makes me rather envious. Not envious enough to trade my ability to run to the shop and buy almost anything short of full auto with a background check and enough funds and getting an elk license almost every year but still a little envious.

    I was stationed at RAF Chicksands from 90-93 and bought on for about the same price. Malcolm Jenkins (1976 British Olympic Trap Team) restocked it for me. Loved it for what it was and it shot great. Keep up the good work!

    As a left handed shooter I never had a left handed shotgun. Always shot right handed guns left handed. Still shooting my Grandpaw's Stevens slide by side .410 and have been for 45 years.

    For a £100 or $125, I'd say it's a great value. A great historical piece anyone can afford. I've seen firearms in worse shape go for more. I'm in the States, so you're hard pressed to find any firearms at that price.

    An other great video, just love watching them. I have an old Spanish Arazaka Olympic 12 gauge, it might be a trap gun, I'm not sure, but would love your view on it. It's absolutely in mint condition, but a bit to heavy for me. 👍

    I really like this gun. It's pretty without being over the top. You wouldn't get called "Little lord Fauntleroy" or something by your older family members or father-in-law for showing up hunting or throwing clays in a field getting ready for the season with this gun.

    My comment is on the quality of your guests on your shows. I could listen all day to Simon Rienhold talk to the history of SXS shotguns - a true intellectual. I am fascinated with Ed Solomon's ability to turn the theory of shooting lnto reality. What can you say about Ant. He provides the comic relief that keeps your show enjoyable. By the way what is Ant's real name?

    As an American who loves shotguns and shotgun history, I'm jealous of your access to Holts. Here in the U.S., we are too greedy to get reasonably priced guns at auction. I have recently purchased a Winchester and a Parker - Hale from Holts for around 200 Quid total...fantastic, but the shipping costs...ouch
