Wildfuzz Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I decided to tidy up the little .410 that I keep on the ATV when feeding the shoot, over forty years old and was looking a little tired. So applied some Lictenberg fractals with my new gizmo from the states, she is now know as "Little Lightening" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretzky Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 A bolt action .410. What is it? never seen a .410 with a bolt. Nice work though on the stock. Google tells me it could be a Webley and Scott? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfuzz Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yes a Webley and scott, an old lady but still very reliable and easy to use when out and about for rats and other small vermin. Only takes 2 or 2 1/2 shells but plenty for what I need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Do your resin trick with that and rub it back and it would look cracking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Webley and Scott also made a bolt action .410 with a magazine like a rifle so it was possible to be a 3 shot. They also used the same action modified for rim fire in their 9mm, 3 bore garden gun. Anshutz were the other big makers of 9mm shotguns very useful for ratting and inside barns as they would not cause structural damage. The vast majority of 9mm shotguns were consigned to be scrapped because their barrels were mostly less than 24" and hence became unable to be licenced as a shotgun and were subject to FAC.

ChrisB Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Here is a Webley and Scott "Sportsman" it is also the only bolt action .410 that they made chambered for 3" shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I have a bolt action:410. Hardly use it nowadays. I would quite like a:410 o/u a/e at some stage. And a12g 3 x barrel too. Want want want Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 The pull and twist "Safety" of the bolt action is the only one I have any faith in. Most safety catches stop the trigger being pulled! That is no guarantee that the gun will not discharge if banged or dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you be carrying a loaded gun in any place, you could bang or drop it in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I have seen a gun drop a gun at his peg until which time he was holding it closed but safe with the barrels skywards, I have also seen a gun bashed into the cage on a shooting ground that did discharge. However the cage did keep the shot forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See above. You can never assume a gun is safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regulo Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I always assumed all guns were unsafe, as they're designed for killing things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 That depends on which end of the gun you're at Griff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
