Mistral Shotgun
By: NIsureshot Date: January 26, 2016, 7:43 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Has anyone heard or used one of these ? Just on with my firearms
dealer who has a 2nd had one.
I have not seen it yet myself but described as good order for
its age ( I don't know how old it is). As far as know its a
Mistral ( Spanish he thinks ) 12 g non ejector , think it may be
side by side but not sure.
Thanks

Never used a Mistral, so can't comment on them. However, what I
would advise is to be careful what you buy. Some dealers have a
collection of old and cheap shotguns in the back that aren't
really fit for much more use, and if you show up without knowing
a thing or two about shotguns, you could find yourself leaving
with a lemon. Do you want a side by side? Or are you just
looking for a shotgun in general?

I think an over and under. A work horse like a Baikal would do
me to get back into the way if things.
I am after something to get going into the wild fowling side if
things. I am sure there are even guns going to be handed in for
destruction in the near future.
I have just git my. 22 lr and would hate to tell the wife I am
niw spelling out another lump of money. Lol

Lanber O/U shotguns are spot on. I owned a Baikal SBS for a
while and really wish I hadn't sold it. As for ejectors, you'd
be better off with a non-ejector set up for wildfowling. Some
shotguns are sold and supplied as ejectors, but can be made into
non-ejectors with the turn of a screw. Really handy feature to
have, and some Baikals come this way.

get it back.

Hopefully it doesn't take too long to arrive. Was your variation
still £26?

Yes it will be, anyhow that's what I put on the cheque.
!!!!!!!!!!!! I think at the end of the month, that being
February is when it goes up. I happened to be at the
RFD(Loughview Guns) saw it and thought I may as well just get a
cheapish DBBL gun that works and get it hopefully put onto the
certificate. Its serviceable and shoots and will do until I want
or see something else. For the amount of use it will get I am
sure it will do quite a while.
I am going to try a few pigeons as my father-in-law and my wife
enjoy eating them. The bunnies will get a pop too if I can find
some in the cold weather, again my in-laws and wife love them.
