jma Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I have a Ward&Sons SBS hammer gun. I picked it up for very little, from a work mates father in law. It was a bit of an impulse buy because he was going to get it destroyed otherwise. He maintained he used to shoot it, but i was not too sure. The bores not in the best of nick and tbh i have never fired it. I should really get it checked out to see if its safe. It could probably do with a bit of refurbishment to the hammers, but the woodwork is really nice. http://john7692.fotopic.net/c1801623.html regards jma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I dont have any but cut my shooting teeth on them 45 years ago. A Harrington & Richardson 30" full choke single, nothing under 55yards was safe but it is the most vicously recoiling weapon I have ever used. The top lever used to cut teh inside of my thumb open but what power, I had 11 pigeons with it one day with one shot, lined them up down the field and let drive, 2 more hard hit flew off. My brothers own it now, you still need to take a 6 inch nail to drop down the barrel to get a fired case out. One of my brothers had a fox with it last year on their lawn nicking the cat food. A Midland Gun Co 30" double was my dads gun I used a bit, both full as well. he swopped that for an AYA Yeoman that I still have when he got into a bit of driven stuff.

devilishdave Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I had a Krupp 16 Bore Hammer bun it was great fun but I wasn't using it enough so got rid. I took it for 50 sporting clays and I was only 3 or 4 behind what I get with my trusty over and Under. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orka Akinse Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Always wanted one but ownership has always been just one step away. Would also love to be a proud owner of a .410 SBS why.... just because I think the are the dogs Kahoonas and when I first saw a mates it was love at first sight for me.

Bob Valdez Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Now this is quick with any gun but even more difficult with a hammer gun. http://www.jspublications.net/records/BudSxSMule321.wmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streeker59 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I used to have a Beretta Hammer 12 bore side by side. It looked beautiful but it was a cruel mistress. The recoil was so painfull you'd wish a bird wouldn't appear and the trigger guard would cut my forefinger if i didn't wear gloves.. I've never been much of a shotgun hunter and it never occured to me that the design was never really meant to handle 32 gram carts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I've never been much of a shotgun hunter and it never occured to me that the design was never really meant to handle 32 gram carts.... I have an AYA number 2 that I use occasionally, 28gr Eley Impax is enough cartridge in it, 30gr GP is uncomfortable and 30gr Gamebore bloody painfull. Mate of mine has been using a 627EELL Beretta SBS most of the season, his normal cartridges are Gamebore Black Gold 32grs, bet they hurts !! but he does not miss much with it though.
