Finally got the SKB 500 to our local Sporting Clays ground. It does go “Bang, Bang”. Although when I am standing behind it, “Bang, Bang, B****r!”, as I once saw embroidered round the tops of a pair of shooting stockings, is doubtless more appropriate.
It is just on 90 degrees F today, which gave me an additional excuse (although I sure many of you gentlemen would regard that as pleasantly mild) to add to my usual list.
The gun behaved perfectly. The Birmingham proof date stamp “W2B” shows it was imported in 1971, so has had half a Century of use.
