Finally remembered to get photos of my two shotguns I got for cheap a few months ago.
First is a Webley and Scott and the second is a Baikal. Both 12 gauge, both likely to break your shoulder. Good fun.
I think I will restore the Webley one day. The wood is in good condition but dull and the bluing is stuffed.
Does the webley have an internal hammer?
No, has to be manually cocked. It is hard to see as it is sort of flush with the rear of the action. A bit hard to describe. I’ll get a clearer photo when I’m back in Ballarat.
I love coach guns but do not own one as yet. Love the external side hammers.

An excellent find Nomis, well done. Love it.

Nice one Bentaz, good find.

Nice like the greener! Im looking at one atm!
My old shotty is nothing flash, but I do love him.
Walked into Kmart in 1981, put down a pineapple and walked out into the Saturday morning crowd with the Sportco, a box of OOs and change and nobody batted an eye.
I’m getting a bit pussfied in my dottage, didn’t like the price of store-bought recoil pads so I bought some $2 thongs and did some customisation.
Imagine the hoards of people being rushed to hospital with hurt feelings if you could do that these days.
Christ there wouldn’t be a dry seat in parliament house
I had one of those Webley n Scott’s! I walked to school with it, when we had school competitions, no joke! Try that nowadays…
Hi mate have you tried solid slugs in your greener? If so what mold etc??? Acurate?
Yeah mate.
I shoot Lee Keydrive 7/8oz and the lyman style 525gn giant sluggun pellets.
It points great for me too. Busting clays or bunnys its usually my go to gun.
I’ve been trying to get one of these… Harder to get here than a Benelli M4, but i’ve managed to get a couple on their way 
So unsurprisingly to anyone I got an old single barrel shotgun.
An Iver Johnson Champion, made by Cooey in Canada in 1932 or 33. Iver Johnson had Cooey make these to dodge tariffs on exporting them from the US to the land of ‘Sorry Aye!’ and then further on to other Commonwealth countries.
This one had an issue where the top lever that opens the action would spring all the way over to the left almost 90° past where it should rest along the top of the wrist, this also caused the internal parts to block the hammer so that it wouldn’t cock. I did some research, watched a couple of YouTube vids and pulled it completely to bits and then put it back together just to make sure I could.
Then I stripped it again to Tweek the transfer bar and hopefully fix it. Well fuck me, adjustment to the transfer bar was simple, but then I’ve spent the next 3 days resisting the urge to throw it through a window. It was so simple the first time, but it took me 600 trys to get the hammer aligned and the pin back in this time. There’s no interference from the transfer bar, I just must of fluked it the first time. You need to push the hammer back against the main spring to line it up and get the pin in, in the end I made a tapered pin, got that in there and then drifted that one out the other side with the correct pin.
But she’s done and functional again now. I’ll take it and test fire at the pistol club tomorrow.
