What to look for in a second hand side by side

[@andrewlambert4934]

I own 3 side by sides, all spanish. All cost me £60 each, and I love them all.

[@alexpapathomas6814]

Yes Spanish guns are brilliant!

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

Thank you for watching.

[@bumblesquatt]

You had me at buy a side by side

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

Thank you and I am glad you like the Channel.

[@BradinManheim]

Thirty years ago I bought a 12 gauge SxS Spanish gun by Francisca Anitua. It has a plain grade of wood, but nicely hand checkered. Auto safety, still great condition. Paid $150.

[@MegaRiffraff]

I have 4 sxs all 12 bore , 1 American, 2 German and 1 English, love em all !

[@johannesswillery7855]

Nice looking piece. Looks like the wood has been properly re-done. My main concern is always how tightly the gun locks up and the condition of triggers and safety.

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

Thank you.

[@Bunduki]

I owned an old lovely, made in England W&S , it was a lot of fun to shoot & in great condition for it's years , wish l hadn't sold it .

[@ronwilson3414]

Thanks for taking the time and do this video on side by sides. There just something about shooting them!!!

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

Thank you and I am glad you enjoyed the film.

[@alexpapathomas6814]

It’s funny how they’ve become so popular over lockdown. Since I’ve pulled out my old Bernardelli for a few clay days. I love that gun.

[@keithhaynes8079]

Thank you again David.

[@tanishkhan4542]

SIR PLEASE, SHOOT MORE VIDEOS REGARDING THIS BEAUTIFUL WEBLEY AND SCOTT.

[@davidhaddon2854]

Good time to buy them now due to probability of steel shot only law , i know gun shops that will not touch them now because the re sale value has dropped. I would not put steel through my best English boxlock,as mostly fibre wad regulations on shoots here, steel on steel ask any engineer, All the best David.

[@allandobbs7059]

Miroku ejector picked up for a song at auction!👌

[@darrentaylor6172]

I have the Webley 700 s/s like this and I love it, tight on the face, original colour hardening, nice chequering, very light shoots lovely for the £895 I paid, Really shoots like a best gun, also have a AYA s/s yeoman bit heavier, and rattles when you shake it, shoots well but the quality is just not there, but ok. My verdict.....Birmingham England Webley all the way.

[@charlesholder8009]

A lovely gun for not a lot of money. Your Baikal is probably more in my price range but it is nice to dream.

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

Thank you.

[@dubmacca]

I have taken your advice and just bought a 1955 AYA No 3. The gun is in great condition and i am delighted with it.

[@pim1234]

Just bought a 1971 No 3 !

[@kuldipjamwal6078]

Very nice finishing, shape & reasonablility in prices of these guns. No any alternate of w/s, s/s 12 bore shot guns of such model. I likes it/these very much. My dealers did not provided me this gun. So I am holding Cogswell & Harrisson London, the cosmos/paradox 27.5" 12 bore s/s shot gun. That is also a unique model. However such model of w/s is a pricious diamond having no it's subsitude/alternate of it. Import of such guns be re-opened from UK/Turkey by the Indian Govt. Thank u Mr David. Kuldip. Jamwal. Indian Army, EME(Retd)

[@nikitamckeever5403]

Thanks for download . I just got a Spanish Essex 12g with 1/4 and 1/2 chokes . Yes it’s got marks but is tight and barrels are clean and I’m going to shoot the hell out of it . Cost £45 . If I like it which I’m sure I will I may invest in a better quality gun but I’m still going to shoot it . I don’t see the point in it sitting in a cabinet looking all nice . They are made for shooting and that’s what I’m going to do . Clays or game if I’m lucky . It’s all good 😌

[@michaelbellwood2349]

Thanks for your review Off this gun I did enjoy it did see your review On a 410 u/O I just got a boito u/O 410

[@adriansams6066]

I'm fairly new to this channel and it's the best one for giving good,honest advice. No Fluff and Bull just good ,honest advice... An old friend of mine was giving up his certificate and wanted me to buy his 1985 626e Beretta sbs and 686 special O/u (both 20 bore) off him and wanted £650 for the pair. I have no idea what they are worth and not really interested , it's the fact that my mate owned them for years and wanted me to have them that matters more .. Thanks TSC.. Adrian..

[@1947Keef]

Hi David, what would you expect to pay for something like that lovely W&S you just showed us? Thank you.

[@tomrubino4895]

I have a aya side by side and use it for trap shooting . The gun was made in 1953 i do not now what model it is but I would not trade it .

[@swishswish386]

[@paulprosser4108]

Very nice example of a Webley and Scott.

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

Thank you.

[@kerm9807]

Another great video Bud

[@nathanruben-tv5lf]

How long is that? 28 or 26 inch?

[@scottcroix8223]

How old does a shotgun be before you should switch from using any standard off the shelf load to an antique lighter load?

[@CINsyg]

What a beautiful gun

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

thank you

[@andrewtucker8441]

Interesting vid'. Thanks👍 I recently purchased my first side by side, a double trigger boxlock by T Page Wood of Bristol. What cartridge loads are recommended/safe?

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

Been shooting sxs for 40 years. Have a few English guns

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

Thank you and I am glad you enjoy the Channel.

[@peterkaparis8911]

Thank you David for a great video I really love your videos regarding side by side shotguns does that webley have a game rib and what are the chamber lengths also alot of people dislike the webley 700s because they have a solid hinge pin I don't see that as a problem. What are your thoughts? Thanks once again keep up the good work.

[@iantunnicliffe4509]

Really good video again 👍

[@Nemesis007]

Good investment may be, but what price is your W&S SxS?

[@Nemesis007]

So what year and model is that Webley & Scott SxS shotgun you have just demonstrated?

[@michaelyoung4104]

steel shot , old side by side . how do they fit together ?

[@paulnewnam1840]

What about steel shot issue? I have a Westley Richards detachable lock single trigger gold name, sleeved unfortunately with case. Thought it's not going to be worth much due to the possible ban on lead. What's your thoughts please . Kind regards

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

Thank you for your Question and we do have a plan for this if you give Doug a call he would be more then happy to discus this with you 01844 238 308.

[@veritas4699]

I am looking to buy and use a side by side, live in America and have handled a CSMC (Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Co) SS 28 bore. What are your thoughts on this gun and the company? The gun will be used for sporting clays sports bird hunting and even trap.

[@nissan300bhp]

Brought a 1978 aya no3, its a 3" magnum. Just wondering being a 3" magnum whats the best gram cartridge to use, says 1200 on the barrels

[@nissan300bhp]

hi, so whats included in a service on an old say AYA no3

[@joaovieiraoutdoorfilms7955]

I inherited my grandad's side by side shotgun. Glad I did because it is one of the nicest guns I've ever shot. It is a Manufrance Robust model 222 from 1963.

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

nice

[@BradinManheim]

I must add that I don’t care a whit about the tradition of the SxS. There is a reason they were so popular years ago. The two barrel sighting plan is like a V shaped road pointing right at the flying bird, naturally aligning the eye. The single sighting plane argument is just marketing hype. The SxS is the fastest shotgun you can handle for upland hunting. My 12 gauge weighs in at 6.54 lb. So it is a delight to carry over hill and dale. Sure, in the goose blind I shoot a semi in camo, but there is no beauty to it.

[@ibelieve1468]

My first shot of a 12bore was 40yrs ago with a single barrel Webley&Scot. What price would tha t W&S or similar side by side go fo?

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

This gun was up for £1,500 if you would like more information please call Doug on 01844 238 308.

[@heatherdoel3466]

Great advice. Tried really hard yesterday but I am very battered and bruised today on cheek, shoulder and inside upper arm.

[@bobbywhelan8132]

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

They are a good little gun made to a price have a look at the No 4 or No 2 you can pick them up for a good price give David or Doug a call if you are looking for something 01844 238 308 they will help you with this.

[@janesmith1055]

side by side like sport cars have to be english not two ways about it but spanish side by side come close some maybe better ARRIETA GRULLA ect to mi opinion are in par to HOLLAND AND HOLLAND I own many shot guns o/u and s/s mi favourite one is a W.R.LEESON round action superb engraving and checkering hammer 12 g

[@daviddawson4750]

What happens when you have to use none lead shot

[@Byron69-h2v]

Buy one with barrel measurements above 23. Thousand and if you don’t want to bore it out buy a quarter half gun, standard steel will be fine

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

Thank you for this Question if you give Doug a call on 01844 238 308 he does have a plan for this and would be more then happy to help you out.
