Just saw your reply I will find out and ask him. I believe he's had it since the early 1980's?
Thanks, someone asked how the Feg's compare to the older Baikals. I own a newer Baikal O/U and have shot a few older ones and find they compare very favorably. They feel as solid as a Baikal without feeling overbuilt. All the metal to metal connections are very tight, in 30 years the action still locks up very solidly, the ejectors have never failed. As a gunsmith friend of mine said these are very well made working man's shotgun, nothing fancy but solid.
Reviving necrothread with necroguns of bygone era.
I'm ashamed to say I got this with idea to make a coachgun. But I just can't. It is called Model 29 because it was designed in 1929. This one was made in 1966 in Communist Hungary and still all original. It is not a work of art, but it's a honest workhorse, top of the cream for export. Still tight lockup, with ejectors, cocking indicators, original buttplate. Interesting that ejectors will eject only spent shell(s), i.e. if hammer is cocked then corresponding shell is not ejected. Stock has cast off, very unusual for me, coming from milsurplus. How can I cut it? It's undamaged part of the history. A "collector" in me has won and it stays the way it was made. I'll have to find either modern one, or damaged or already mutilated to fill the coachgun role.

I have a SxS ‘Monte Carlo’. Interesting feature is a removable device under the fore stock that changes ejection to extraction only. Other than that, it is horrible to shoot. The trigger guard always gives me a bloody finger after a round of clays. Maybe it’s better suited for hunting.
Missed that. Thanks for pointing it out.
