Description
HATSAN ESCORT 12G SEMI-AUTOMATIC SECTION ONE SHOTGUN.
Standard Black Synthetic Semi-Automatic 12g Hatsan Escort SECTION ONE / FAC / FIREARMS CERTIFICATE authorized Shotgun. 4 plus 1 capacity so you will NEED a Firearms Certificate with correct allocation to purchase. Equally, after-market magazine extension kits are also available to increase capacity to 9 plus 1 if required.
Also, Please Note: This is now offered in an earlier series stock. It makes ZERO difference to the gun. The serial number means it should have a contoured / concave shaped end with matching spacer pieces optional. The original WALNUT Woodwork also came in with this gun. Previous owner swapping them over for more practical use. The Walnut Stock and For-end will also be getting advertised. However, IF you prefer and they are still available it’s no major issue or cost to swap things over. The Walnut option IS the correct version for this later model gun too.

As for the Lead Sh-t ‘FIASCO’? READ ON:
FIRST THING: Given lead is SO dangerous, can we ask about getting every lead water main replaced? After all, ANYONE with one of those still supplying water has zero choice. LETS PUT THAT QUESTION TO HEALTH AND SAFETY EXECUTIVE AS WELL AS THE GOVERNMENT.
That is every child’s grazed knee washed out with lead infested water (direct into their blood stream. Every glass of juice. Every cup of tea or coffee, Vegetables washed and cooked in the stuff. ALL that DELICIOUS Gravy. Cloths washed in it. Then we bath in the sodding lead infested stuff!
HOW DO THEY DEFEND THIS FACT?
THEN THERE ARE more and more None Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern day shooting. IF its so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters how is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?
Anyway, take a look for yourself:

NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.
YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!
On that note I AM looking into the possibility of stocking some direct from Steve at Hortons. RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
