Oldsarge,

I have hunted pigs for many years with what is sold in India as "LG" the old ball loading for large game in shotguns. Though I used a Stevens 12 bore smoothbore with more than good results, I know people who have used old Explora/Paradox rifled guns with considerable success and at longer than the 30metre max ranges I have used my gun. I have never heard of poor accuracy but if you shoot at longer distances, there might be problems beyond 70 metres, I think.

As a matter of fact the Explora/Paradox guns have accounted for ALL of India's game in the past and that shows the confidence that old hunters had in them. I am sure that this is a concept worth reviving and if Fabarm offered a proper Paradox gun, I would certainly buy one. To make things easier for us, I sent them a fax with a link to this discussion in a nudge, nudge, wink, wink sense - they do not have a mail for overseas enquiries for some reason. I hope that would help Mac NAughton convince them more easily.

Good hunting, and let's wait to hear from Mac Naughton.

I just wanted to add that the US made Paradox type rifled shotguns for the Indian market in the pre war years and I have seen a few Harrington and Richardsons with outside hammers and single (heavier than the smoothbores) barrels with the shallow rifling in India. My friend Louis Aruliah has one in Madras and I wonder if any of these were sold in the USA in the old days?
