Thread: .410 recomendations

Hey All

I'm sure it has been discussed before but after a couple of searches i can't find a thread.

Call me an optimist but i am expecting to get some sort of bird season this year, my 7 yr old got his first couple of ducks last year using his great Grandads .410 a single barreled hammer, brand unknown (cool wee gun took a couple myself also)

As the season went on the firing pin became unreliable as did the hammer cocking slightly, to the point where i am no longer willing to trust it, we are always going to keep the gun for sentimentals maybe to be refurbed properly down the track.

Any how looking to replace for this year and looking for recommendations for a junior bird gun, have previously looked at the optimas but a guy in store was hinting towards them being more suited to the pig fraternity.

Have currently settled on a Yildiz TK36 410G S/B Shotgun with the 24" youth barrel for around $350 which is also the very extent of the budget.

Any other recommendations or advice much appreciated.
