Most probably built by a good Birmingham gunmaker and badged by Mountstephen 36" damascus barrels, 3 1/4" chambers and shoots 2 1/4 oz ITM Are you still doing tickets for sunk island? Yes but these geese did not come from there. They weighed in at 4 lb 6 oz and 8 lb 10 oz, I'll let you guess which was which! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniel Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Very well done, got your 1st under your belt for this season and by looking at that link, you may just add to this. Any chance you could push some of those my way Thats a lovely gun, how heavy is that compared to a 12G...
