Joshcup11 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 now that looks very handy,just the thing for making withdrawals Your right on that one! Very fun for just throwing up a few clays by hand! It was more sentimental value really. Had some astounding offers though! But nothing can put a price on sentimentality!

Cranfield Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 My Grandfather was a shepherd and had a double barreled .410 pistol, it looked very similar to that and it was called a Tuckaway. It was supplied by one of his employers and I think it was eventually returned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshcup11 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think it lived in the toolkit of a massey furgeson for a few years,scaring seaguls off when they were following the driller! its a hell of a lot of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I remember seeing one years ago and it was just the same as a Belgian hammer folding 410 sbs that had been sawn off and the stock cut down to the pistol grip. I never saw it fire but I should imagine that it would have had a fair old muzzle blast with such short barrels and flash also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshcup11 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 This one has very little if any flash at all! Before he died he used to use it as a prop to help himself up the stairs. He kept it at the side of his bed with two carts next to it,my younger cousin of about 3 asked him why he did this and his reply was ''Theres no fight left in me,if anyone breaks in this will slow them down abit'' Obviously she didnt know what it meant,but it was his sort of quote! A cracking gun though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEADLY PLUMBER Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I saw one and fired 2" carts through it years ago when I was a young lad. I think that one was a single barrel. I have not seen one since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice One might suspect about equal or more than .410 adapters, Rabbit at 20 yards should be within its scope depending on shell of choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
