Zapp Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 What a stunner. This needs to go to a Scottish fowler who can make the most of it with 3" lead cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buze Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) This is very likely a live pigeon gun, I've got one very, very similar to this; P-O-S stock, greener 'third bite', the 'ears' as well as the strong construction. I can't see it, but it very likely has a raised rib too. It also seems to have a pull lever forend (not a pull, or a push rod), which is very unusual and seems to be common on live pigeon guns. These are awesome guns, they were VERY posh at the time, the construction is outstanding on mine (and this one looks like a clone!), and move like much more modern over-unders, I found... You certainly have some awesome stocks at the minute! Edited December 5, 2017 by buze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncher Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Have the chokes been taken out as I would of thought that a wildfowling piece would have tight chokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there’s no way you’d get one through modern 3 inch proof without opening them up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
