Gun Watch Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 William Sumners £2,000 8 gauge Shotgun Private Seller Used - Very Good Condition Warrington, Cheshire Hammer, -, -, 36" barrels Description William Sumners 8 gauge shotgun, English made (in Liverpool) in the late 1800’s, my reading suggests the gun was made in 1887. It is a rotary under leaver mechanism. When buying a gun of this age/calibre you should pay close attention to the condition of the barrel, and this one is in very good condition. The Damascus pattern is stunning, it’s free from dents/bulges etc, and it is around 35†in length. I’ve owned the gun for a couple of years and it’s had a couple of outings on the Pinks in Scotland during that time, she fires 2 1/2oz shot comfortably. I’ve got a host of loading equipment which will be included in the sale such as shot, powder, cases, wads, re-sizer and RTO tool. I may even have some cartridges loaded too which I will gift. £2000 (no offers) for this piece of history. It’s been a pleasure to own her! This gun is being sold by Pigeon Watch member Wildfowler12.

Wildfowler12 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) She really is 😍 Shame to part with her to be honest but I shoot the 10b better, and that’s much cheaper to load! There’s nothing like dropping a bird with a big bore though. Edited April 17, 2019 by Wildfowler12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
