oldypigeonpopper Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 hello, never heard of any 3 inch chambered churchill rib short barrel side by sides, 2 3/4 / 70 mm, you might find with a flat rib, a Winchester model 23 looks similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshAndy Posted January 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Doesn’t need to be short barrelled he prefers a sbs with a rib. if none are available he’ll have to rethink. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 He might strike lucky with a duck or live pigeon gun. They where made as I have a 30” Charles Lancaster with original 3” chambers and flat file cut rib, almost certainly a second set for the gun. Trouble is live pigeon guns were quite popular and became expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks hello, ok but i thought you put a Churchill rib like the XXVs, most were from 25 to 26 inch, if he wants a 3inch chamber side by side there are quite a few makes these can be found, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 There’s a fair few AYA boxlock and sidelock guns on Guntrader with Churchill rib, most within your price, the only problem they are all 2.3/4” chambered and barrel lengths from 25” to 28” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd wonder how much it would cost if new today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a concave game rib and balances well ,I’ll have to weigh it but guess it’s around 7lb and a few ounces but might be a bit more and just balances well On a thread on the guns and accessories section Gunman reckoned they were made by Cogswell and Harrison ,I mistakenly thought they were made by Webley. I’m going to check the proof marks when I weigh it to see if they are London proof marks. I sent off to the firm and they told me it was made in 1956. I put up some pictures of it on the thread mentioned ,it was the one about the Chubb engraved Webley a few days back. I’m following your quest for a clay pigeon over and under with interest. I looked a while back and ended up with a Miroku MK60 grade V mainly as it was a bit lighter and I intended to shoot more game than clays but I was very impressed with a Perazzi MX4C. It felt like the difference between a vw golf and an Audi just solid and balanced perfectly. sorry for straying off topic Edited January 14, 2020 by Konor Clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
