Old Boggy Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 What a lovely gun. Straighthand stock with beautiful figuring along with double triggers. What’s not to love. You’ll enjoy that Dave. Anyone got the same in 16 bore? Come on Gary, what have you got? Showing my ignorance here, but what is a superposed horn butt plate.

It is a very nice gun to shoot. Even to a SxS diehard like me it feels like a proper game gun. Enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arielvb Posted July 28 Author Report Share Posted July 28 Sorry don’t have a 16 bore ! Wish I had . Superposed is the logo on the back of the butt plate , refers to one barrel over the other . Early Browning reference . The butt plate is the original ,which is made from buffalo horn I believe . Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
