It was a long time ago, but, Gary sold me a gun that was at a gunmakers shop in England, that he knew about. A very early steel barreled NacNaughton boxlock 12 NE, that had been vetted and reproofed for 2 3/4” ammunition. He had the stock bent left before he brought it here. It was a really nice old gun, and I used it a lot, back in the day, mostly for early season grouse and pheasants with light loads. I sold it when a regular at my club fell further in love with it than I ever had. It wasn’t terribly expensive, he didn’t get rich on me and everything was good, as far as I knew. If Gary had time, he would shoot the breeze for a half hour or so, when I called.
His offerings are a bit out of my wheelhouse, but, I was treated well.

Best,
Ted
