Hello from India,

I have a .450/400 3" double A. Hollis & Son London and I wish to fit Trijicon rmr or any sight similar to rmr.
The issue is that there is no such provision to fit any mount or rail on the rifle . Please help me with your expert suggestions.

Cheers,

S...

Hello
Welcome on your first posting
Any modification to the Hollis will cause its current value
to drop considerably.
That being said, if you still insist on the modification, the rib
will have to be drilled and tapped and a special base machined.

Again, welcome
Mike

p.s.

Perhaps this would be a start

Thank you Mike for the above suggestions.
I would not have thought of doing the modification, but both barrels shoot about 7"- 8" high.
In past years there was no use of my double except shooting on paper targets, but now hunting Blue bull and wild boar is opened in one of the states in my country.
This is the only time when I can actually enjoy the performance of my British Beauty.

Cheers,

Sudesh:

If the issue is only the point of impact, you could install a taller front sight to move the point of impact lower. There's a formula for how much taller the front sight needs to be, although I cannot remember it. I'm sure someone more mathematically inclined than I will post it in due course.

If the problem is that your eyesight will no longer allow you to use the standard iron sights on your rifle, well, welcome to the club. Getting old is no fun, but it does beat the alternative.

Another option would be a custom built base for your reflex sight which fits in to the dovetail from the original sight. Costly and not always possible depending upon geometry but worth considering.

Beautiful rifle !!
Wonderful flip up bead front sight ,
A taller front insert should be able to be made.
Is the front sight blade pinned in?
Good luck
Mike

P.S. any ammo with a smaller bullet weight should shoot lower

Very nice rifle Sudesh. I use a "SeeAll" optical sight on my 12ga/.43 Mauser combination gun:

If you are willing to attach a strip of Picnatinney rail to you're top rib, you can mount any sight you wish on your rifle. It won't look good though.JMHO...Geo

Thanks Mike.
I am attaching close up pics of sight and more. Sorry for poor image quality.

In regard with ammo! The only available ammunition in India is Kynoch 400 grn. and that too 30-40 years old. I have no other choice than buying those ammo and re-prime it.
I had tried and failed to procure unprimed Hornady cases and bullet heads as I did not find any website which would ship to India.

Thanks Geo for the suggestion, but picnatinny rail won't look good on a double rifle.
Me too have a combination drilling 12ga - 12ga- 6.5x52r Side lock hammer, 26" barrel Simson Suhl.

Cheers,
