What the original caliber/gauge? 8 or 10 and now the barrels are 12? 3. Have you tried the gun and are the primer strikes centered on the primer? 4. Did it start life as an H&H BP double rifle and have other barrels fitted? At least a start Mike p.s. http://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-fo...un_id=100852865 Last edited by skeettx; 08/06/17 01:15 PM. USAF RET 1971-95

Made me also thing that it might have been rebarreled with old barrels. I see the one on GI also has that mismatch height so could have come that way.

I have never been able to determine why. Possibly just the fashion of the day. I never cared much for the look myself. All the ones I have seen were early guns, relatively soon after breechloaders became the norm. http://www.bertramandco.com/ Booking African hunts, firearms import services Here for the meltdowns
