Treblig, I have got to agree with you there. I got the vintage Purdey, a hammer gun made in 1869, and I got the vitage Coggie, a boxlock ejector made in 1892 - the Boss still eludes me. I hadn't got anything French and I didn't own an O/U. I don't know how long I will keep this one for. I just thought 'what the heck' and went for it. It will all depend on how it shoots.
Mike, do you know what the choke tube markings 'L' and 'LA' mean? I don't suppose that you still have the manual? To remove the barrels do I remove the choke tubes, unscrew the knurled nut on the bit near the muzzle that divides the barrels and then unscrew them from the receiver? Not had chance to play with it yet. Can you tell me any more about them, such as when they were made? Any information would be useful at this stage. Thanks. Lagopus.....
