Old Brummie adage . A good box lock is better than a cheap sidelock ".
Educate me a bit, Mr. Englishman- what is a "Brummie" in your parlance. To me, being a member of the Mauser, Jan C. Still Luger and other Teutonic oriented gruppen-- it is slang for the C96 "Broomhandle" Mauser selbstlauter pistolen- auto- (self) loading pistol. If I had the Queen's fortune at my disposal, and could purchase any 12 bore ejector side-by-sdie game guns (why not a matched pair, ey wot?) they would be pre-War Boss- after that, Woodward, Churchill, Land and Powell. But I don't, so I shoot 12 bore LC Smiths- close enough, and the many birds that fall to them over a year's shooting (barn pigeons, crows, starlings, pheasants) don't seem to notice very much. Cheerio!!!
