...but it doesn't have to remain a mistake forever.

Years ago I owned a set of BSS's including a 20 gauge Sidelock.
I foolishly sold it to help finance the purchase of a very nice sub gauge Model 21.
I've regretted it ever since...





...until UPS stopped by this morning.,





1987 20 gauge, 26" Mod/IC.
1 1/2 x 2 1/4 x 14 1/4 to Makers checkered Butt.
6 pounds 1 ounce, Unfired.

Nice. A friend of mine who has passed on owned every style of BSS that they made. Not only that but he had extra stocks made to the dimensions of his God son who would inherit them.

I meant to say every style of BSS side lock made.

Bob, they're great guns. I love my BSS Sidelock 12ga. I guess you've read the James Flynn article on them. It used to be located on this site. I have it saved if you'd like to see it...Geo

No exhibition wood here.
In fact, I showed it to some Amish guys at the gun club and they paid me the highest of Amish compliments.
Fella said,"That's some mighty PLAIN wood brother". wink

Please show the Flynn article.
