Please look under the word home on the Lewis Drake Web site and see if something other than 9/28/2016 comes up. Perhaps my computer has found a worm hole to the past. If so will trade computer for a rising bite O/U.

I recently talked to the owner of a Parker which he had consigned to one of the premier gun sites. I asked him if he would entertain an offer. He said "of course, but go thru the dealer".
When I asked the dealer if he would entertain an offer, he said "The gun has been sold for full price". Good for my friend, I thought. That was a month ago. The site has been updated, and the gun is still listed.

JLB, I have your rising bite O/U for you, it's in the mail! Tudurgs, I hope your friend has gotten his money. I consigned a gun to a dealer once and it disappeared from gunsinternational in January, but it was not until I chased the dealer down in April that I got my check!

Follow up on this gun: I saw the gun in the flesh at the Southern. It was actually nicer in hand than on the website. I planned to inquire about its provenance, however Mr. Schwandt was busy with customers and I didn’t want to disturb him when I arrived at his stand. I did, however, notice a small sign in the case “Gun Show Special $49,900.”

Looked at the gunbook notes on, I believe, the Drake site, and noted that they list the original barrels as 2-5/8" chambers whereas the advertising copy has them at 2-3/4". Something for a potential buyer to double check....

When I go to the Lewis Drake web site it indicates that it has not been updated (for shotguns) since September of 2016. Are they still an active company or ?????
jlb You must have found an old website. I googled them and found a current listing. Most of the guns are marked SOLD so maybe they aren't' as active as they once were.

In the past I have seen up to 3 dealers advertising the same gun so it does happen.
However if I was seriously interested in a gun that was for sale this is the last place I would mention it. Great way to get it bought from under you.

I saw a pair of Atkins listed twice a few weeks ago. Both on reputable dealers sites.
