Exactly! Enjoyed it, thanks for sharing.

He definitely has enthusiasm. He was working the actions on those guns open and close, open and close. He just likes the way they work. So do I. He would be a fun person to shoot with some day.

But he missed the simplest explanation. Side by sides just make you shoot and look your best on the firing line or the field.

Interesting video but he left out modern SXS designs that offer ease of maintenance and superior strength compared to those old ones he plays with.

Beretta 626, Fabarm Classis, Chapuis, come to mind.

I�ve been watching TGS for a while now. It�s a change of pace from much of what we see in America. The different perspective is entertaining, but I may not always be interested in some of the content. It is also good to see young people investing themselves in our sport. They tinker with stuff, much the same as I might, and seem sensible in their approach to matters.

Shotgunlover. I think that you may have missed the point about what he was saying, guns as old as your grandfather, hand engraving etc, he was talking about vintage side by side's you could purchase at very little money. Not one of the modern CNC made Laser engraved mass produced offerings of today. Anyway the jury will still be out on todays product for at least a hundred years, IMHO a thing of easy maintenance and superior strength does not automatically make a thing of classic beauty especially when a hundred years of water have flowed under the bridge.



This one has had a hundred fifty years of water under its bridge.

You pull this one hundred and fifty year old product of the gun trade out of a gun slip at a shoot, no one is interested in how you shoot only the gun as he says and for an oldy like me very useful when it comes to the how well did you do type conversations at the end of the shoot.
He did also say with an older side by side you miss in style, I do a lot of that now so the gun is a good distraction.

Amen Damascus, especially if it has Damascus barrels. There's nothing like a good working old tool, and that they are. At first before reading the thread, I thought it was about owning 10ga SxSs. Which ain't bad either. I own three of them.

The question I wanted answered is how I justify 10 shotguns

Nitrah,
That's easy, 10 different usage applications!
