Very exciting news from Paul Stevens whom we know as Barrel Browner. He now owns John Manton and Son Gunmakers Ltd and his group is currently building two demonstration guns; a Boss style 20 bore sidelock ejector 2 barrel set with one steel and one damascus, and a 12 bore Holland style Royal Deluxe self opener. Barrels are by Peter Higgins, action work by Gary Hibbert and Richard Barnes, with Chiltern locks. Luke Bromley is doing the stocking.
There is not yet a website but the Facebook page has lots of images of the guns in progress

Please address any question to him on this thread.
