When I was in the game, you could order a 24 gauge Darne. They had tubes and actions, in the white, ready to go. Paul Bruchet himself advised me that if someone wanted to order one, to try, hard, to get him to order something else. He knew 24 gauge ammunition was pretty much non existent in North America, at the time, and told me, “People who do things like buying a gun they can’t get ammunition for will usually be more trouble than they are worth”.
Nobody ever asked. Had they, I would have tried, hard, to change their mind.
Best,
Ted
