Double guns have been a niche item since about the Second World War. My Dad saw the Garand replacing the 1903A3 as the way forward, and extended it to his sporting arms, using an A5 for most of his adult life. He bought an O/U with a reenlistment bonus in 1964, but, I don’t know why, he seldom used it. Most of the Fathers in my neighborhood had been in the military, and most either had or wanted an A5.
If I’m not hunting with Lloyd, I won’t see anyone with a double gun when I’m out hunting.
Best,
Ted
