So this more than likely isn't an Anson & Deeley Body Action but some Pieper Modified A&D Platform?
If you every have it apart, inquiring minds sure would like to see the internals.....
Seeing you are now Mr. Bernard, what might be your next Bernard acquisition.

These 2 fell in my lap I bought both for less than 1600.00 total. I dont gamble at casinos any more just on guns.
If I see any more crazy deals like a rusty side lever Purdey or Lindner 16ga with longer than 26” barrels I will try my cards again so to speak. Very happy with 3 16ga hammer guns one German, British and now French. Probably 2 years before I will have them all back together but it will be one h#ll of a dove hunt weekend using those three.

You must be Livin' Right then as one just doesn't have 2 L. Bernard tubesets >>drop<< in ones lap..... One Tubeset is probably more valuable that what you ponied up for the brace of French guns. A hammergun is an addiction.....

![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/mPVdPJH.png) After this shoot this year I was hooked. Hope to shoot a few more Sunday. If I could scout and time things correctly with my 250 acres of corn fields in Glasgow Ky(farmers can be sporadic as the weather)I would have you and anyone close by here join us. Most of the time I just show up(I’m 1.7hrs away) and hope for the best it’s hit or miss but half the time it’s pretty impressive. 2 coveys and a few rabbits on that farm so if no doves may still get a bird or rabbit. Wish Doc was close it would be fun to give him some payback also.

I am so humbled & grateful for the offer, but so many before me have greatly added to the data mining. Hause & I have been @ it under the same yoke for about 20 years now, when we hitched our harnesses & hames. I had taken a German Kombo hammergun as partial payment for services and I know not Hause's driving factor. But I think I know his sporting fancies & if you get that Pieper / G-R up and running and travel to Kansas to meet us, I believe he would show....
In the meantime, set your sights on a Modé of Paris as a spring board to a František Faukner a Praze, then on to the pinnacle being a Matska w/ Léopold Bernard tubes.....

And on a historical & happenstance note, Wolfgang actually pulled from his neighbour's trash a weekly magazine that had the Pieper advert tucked among the tattered pages...... I guess Wolfgang is a >>Dumpster Diver<<, for sporting info????

Too, PeteM was a member of the Trio & rounded out the Three Amigos.
Amazing how times & things change. I am setting here watching >>McHale's Navy<< making Chai & Bacon and have a house full of Japanese International Students.
