Too, without you taking note here and there & on auctions, these relics from the Golden Age of Gunning would be resigned to the rusty scrap heap of history, masked & obscured by neglect & the elements for few, if any, to enjoy & appreciate. A vailed effort by the ravages of time, nipped in the bud in the nick of time by a keen eye, a stout hand & Ballistol, where you have invested in an abandoned platform and coveted tubes bringing it back to its former self and pressing it into service for future aficionados to appreciate & enjoy. I for one am ecstatic to be involved in the process. Should I say more.....
Serbus,
Riamey

Should you venture over to the Dark Side of British Wares, all you need is an original forend iron where cobbling every component back together with said forend iron makes the platform, All Original >>As New<<...

https://connecticutshotgun.co/c-mod...ga-29-nitro-proofed-barrels-79253-79254/Here is a lovely brace of C. Mode scatterguns, but they only have the lowly Whitworth Steel Chopper Lump Tubesets from the Little British Isles. Most of C.(Célestin Jules) Modé were Belgian sourced but never have I seen the unqiue AF stamp @ the bottom. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/j1YLSgU.jpeg) Maybe it was Célestin Jules Modé's Belgian connection that allowed him not to have the mark, if a Paris mark? ![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/46/82/FkXyTry8_t.jpg) Serbus, Raimey rse

French 16ga with L.Bernard fluid steel barrels came home today. 6lbs 2oz 14 3/8 Lop 29.5in barrels balances .5 inches in front of hinge pin and may have the best stichk of all my guns.Gunmaker confirmed it’s actually a dual sear action not fake or altered. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/zXys9zGb/IMG-3389.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/j2mFsfSP/IMG-3388.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/G2SMQDYB/IMG-3387.jpg) I’m definitely a French double fan
