I suspect this gun will bring a great deal of money; and with all fees likely $150K or more. A Boss round body SxS 20 gauge 30 inch barrel with Boss single trigger is an ideal gun to my way of thinking. I do not know how many were ever made but I think you could count them on one hand, excluding the thumb. https://www.holtsauctioneers.com/as...++1549+&refno=++237494&saletype=

Great gun, but as a purist, I wish they had not altered the gun with changeable chokes.

This is a very recently produced gun. Keep in mind that all UK guns built today are built with non toxic shot in mind so are “superior proof” in most cases and Teague chokes are the norm.
One of the better gunsmiths in the UK has told me that no British single trigger is actually reliable. He has worked for a lifetime on the guns and should know.
Some folks like the rounded frame but to others it detracts from the classic game gun look.
Boss guns finish up about the best of the London guns today.

I would add that quite a few longish barreled small bores are being built in both O/U and SXS. Pairs, trios etc. I doubt many come to market. The current wait time is quoted as 3-3.5 years and it takes fully that long.
The Boss crew is great to deal with and they are building some fantastic guns. If anyone wants more details feel free to message me. If I knew how to post photos on this site I would do so.

If that trigger proved to be satisfactory I suspect I could close out my chapter here using it exclusively for doves, and not feel deprived one whit.

How much is a new one built to fit a client? I ask out of curiosity because I don't know.

Why? Have you had issues with British guns?
