I used Peter of mygunimport.com to bring a gun from the UK to the US. Took about 4 1/2 months and cost about $550. Completely painless. Just don't expect to be continuously updated as to the whereabouts of your gun. We've all been spoiled by UPS and FedEx tracking. I'm certain he can handle sending your barrels over and bringing them back.

I created a presentation on these and turned it into a short video if anyone wants to check it out and learn more about the Robert system! It is one of the earlier double guns that used a cartridge!

That's a lot of coin for a nice sweater! Kidding aside I'd ask for the email with pics and some more info and possibly proceed from there. Posting that info is a daunting task for some of us. Past that I have to agree with George!

Sounds like you've got a pretty good handle on the situation, but you can see anything and everything with Scott guns. I think they would build you anything you wanted within reason. For example, I had a Premier hammer gun circa 1875 with no engraving other than the name and address, but the rib stated it was a Premier. Found out later that pogeon shooters would order a top grade model sans engraving to get the best quality wood, barrels and workmanship. Second example is a 12 bore Premier Boxlock in the 1895 era, that had every feature you could think of incorporated in it. I corresponded with Dr. Crawford about it, and he asked Pat Whatley, then W&S manager, about it. Crawford said Whatley told him Scott never made anything like that, but I've even heard of an Imperial Premier 10 gauge boxlock double.

David, would those "nancys" be what we refer to as a "karen" south of the Mason Dixon Line?

As I said, ed, I do apologize.

Just to close this thread, FAB reported that the Manufrance gun SN records exist and are kept at Archives Departmentales de la Loire. He also said that it has been several years since they have responded to emails or written correspondence. FAB said to find the records you are looking for, you'll have to go to St. Etienne directly. Unlike British archives, who will do the research for you for a charge, the French apparently regard such arrangements as unseemly capitalism.

After Two emails and a snail letter, I've received absolutely nothing back from Loire Archives. I guess that's the way it is until someone changes the bureaucratic mindset there.

I guarantee you that syrup was still good when you threw it out. I came across some honey which was over 30 years old. It was still fine. High concentrations of sugars seem to keep longer than we expect. It is sad that a long honored brand name is suddenly racist. Aunt Jemima and uncle Ben are such suppressed people. Do not forget the Native American or Native Canadian who was on a butter brand. All racist emblems of suppression and exploitation.

Good question Ford. I will see if I can find out.

Serbus,

LRF,
I feel for you brother, my problems are also service connected caused by agent orange and hearing loss from rifle range and heavy construction equipment. I didn't choose to use the VA system for my medical services because my wife was on my BCBS Federal and I needed to keep it. At least, we caught the prostate cancer early enough to stop it. Friends didn't find it soon enough.

Their new catalog is to die for.

Had a similar set on a 54 Winchester Hornet at one time. As I recall they were a pain in the butt to adjust.

The Silenzias are sub-sonic for use in .410 shotguns fitted with silencers. Quite popular in the U.K. for shooting small game such as pigeons and squirrels. https://www.hushpower.co.uk/ Lagopus.....

Thanks, Rob. Have responded via PM.

Once you do that, come back to this website and right click on, "join the conversation". A box will appear and left click on "paste". Then left click on the post box.

John, I sent a private message with my email address. Thanks.

However you interpret my post, the gun in question is, as stated, a scarce or rare gun that appears to be of high quality.

I got this from a dealer at a Gun Show that used to be held in Greenwich CT years ago, it was a high end show, mostly SxS dealers and custom rifles upstairs and parts downstairs. The seller was strictly a Winchester guy, all sorts of hard to find stuff like this.

Sold as a package, 1-1/4" Super Grade swivels with 1-1/4" sling. Leather is supple, no cracking, brass hooks are heavy gauge.

$475 plus shipping....

I grew up listening to that song but by Hank Thompson not TEF. Have always been a Hank Thompson fan.

Well my son and I finished the Kentucky pistol, hope to shoot it soon, here are some pictures

Shot column or "square" loads. 1oz and ⅞ in a 12 light or heavy works.
I remember reading MM that a light 12 became popular because of mens hand size on a sxs.

A guy I shoot with shoots a 28g . ¾ load. He is deadly.

I shoot sc and do not like 1 1/8th
