Posted this on the "Southern" line but no response; I need some sort of help by tomorrow before going over to Southern...small beer but somehow interesting:

Hanging out at the Southern today...met and talked to Joe from Charlotte, Vic Venters and several more DGS participants.

But I saw a Reilly discussed before on the Reilly line with replacement barrels and the lines of a 1900's rifle, converted to shotgun - SN 1833, (see bottom of this page):

I looked the gun over today...replacement barrels; pretty sure it was a rifle converted to shotgun. The SN is not in the Reilly numbering chronology but is on the barrels and tang. It's been reproofed as well as rebarreled. It is heavy so I think it really looks like a 1907 rifle. But here is the strange thing...no Scott Gas Check patent grooves.

-- Question: Was the Scott Gas Check Patent 617 of Feb 1882 used only on shotguns? or was it also used on big bore SxS rifles as well?

Likely sourced from wR - appearances can be deceptive.
In DGJ winter 2020 the excellent article by Terry Deem on Pittsburg Firearms Co. shows a Westley Richards design A&D that I would have said emerged from their factory, at least as an action, BUT on dismantling has the hidden marking of R. ELLIS MAKER BIRM M.

Images: Now what was the date of the Parker? For some reason I always thought the gas-check was really aimed at black powder. That 12 bore is a rifle...right?
