Quite possibly its by a well know Birmingham maker .

If you decide to pass on it... let me know! I'd love to have another Atkin in 20 gauge.

The Atkin, Grant, & Lang book by Don Masters does not list a serial #5371 in the Atkin numbers. The Atkin numbers went up to about 3592 (1961) and then jumped to the 20,000 series. Can you post a pic?

I’m to look at it Friday will take some pictures.

2 1/2" chambers choked ic/lM

We could use a picture of the barrel flats to tell you more, but already we can see that it is a very modest gun, and likely not in the best condition.
Modest British boxlock fixer uppers are a sinkhole for money.

I believe that the gun is fairly 'original' and probably made in the early 50's. Some Atkin boxlocks had chopper lump barrels and all his guns were pretty nice.

I own Atkin #300X - made in 1930. Atkin, Grnt and Lang is now owned by Francis Lovell and are making guns to order. If you google Francis Lovell in the UK, you will find his dealership. Google Atkin, Grant & Lang for contact info at AG&L. they were very helpful in providing info for me.

Actually, you should call or send an inquiry to Atkin, Grant, & Lang AGL. Talk with Rachel as she seems to review the order books for questions.

Ill give her a call thank you

I can't say for 100% certain, but most, probably all Atkin boxlocks (indeed most British boxlocks) were Birmingham made - and sold as Atkin carrying Atkin's name. Birmingham made boxlocks come in all grades from basic Midland Gun Co and BSAs to Westley Richards, Greener, A.A Brown and Wm Powell, but are generally soundly made. The best are as good as any made anywhere.
