I finally received my shipment of guns from England yesterday. In the shipment were the following:
1. Holland & Holland 16 bore sidelock, crystal cocking indicators. Most likely made by Scott. circa-1882
2. W. W. Greener 12 bore with crossover stock. Made for right handed left master eyed shooters. circa- 1896-97
3. Westley Richards 16 bore with damascus barrels. circa - 1880
4. Westley Richards 12 bore with twist barrels. circa - 1880
5. William Jones rook rifle that has been bored out to .410. Jones went out of business in 1868. I'm contemplating having it lined and chambered to 25-35 WCF as the bores have some pitting.
6. Steyr Mannlicher model 1910 in .375 rimless or otherwise known as the 9.5x57mm.
7. Ego Armos double rifle in 7x65R. No photos as it doesn't meet the age requirements for this page.
8. And my son's C Chisholm & Son 12 bore sidelock with damascus barrels.

Both of them are. The 16 is going to replace one that I should have never sold. Don't know what I'm doing with the 12 yet.

before shooting, measure barrel wall thicknesses...old english guns are notorious for having thin barrel walls...


keep it simple and keep it safe...

The auction houses that I buy from provide wall thickness measurements before each auction on each and every shotgun.

How many have you imported and measured firsthand, eddie?

Due to my cross dominance, I was contemplating the crossover. I always wonder what it is like to actually hit a target.

I bought it for a friend that passed away before I could get it to him.
