This is a gun I got from Holts last sale and the pictures are of it are as I found it, uncleaned. It seems to be quite a scarce model and apart from a touch of slackness on the face and bites, in useable condition. The bores are good and it still has full and full chokes and I only plan a light, sympathetic restoration, keeping most of the patina on the metalwork and signs of a life well lived on the woodwork. Does anyone know the reason for the grooves on the standing breech, round the firing pins and off to each side ?

that is the w & c scott gas leakage escape design, patented by scott in the 1880's....in 1937, no doubt the patent had long since lapsed. they show up on many guns, and are a simple and elegant solution to a potentially problematic situation.

Thank you for that, it all goes towards understanding the detail of these old guns.

JR I'm glad to see you are getting it done John. It looks like your son has nailed it, because I see the trail camera image of a turkey near a feeder. As I told you before, my offer of any assistance I can give is still open, just let me know.
