Hi all, I've seen the ads in DGJ from Vintage Doubles and also Kirby's website. He has some nice doubleguns for sale.
For those who bought from him, I was wondering how your dealings went with him?
Thanks all.

I've brought two guns from Kirby. A Diamond Quality Daly and a 16b Dan'l Fraser. Both dealings were satisfactory. His prices tend to lean toward "resonable" so if you have a gun to trade, don't be upset when he offers you about half of it's market value. He is a straight ahead guy and I would not hesitate to deal with him again.

Ditto Jon S and clayws.
I have purchased two guns from him, missed a couple of others as we couldn't get together on price. I have severe non-buyer's remorse over one of them. I wish I would have gone up the 5% we were apart.
Best,
Mike
I am glad to be here.

Kirby has a wide range of guns and has made himself knowledgeable. As his inventory has expanded, he obviously doesn't remember every last detail about each, but he will go pick up a gun and do his best to describe it. I have found him enjoyable to deal with several times. I second the comment that his prices are reasonable.

Met him a a clays shoot in Illinois a few years ago, very pleasant fellow. Most of his guns looked better in person than on the web-site.
Buyer's remorse can be an ugly thing. We suffer for years over a couple of hundred bucks.

I purchased a muzzle loader from him. Well described and a reasonable price.
He's also genuinely personable.

Kirby is purported to have picked up a Sauer Meisterwerke at the Vegas show & I'm curious if he had a buyer.
Kind Regards,
Raimey

I have bought a number of double rifles from him. HE IS VERY HONEST WITH HIS DESCRIPTIONS. His prices are fair. I will continue to buy from him.
