Those porcupine quills are gonna get caught between the barrels. 118 posts and at leat three of them are picking on me. I think you should buy it so my arms don't get tired walking all day with a heavy fox gun that somebody sold me. Besides, i would have gotten that overhead grouse with a fast gun like that. That gun was made for your neck of the woods but shooting a light short gun like that takes a heck of a lot of practice. RST light loads would be perfect for it. You better like it because once you buy it expect it to stay with you for the rest of your life since nobody else will buy it. Very unique purpose built gun.
So many guns, so little time!

The last ribless, short barrel lightweights I saw was a pair of Boss 20 gauges. I think they were 75 large apiece. They had nicer wood. A friend shoots a ribless 32" Purdey pigeon gun. I think the tag on that one was $60,000.

Builder wants me to buy so he can play with it Grouse hunting! I have requested the added pics and will let you guys know what they show. The only french firearms I pick on are the army rifles, most were only dropped once! Sorry, couldn't resist. I had a Darne and the workmanship was very impressive. Thanks Bob

That's gun has been on Gunbroker.com for a long time. Looks interesting, but I don't think I could shoot 24" bbls.

I was going to buy the gun last year but couldn't talk the owner into a 1 day inspection period.

Thats what scares me, no returns! Hell, I don't have a problem with paying the shipping. When it's all or nothing, buyer beware. When I sell something, return it if you don't like the box. Time to think!

I would love the shorter barrels, EVEN builder knows that our northern cover is perfect for them. Just waiting for more info.
