Thanks, CJF. Very fine looking gun. Couple questions come to mind.
If it were not the number two gun of a matched or composed pair, why would it have the "2" under the forend?
And, what is the meaning of the three different LOP measurements he provided? I read that the butt was cut and respliced, but the info from Greener says "when made".
Thanks, SRH

Stan;
I may be wrong on this but I believe when you see three measurements like this on the pull they are normally given as to the heel, mid-butt & toe.
As the butt has been cut & re-spliced these may not "Jive" any more.

Makes perfect sense, Miller. Thanks. Gives a good indication of pitch when that is not given.

Hi Stan, that is a grand gun, I love a nice Greener.
Did Graham mention who filed the Action?
Was it a Mr Camm?
Graham was a pure gentleman & very nice to me when I inquired about my 1901 Jones Under lever action Hammer.
It was only a medium quality (35 Guinea) gun, but he mentioned it was a special Order Gun, & was made by the "A" team,who normally worked on the more costly guns.Mr Camm filed my action, & those percussion scooped out fences are just wonderful.
How does she shoot?
cheers

Stan - I was also wondering about the different LOP measurements. I'll go with Miller's perspective, as it sounds reasonable. (If there had been only two measurements I was thinking maybe front/back trigger, but not with three figures.)
Franc - Sorry, I don't know who filed the action, only the engraver.

Claudio, my friend, the "three dimension" length of pull figures are from the center of the front trigger to the heel, toe, and center of butt. I think the angle of the butt is simpler, and the distance from the "wall" to the muzzle is the most simple. Oddly, this British system leaked over to Parker Brothers.

8-bore;
Just one point of clarification, should it not be heel, center of butt & toe to keep things in order. As the middle measurement is the shortest, that would be center, heel (next longest) would thus be first measurement & Toe (longest) would thus be third measurement. Thus the order would be Heel, Mid & Toe .
I do totally agree the simple measurement of muzzle to wall to determine pitch is much simpler & more meaningful to most of us.

What a beautiful gun! Great job! A greener with the greener safety is definitely on my must have list

Are Greener side safeties automatic, that is, do they move to SAFE upon opening?
