Default S Grant hammer gun.

Stephen Grant hammer gun no 2788 completed in 1868.
Production commenced in 1867 so this is a early one.
The gun has non- rebounding hammers.

David,
Very nice Grant. What length are the barrels? Is there any choke or are they regulated? I really love those hammers and Jones rotary. Neill

Have you had this Grant long? I have looked for a grant for quite a while but have not quite found the one. They are definitely nice and you cannot go wrong with your choice. Hittem hard.

David,
It is a small world! I looked at this gun via internet and went as far as to call Wayne about this Grant. You made a great choice. When you listed the serial number I knew it rang a bell for me. I could never could make my mind up about the open chokes. I am sure they are fine but I was looking at so many I could not decide. Let me know if you ever get tired of this Grant. Again, hittem hard.
