WW Greener Sidelever

[Harold Lee Pickens]

I would love to shoot this gun. It has a great feel and is light for a 12. Sadly, it is not mine but a good friend's, and he has never entertained the idea of shooting it. The rib is engraved St. Marys Works Birmingham. It has 30 barrels that are quite light and still show some nice damascus pattern. On my guage they measured IC/IC. The chambers appear to be 2 1/2. Ser # is 13095.
Would love to introduce this gun to my setters and some pheasants.
hmm, me thinks I would like a hammer gun!

As long as the bores are good and barrel walls not too thin, there is no reason not to shoot the gun. RST loads in the 1100 -1150 fps range should be fine.

BTW... I believe I may have handled this gun at the Southern SxS this Spring. Or, one very much like it.

And yes... one English hammer gun just leads to another... and another.

This gun has very nice bores that i would shoot in a heartbeat. No this gun has never left the closet.Any idea of its value--he might consider selling it to me, because i help him out.

Harold:
If it were me, I'd snag that gun if I could. Price? I can't say. Maybe somewhere south of $2000. But as long as buyer and seller are happy, who cares?

[Richard Flanders]

That is nice. Side lever guns are nice to shoot also. You get used to the lever pretty quickly.

I can just about quarentee you would like a hammer gun, and that one would be a great first one. They are a lot of fun over pointing dogs.

Harold I would love to own that gun:bowdown: I have an English 16ga hammer gun with the jones underlever but I have been jonesing for a side lever:rotf:

Harold If memory serves there is a greener hammer gun complete with side lever for sale on the vintage doubles web site.

[Rich Anderson]

Wayne I just looked there and there is someone looking to buy.I didn't see one for sale.

[wayne goerres]

The gun must have sold. It was there a couple of weeks ago. Some of these guys are slow about takeing them off the web. It may have already sold.

Really nice looking gun. I have a 12 bore Greener hammer that is great in the field.

Might as well toss in another Greener with his "Self Acting Striker", which was his first patent after leaving business with his father. Neat, unmolested gun circa 1872.

neat looking hammers! Looks quite pristine..

Joe:
Nice Greener. I'm working on a CF that's almost identical. But I have often found Greeners a bit odd... kind of like old W. W. himself.

I recently bought virtually the same gun, ser. #11,xxx. It is fun to shoot with RST loads and has quick response on clays. I am going to take it grouse hunting in November. Since I bought it I have done some studying on Greener shotguns and think they are very under priced in the current market for the quality of gun.
