and yes- even though the barrels passed a 3" nitro proof - its still 130+ year old wood taking the pounding, another reason for the light loads

2890 pounds sterling equates to about $4770 with an exchange of $1.65 to the pound . I can think of a couple American made doubles I could get for that amount .

While this gun is certainly not cheap, neither is anything worth having.
You could easily buy a couple of Chevrolets for the price of an S-Class Mercedes, too. But then, all you'd have would be Chevrolets. |

I picked up this 10 ga Dougall about a year ago. I really liked it and it fit me well and just seemed natural to add it...aside from the fact that it appeared to have never had a screw turned...they were all perfect. It did need some work...a new hammer spring and and some work on the actual hammers but after some great work by Dewey, its now all ready to go for next season...waterfowl or maybe a tower shoot.
I really like the Jones under lever on the gun listed above. This one has the Dougall patented lockfast with Stanton locks. |
