Default T Wild 1890's

A british boxlock a friend sold me on the cheap to match my british lab.

T Wild 12ga ejector 2 3/4, 28 “ barrels. 6 lb 4 oz. Locks up tight. Choked SK/SK

From Roland Watson: Barrels are post 1954 and proofed twice, the last relatively recently, chambers altered to 70mm, probably why it was proofed twice. The action is much older circa 1890’s. Restocked at some point. Repair in toe of stock.

I have a Thomas Wild hammer gun I keep in the UK. It’s got 32 in barrels and 3 in chambers, weighs 8 1/2 lbs. Built like a tank. They are great guns. Enjoy yours.
