2 Barrel Sets

Hello Chris,

That 'DHE' is STILL a fun gun to shoot at most anything and 'Thanks' for making it available back when...as well as posting the pictures again. It's still here in Montana and looks much the same other than a rust-bluing of both barrel sets. I'm using it occasionally for clays and pheasants. As for your shorebirds, they would have to be a loooong way out there as those 20 ga. full/full barrels are printing a 5" dia. pattern at 35 ft. from the muzzle....with only .025" constriction in each. It is still very much appreciated.

All Best to you and yours,

rob

Since Dean mentioned his "made up" three barrel set, I'll enter mine. It is a 0 frame 28" GHE 16 Damascus, with 26" 16 gauge Parker Special Steel and 32" 20 gauge A-1 Special barrels, Vulcan Steel. Each set has its matching forend. All barrels fit as well or better than the 1911 originals. The original gun came from Shoverling, Daly, and Gales. If anyone comes up with a case for this gun, I would appreciate it. I would even like a case for my other 16 gauge GHE three barrel gun whose longest set is 30".

I was feeling jealous about the ten gauges our posters mentioned until I remembered my 30" NH Twist Steel ten with extra non matching 30" ten gauge Titanic steel barrels. They fit absolutely perfectly without any filing. The Titanic barrels are waiting patiently for the #3 frame gun they were separated from. The barrels on the gun should be numbered like the ones I have. I believe mine are #2. The gun was originally sold by William Wagner in Washington, D.C.

Rob,
Great to hear from you again and it's good to know all is going well. Also nice to hear you are staying active with the long barreled DHE, I'm glad it went where it was appreciated and enjoyed. I may be stopping by your neck of the woods in the future, perhaps we can go work the dogs on a few birds...
Happy New Year!

Best, Chris ~ CSL
