Well, let's see Eric. Counting you and I, that's none so far.
Shotguns with multiple sets of barrels are mostly an 'American' thing. It is almost unheard of in England. They probably subscribed to the same belief as I; that it's better to have two guns.
The Europeans, and very much so in Austria and Germany, frequently owned guns with extra barrels, but these extras were generally configured differently than the other, i.e., a SxS shotgun might have an extra combination barrel, shotgun and riffle, or double rifle. The same was true of over/unders. Julia's just sold a two barreled drilling that I used to own. One was a conventional drilling barrel, the other had rifle and shotgun on top, and rifle on the bottom. I'm pretty sure it was configured this way originally, with the conventional drilling barrel added later.
