JABC's

[Austin J Hawthorne Jr.]

I thought everyone knew about JABC's. They used to be found in barrels at almost every country gunshop and gun show for $50.00 to $100.00 apiece. They were my introduction to double guns when I was a kid as I would be allowed to use my grandfathers while hunting with him and my dad. Grandpa passed on while I was in the military and his brother was given his guns. Where they went from there I could never find out.

You often find them above the fire places at many Cracker Barrels down south. General worth imo is less then $100.

Years and years ago (over 20) my buddy wanted a sxs to hang over his fireplace in Va. I told him I'd find him one off Gunbroker and that I would look for one pre 1898. Found him a German guild gun with the cheekpiece and swivels that looked good for I think $110 bucks. Was a 16 gauge with damascus barrels. Got the gun and it was wonderful. Tight on face with nice engraving, great damascus barrels. It was so nice I told him I'd like to keep it and find him another one. Nope he liked that one and its still over his fireplace to this day and has never been fired by him.
