Dean,
Can you share any details on those barrels (grade? gauge?). Piqued my interest.
Thanks,
Sara

Yes Sara,

Somebody apparently turned a beautiful A grade, side-cocker with Bernard barrels into a "cowboy action gun" by cutting the barrels down to 22".

The ignorance out there is apalling!!

Anyway, someone bought the gun and fitted fluid steel barrels to it and put these barrels up for sale on doublegunshop.com and I bought them... Why? you might ask.... I have a soft spot for any kind of orphan I guess.

Double or triple click on the pictures I posted where you can see the top rib engraved "Made Expressly For F. A. Elliott" I asked Bob Elliott if this F A Elliott was some relative of his and he said "Not to my knowledge."

Dean,
Thanks for sharing! That's a darn shame someone cut those barrels! An A grade, side-cocker of all things!
Glad you took them in and appreciate them! They are still impressive on their own.
