A seven frame with 36 and 38 inch barrels that alone weigh 10 lbs... how much do entire gun weigh?? 14-15 lbs??
First, I love to hold one in hand... Second, I'd really like to shoot one some day. |

If there was ever a gun worthy of restoration, this would have to be it. Many (myself included) get weak in the knees over the small bores, but there is something about this gun that really talks.
Kind of reminds me of those huge armorers models of the 1917 Brownings, only this one is the real deal. |

Assuming a well deserved and worthwhile restoration, were it mine, I would also be tempted to book a wildfowling trip to the UK, where I believe you may still use an 8 bore,
the logic being if you can only shoot a certain number of duck what matter is it what they are shot with. the one British gun law I can agree with.

Jeff,
I put mine on the kitchen scale and it showed it weighed 16 lbs. I don't know how mine with shorter barrels would weigh less, maybe the wood is heavier or the scale isn't perfect. The barrels alone weighed a just a bit less than 10 lbs. Very interesting... I am planning to get the stock professionally repaired so that I can shoot it someday. Hasn't been fired since the 70's. Kind of a right of passage in my family. |

Jeff's gun also has factory 4" chambers as I recall. It is one of a pair, different grades but identical features, again, as I recall.
