That is correct bob. As the barrels move forward it also cocks both internal hammers (for lack of a better name). I am not sure yet but it looks like unfortunately both needles may be broken. Dean I will try to get you a couple more Pic's.

I seem to remember that some early Parkers had two different size chambers, (A) being "above bore" and (B) being "bore" diameter. I wonder if this shotgun has what would be a (B) chamber.
I would turn some brass cases just to try it out on clays.

I found out to day that they are .070 cases. (forget all about gauges they do not correspond). They fire these guns buy sizing 20ga MagTech brass down to size. I am still in the learning stage but have been corresponding with a Dreyse collector. The gun was made in 1885 (+/-) which is way later than I would have thought. With an English style stock and a steel trigger guard It is some what rare for a Dreyse.It will probable be a while before I try to fire this gun. Seems like I have to many projects.

Wayne, just an idea. Try contacting Rocky Mountain Cartridge. You make a Cerrosafe chamber casting of your gun and have have him turn some brass shells.
Just a thought. |

Charlie I think we will just call it a mutt unless someone has a better idea. Frank I don't deal with rude people.
