Greener questions
I have always wanted a 20 gauge greener. Maybe it is because of the one Gene Hill liked so much that he imagined who might have owned it originally and wrote a story about it. I had the opportunity to buy a very light 5 lb. 11 ounce 12 gauge with a very petite frame which is very close to my double (00) frame on my VHE 28. I purchased a couple of boxes of 2 1/2” RST shells for it.
Wondering where I could find out more about this gun. Graham Greener is no longer doing letters or doing any research which is fine. He gave me two names .....Mr. Dryhurst and a Mr. Tandy which to this point I haven’t heard back from. Does anyone here have information to share?
Serial # 50498. I believe 1901 0r so
Min wall thickness .027 both barrels
Bore 10” from Breech L. .787 choke.030 R .734 choke .010
Proofed at 1 1/4 oz with a 70 Marking
Chambers 2 5/8”
Any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
