FINE ENGLISH SHOTGUNS
click on images for larger or more images

Because of the expense and dimensional complexity of English double barrel shotguns our normal manner of listing has been altered. A spread sheet has been prepared which lists the critical dimensions. Each photograph has been backed by several others to provide all of the salient views.
Shipping will be undertaken only to the Continental US. The fee for shipping is $200.00 per gun and is to be added to the price listed. All are C&R Eligible and those that are Pre 1898 are noted. All bores are fine and bright and all barrels are on the face and free of dents. All are in fine condition with no appreciable wear.

Red Inventory numbers are post 1898 and are for sale to FFL dealers or C&R collectors only.
