New Toy: 12-bore Howdah Rifle
28/11/07 01:58 AM

In my quest for the ultimate 12-bore heavy double rifle or magnum paradox, I always have time to stop along the way and smell the roses. Picked up this little gem during an interstate trip on the weekend, though it will be a couple of weeks before I take delivery.

12-bore Howdah Rifle by Cavanagh, converted from pinfire, possibly started life as a muzzle-loader. Folding express sights with no standing leaf, gold bead up front. Wedge fore-end attachment. Prowling tigers on the patch-box, bold scroll on the lock-plates and action bar. Short barrels, damascus with wide shallow slow-twist rifling, shiny bore with a couple of small stains which should improve. In need of TLC, but should be a good shooter with care.

...and cute as hell!

Now all I need is an elephant!
...and some tigers, of course!

I'll put a spread of better pics in the DR Photos & Archive forum when the gun arrives, and gets a clean-up.
