my 1957 made Gebr. Adamy 16 ga is a good example for the east german hunting gun

typical post war suhl made double with a post war zeiss zielsechs on claw mount.this kind of shotgun reach its style before the great war and beside of the many different actions develope by local gunmaker it became more and more a standard. what happen after the war in suhl with this type of shotgun was something, imho , that would have come anyway sooner or later.

the shotgun barrels of this guns crossing at +/- 25 meter so at 50 meter you find the left slug right of the middle and the rigth slug on the left side. the scope was for shooting slugs with only one barrel where it was sighted for, most times the rigth so it was more a "combination gun" than a double barrel slug gun.
its true the suhl made double gun is different from a typical british made gun, maybe like a landrower against a racecar. the suhl double gun had to be usable from partridges up to brown bear, something that was never expectetd from a british shotgun.
it was allways possible to make combination or double rifle barrels for such shotguns so the stock is just from the start a stock for rifles.
