Ron,

good to hear that ZP-49 works in these conversions. I've always been attracted by its smooth but still somewhat barren looks. At least those guns imported here in Finland are almost always without any engraving or other decoration.

I truly enjoy all fancy doubles, but for some strange reason I've always been fascinated by dominion grade Holland & Hollands and other PH grade doubles... Tools for professionals, literally.

I've many times thought about purchasing a ZP-49 for my future projects. Second hand BRNOs are all the time available here and they're also fairly cheap. However, I have hesitated since my friend has one, and he managed to shoot it loose within a few years. Almost all of his shooting was on game - he shot clays only occasionally. He also exclusively used regular loads and not any kind of semi- or mini-magnums. One local "gunsmith" then hammered the bites tight again. I was pissed with that kind of work, but hey, it's cheap & fast.

It was definitely less than thousand rounds that put the gun into that condition. I've thought it a lot, and I reckon there was something wrong in that individual gun.

Regarding pics on your double, I'll echo those guys above.

Regards,
Saku
