Re: Sabatti Double Rifles, Brickbats & Bouquets

Ken Owen, the double rifle maker, has now done some re-regulation of some Sabatti double rifles, so he may be willing to do such work for customers who own Sabatti rifles.

JJ Perdeau, of Champlin's firearms, OK, told me that he twice tried to re-regulate Sabatti rifles, and failed, because he thought they did not have a mid point regulation wedge. JJ has done an excellent job of re-regulating many double rifles for customers. I assume that he did not want to take the time to make mid point regulation wedges, install them, etc., and that is reason why he will not take on such work with the Sabatti doubles.

I personally have re-regulated two Sabatti double rifles for close friends, and found that JJ was correct, of course, in that they DO NOT have a mid point regulation wedge. However, most vintage double rifles, especially German ones I am most familiar with, also have no mid point regulation wedge, and are assembled with same materials, and methods as Sabatti. I simply made, from scratch, mid point regulation wedges, installed them, and regulated them, as I have done on conversions of double shotguns to double rifles, having learned the process from gunsmithing class given by W. Ellis Brown, who later wrote his book on converting double rifles to double shotguns, which includes written details on regulation process, of course. I am retired, and not interested in doing such work for customers.
