Re: William Evans 500 bpe Underlever Hammer Double

What a lovely old piece Buckstix!
True it might not come directly from the biggest makers of the high end double rifle, but it was worked on by one of only a handful of workmen that were that good & that actually did the real work for those companies!
I hope she shoots as good as she looks - with a steel butt plate it will be stout with full BP loads!
Certainly a keeper to pass on as an heirloom; there is something about these old BP guns that can't me 'made', it's the patina from ages past that makes them what they are!
Well done mate - we're all rather envious of you!
Cheers
