I agree with Mehulkamdar! Austrailia probably has more ventage Double rifles than any other country in the world today. This translates into a larger group of collectors, than any other place. This is the reason for the, seemingly, umlimited store of knowledge here on Ntro Express.com, on the history of the old Britt maker's products.

I have been interested in double rifles all my life, since the first one I ever touched, at the age of six years, and I'm 69 yrs old. I've read everything I could get my hands on since, but untill 15, or 20 yrs ago, there was precious little available in the USA pertaining to double rifles, and fewer people who knew anything about them. This still holds today in many ways. Even very well known gunsmiths, and custom gun dealers are, in a word, "CONFUSED", when it comes to the care and feeding of double rifles.

The USA is a Lever action society, which jumped from lever to bolt action. This is because people in the USA did not have the INDIA, and AFRICA connection that the Britt soldiers had. There was no need for any type rifle, for North American game, other than what our armies used . The old 45-70, the 30-40 Krieg, the 30-06, then the 308 (7.62 NATO), and finally the 223. were all the progression needed for North America.

Double rifles were not needed, and since they were so expensive, and required unknown skills to build, they never became a household discussion in America. I would say no more than 1% of Americans has even ever seen a double rifle, much less held, or shot one! I learn something with almost every post I read here, and I've been involved with double rifles for a very long time. It isn't any wonder that those who have only begun to think DOUBLE RIFLE, can learn loads from this web-site!

Many of the very knowledgable people who post here are also posters on AR, came here from AR, and to AR from HA, before that. I still post in both places, as well as HA once in a while.

The friendly posting here is a mirror emage of AR, 7, or8 yrs ago. Many of us migrated to AR, to get away from the venom of other web-sites. It seems most of the problems at AR are caused by those who have been there for only a short time, and once a cancer starts to grow, it gets worse by the day. I prediict it will happen here as well, but I hope I'm wrong.
