What a pity that marvellous AH sidelock has had such a hard life: it would have been a marvellous thing when well cared-for. Still, we shouldn't begrudge the circumstances that bring these wonderful old guns within reach. No doubt you will have a ton of fun bringing her back up, peter.

I too get the greatest satisfaction from returning a weatherbeaten old campaigner to the hunting field!

this one looks like it will be a quicker fix to take her back, and ammo wice it will be a walk in the park to get the components for it.

i talked to www.dicksonandmacnaughton.com today and the serial number must be worn because 5040 is a single shot but they are so cool that they called sothebyes to get the details right, but we will get them tommorow.

as of now all i know is that, it were a best gun, as that was the only choise, that you got with that action. if im lucky it should be bellowing late january.


NEW info, Just in. it seems that the serial no is: 6840 that means 28" barrels 2,5" chambers
no regulation loads, but it might be on the barrels though(fingers crossed).

more tommorow

cheers
