Well, I went into the gun store to pick up a shotgun; I came out with that, and a drilling! Chamber cast and bore measurements confirm that it's a 16x16x9.3x72. The 16ga chambers look to be 2.75" but are most likely 2 9/16", the bore measures .364" which is correct for the 9.3x72. The rifling is very sharp and the crown is clean which leads me to believe this gun spent more time in the closet than in the field. As can be seen in the pictures, turning the top lever to the left moves a bar under the right-side hammer and also raises the front sight: very cool ![]() The barrels say "Krupp Stahl" and the water table shows nitro proofing for both shotgun chambers and the rifle barrel. The gun is unmarked as to maker but looks just like every other Suhl hammer drilling I've come across, just a heck of alot cleaner. This is going to be a fun gun! ![]() Any suggestions, tips, hints or tricks for dealing with a drilling? Anybody have one like mine?
