My shipment from England finally arrived.
|
I finally received my shipment of guns from England yesterday. In the shipment were the following:
1. Holland & Holland 16 bore sidelock, crystal cocking indicators. Most likely made by Scott. circa-1882
2. W. W. Greener 12 bore with crossover stock. Made for right handed left master eyed shooters. circa- 1896-97
3. Westley Richards 16 bore with damascus barrels. circa - 1880
4. Westley Richards 12 bore with twist barrels. circa - 1880
5. William Jones rook rifle that has been bored out to .410. Jones went out of business in 1868. I'm contemplating having it lined and chambered to 25-35 WCF as the bores have some pitting.
6. Steyr Mannlicher model 1910 in .375 rimless or otherwise known as the 9.5x57mm.
7. Ego Armos double rifle in 7x65R. No photos as it doesn't meet the age requirements for this page.
8. And my son's C Chisholm & Son 12 bore sidelock with damascus barrels.

It's the first shipment, of many that I've received over the years, that I'm entirely satisfied with.

Really nice "shipment", casper50. What's not to like. Was wondering if that rook action would handle the .25/35? I am sure you have thought this through & it must be.

Very nice guns. Was it difficult to import?

Import part went smooth as silk. Export not so much. They couldn't find a carrier to carry it to Anchorage. Ended up having to send it to Texas to my importer and reship from there.
