Drilling with 2 bbl sets?
      #107092 - 09/06/08 10:31 PM

A short while ago someone posted pictures of a drilling with 2 barrel sets on a forum (might have been this one, I’m having a senior moment). It was an old pre-war drilling and looked very similar to my pre-war drilling by Anton Weingarten of Dusseldorf. It had one barrel set with 2 shotgun barrels and a rifle barrel underneath, like mine, but also had a set with a shotgun barrel in the upper right position, a rifle barrel in the upper left position, and a rifle barrel in the underneath position. I believe the shotgun barrels were 16 gauge and the rifle barrels were 8x57IR. By arranging the barrels in the double rifle set the way he did, the maker was able to get away with using the same forend for both sets.

This looked like the ideal set up. The conventional drilling barrel set for when your primary game is feathered and the double rifle drilling barrel set for when your primary game is furred.

Does anyone still make drillings with two barrel set like this, maybe in 20ga 3” and either 8x57IRS or 9.3x74R?

kcordell,

Thanks for the link. I had never seen the Blaser drilling. But I question its handling as a shotgun for wing shooting. Anyone tried one? How pricey are they?
