The Weight Of Yours???
      #73913 - 15/03/07 12:16 PM

Guys,

Please help here. I am asking the EXACT weight, to the

ounce of your UNSCOPED, UNLOADED vintage double rifle

of U.K. manufacture, and also please state the caliber

with your response. Further, indicate if it's a Birmingham

B/L or London S/L. I am especially interested in calibers
375 Flngd Mag thru 500 NE. The more responses the

better. If you want to keep it private I am at this address

advenjack@yahoo.com - I am grateful for all answers.
