Immanuel Meffert Cape Gun in 16ga - 9.3x72R - Hubertus
As I mentioned in my previous post about the Burgsmuller Cape gun that I purchased, I also purchased this Meffert in 16ga - 9.3x72R. This is the 4th Cape gun in my collection. As you can see, I have a soft-spot for these vintage all-purpose guns.
Specs for this one: full length matted rib with flip up rear sigh. Greener crossbolt boxlock action with cocking indicators on top of frame. Frame is lightly engraved in scroll. Made with double triggers, extractors, non-auto safety. Horn capped pistol grip. Buttstock is checkered in point pattern and terminates with lined horn buttplate. Sling swivels. Splinter forend with Deeley release is checkered in point pattern. 27-5/8" Barrels. 14-3/16" LOP Weighs 6 pounds 11 ounces.
As always, your comments are welcome.

At just under 7lbs it will be a 'lively' lady to dance with mate!
Great calibre Buckstix....certainly have a hankering for those cape guns don't you.
Hopefully we'll see how there all go with shot & ball - one load for all the guns?

Very nice indeed. Bulbous (raised and rounded) breech boss and cocking indicators! Yowser!

That is a very nice looking cape gun by a good maker.
The 9.3x72 is an easy cartridge to reload. I understand that many are really 9.0x72R in that they shoot best with 0.358" to 0.360" bullets. My 9.3x72R stalking rifle groups well with 0.360" cast bullets.
