Your Diamond In The Rough
#373669 - 31/01/23 02:29 PM

Many of us have some old and often a bit rough shotgun that keeps on filling the game bag and cooking pot.

Show us your "gems".

Mine is a French Manufrance Robust No 4 16 gauge SXS I got for $200.00 many years ago. It was tight, had no dents, had sound wood, and the bluing turning plum colored. The little double fit me like it was custom made for me. I've shot countless quail, chukar, doves, and grouse with it over the years. This diminutive double will be part of my estate when I croak.

Up close it looks like everything killed with it was clubbed to death with the gun.

Guess that would be my Harrington & Richardson Model 1915
I wish mine looked as nice as this one!https://www.legacy-collectibles.com/harrington-richardson-model-1915-single-shot-shotgun-15520.html
Cleans up vermin wonderfully & great to pot birds the size of topknot pigeons without shredding them!
