What do you think of this drilling?
http://www.tjf-jagdwaffen.de/english/index.htm
Features of this type:
* milled steel box
* Anson-Deeley-System with trigger sears at the bottom
* double shotgun trigger without hair trigger
* Two - Lock - System with switch for bullet shot at the right side
* stock made of walnut (quality of wood, shape and dimensions of stock are manufactured as requested by customer)
* engraving as requested by customer
* also available with just pure side tins
Gauges available:
shotgun barrels: 20/70, 20/76, 28/70
rifle barrels: .22 long, .22 lfB, .22 WMR
***
Personally I like it. A .22 Magnum in a 20-gauge side by side shotgun in what appears to be a very neat little package. NitroX

It would be perfect for walked up rough shooting on my local syndicate especially with the .22 WM barrel for hares. I'd be worried about knocking it around though. Beautiful looking drilling.

Tube in the top rib is my favorite config of light drilling.
The .22 mag isn't so bad either, there are some very nice offerings for the .22mag.
I'd been looking for a 28/28/hornet in the same configuration for quite some time, still haven't given up on it.
What's the price?
Where's it at?
I want it...

I really do wish I had more time to shoot my guns and shoot the shit about shooting my guns lately...
But here's a couple images of something I found a while back.
6-1/2lbs of Waldlaufer Bliss!
Prussian, 16x16x22lr
At least this one is ultra quiet and accurate with CB Long (from CCI) and the Aguila SSS (60gr subsonic) loads.
I have a clear 25yds with an ultra-solid backstop here that I can hit in between little projects.
The Aguila is stable and accurate at 25yds, I hope to try it at 75yds or so on Coyote some time soon!
Nice to have found something recently that I can shoot around the Downtown property without causing too much of a stir...
Cheers

It looks very nice to me. I'd like to know how much a piece like that goes for these days.

Buscheman-
I too would like to see more photos of that drilling if you have them handy.
These shots of mine are not nearly up to the standard that I usually maintain - but I've been terribly busy and this is what I had time for that day.
I have about two grand in it, by way of cash and trade.
I haven't seen any similar guns available on the US market for quite some time though.
I'm sure that the seller could have gotten more if he'd marketed it.
Do you have the optic and mounts for your drilling?
Cheers
Tinker

It appears I got hung up on Tinker's pictures and missed where RLT said he got an e-mail saying they start at 4250 Euro ($6100.00 US). That's about where the originals were hanging for a while but that was quite a few years back. The last old piece I saw was a side-lock 16X16X22LR (I believe it was a Sauer) the last year that the Vintagers/World SXS Championship was held in Millbrook, NY. Unfortunately it was the victim of a not so good re-furb so I passed. Given the economy I have no idea what the Pre-WW2 types would go for today. I like seeing that they're still being made because they're a hoot for small game. It's nice to have the option of whacking a stationary rabbit or squirrel in the bean with the .22LR. The manufacturer’s base price, in MHO, isn't bad. I would think most drilling folks would see them as a "have to have one someday" thing if they don't already have one.
As to the piece that I posted earlier, finding it was as the Britt's say "a spot of luck". It just happened to come up for sale when I was fresh on the hunt for one and the funds were waiting to be spent. It was one of those right place - right time deals.
Below is the other picture I had prior to the post and the third I just snapped a few minutes ago. I know, it's kind of lazy of me just snapping one and putting it out there but it's a Saturday night after dinner out with some friends, the little Mrs. is out like a light, and here I am checking out gun stuff with my freshly poured Courvoisier night-cap sitting on the desk next to me. Oh well, there's plenty that could be worse.
Cheers!

Tinker,
Sorry, I forgot. No, I do not have any mounts for the above as yet.
Apparently the old "Schienen" drillings (rifle barrel in the rib) are kind of scarce so you were lucky as well to have found one.

Lucky indeed.
I feel I got into mine for what would amount to a gift of a price.
I've had my eyes and ears open for one of these for quite some time, and the one I got is perfect for my interest and use.
The mount system on your gun looks pretty easy to reproduce (for rings that is), do you have metalworking skills and equipment?
You should get it set up with a little piece of glass...
Cheers

Good morning Tinker,
Actually I really haven't given the idea of mounting a scope on my drilling (above) much thought. I suppose that's probably because everything I've shot thus far, to include targets, hasn't been any further out than fifty yards. As it is the thing shoots as accurately as I can see, that can change I'm sure. The scope rail is rather simple in design and I would think it would be an easy (or easier than most) mount job. I do have the skills and the machines for the job but most unfortunately I am up to my eyeballs in other projects. What would be sweet is to find a set from the day, clean them up, and have them available should I want to do some longer distance hole punching. Now that you bring up the idea, I would be open to buying a set if someone has one for this rail design (and dimension of course). I don’t know if this rail design is common or not but I have seen the same rail before on other small bore German guns.
