Austrian Drilling 16 ga. S x S uppers, & 11.2 X 55 m.m. (?)
      24/04/08 09:45 AM


Hi All !

I've run into either an Austrian or German Double Hammered Drilling that needs
some work but has potential. The Drilling is purported to have been made around
1920.

The top ( 2 ) S X S barrels are 16 gauge X 2.5 ''. The lower rifle barrel according
to the Cerro Metal chamber casting indicates out @ 11.2 X 55 m.m. long up to
the rifling.

From researching many of the Nitro Express Forums I've seen mention of 10.75 x 68 m.m.;
11.2 X 72 m.m. ; & 11.2 X 60 m.m. ...BUT ''NO ? '' Mention (@ least that I've seen)
of a 11.2 X 55 m.m.caliber.

Can anyone enlighten me to as whether or not this 11.2 X 55 caliber existed,or
can there be a problem with the casting ? Is ammo commercially available for an
11.2 X 55 m.m. caliber ?

Also what would be the high end & low end Dollar - Wise on a Drilling in this
caliber combination ? It is basically devoid of any engraving .

Thanks;
Mike
