Thankyou Daryl old friend I see what you mean......

Reason I asked is that I thought that what with it being fully rifled, it was meant mostly for heavier conicals-be they good or bad-and that this is what makes it a full rifle rather than a paradox or shot and ball gun.

I asked for load details, lets see whats next........oh and I contacted the gunsmiths in Belfast, Ireland! They can give me the history via the serial number. Just love those smaller high quality makers that used to be, ha ha!

I take it you saw the gun on here? Amazing looking Damascus tubes on her.......bit of cleaned up pitting on the sidelocks though.

So if this is the 2.5 brass case gun, what would she be ok for hunting wise?

I am buying a book-the gun hound and rifle in Ceylon. The chap in the book says the 12-bore rifle was much better than the bpe guns, even the 577.....he says there was no comparison. Now, was he using a normal 12-bore like this one, or a 14 lb 3" magnum gun made for 9 drams?!!!

Thankyou

Ben
