James Mac Naughton .450 BPE DR
19/09/12 08:41 AM

My first post of my first double rifle! By James Mac Naughton of Edinburgh. 28" barrels, 8.75 pounds. Made about 1898 according to a big fancy book on English gunmakers I sneaked a look at. Steel barrels, Jones underlever, cool two-piece butt plate and almost excellent bores.

I haven't found references on the web to any other Mac Naughton double rifles. Surely this isn't the only one.

Need a little help... Would you advise against rust bluing the barrels? They're very blotchy and have been refinished to some degree in the distant past (linear scratches under the old finish) so I don't think it will hurt the value. Second, the front sight is just too tiny for me. Any advice on finding a replacement or filing one out myself? I have a small horizontal mill to use in the effort. Many thanks.
