New Addition- 3 Barrel Gun Company
16/04/13 01:25 PM

Just picked up this renovated example of one of the few American Drillings built somewhere between 1905 and 1908 by the Three Barrel Gun Company. 12X12X32-40, shotgun chambers are 2 1/2". Only had time to run 5 rounds thru the gun before our weather turned sour... First groups not bad since my old eyes have real trouble with those little sites... All serial # match and it has a 3 digit serial#. There were only about 2,000 guns built by this company so they are hard to come by.

Brief history, Frank Hollenbeck started the Hollenbeck Gun Company in 1901, ran it until it went into receivership in 1905. Assets bought by investor who renamed it to the Three Barrel Gun Company and opened it in 1905. Closed in 1908. Again assets bought and by investors and reopened factory as Royal Gun Company. Finally closed for good in 1910 and never reopened.
