Rusty,

When at the Las Vegas show a couple of years ago, I made a point of going to the Famars stand
as the word I had been given was that the work s f very good quality.

The VP took apart a Hammer Ejector Shotgun (which is what I wanted to look at) and the workmanship was superb.


Interesting on the Famars web page.
"and long tang, which makes the grip area of the stock strong enough for the big Nitro Express calibers."

Long Tangs were more often found on High End Sidelock double rifles (Holland, Purdey are two I have seen)
to make the wrist area stronger to compensate for the metal removed for the locks. Of course it also allows more
engraving. Interesting that they are putting it on a Box Lock.


They also seem to have really thought through all of the features and design of the doubles they make.
"Safety is manual, automatic on request" + others.

Any comments ?
