On the German side of things ...

In German "drei" is three. With regards to firearms "drilling" is any combination of three. This can be the more common SXS shotgun with a rifle barrel parked below or ...

A double rifle drilling "doppelbuchsdrilling" wherein "doppel" is two and "buchse", in this case, means rifle. Not sure if the double rifle drilling always has to have a shot barrel below.

A "Bockdrilling" where "bock" means over/under and any combination of three.

Then there is the three shotgun barrel combination or the three rifle barrel combination. Every once in a while we see the three shotgun barrel combination but I personally haven't seen three rifle barrels ... yet.

The German term for the SXS configuration of a rifle and a shotgun barrel (called a Cape Gun by some) is "Buchsflinte", again where "buchse" is rifle and the shotgun barrel "flinte". The over/under configuration of this combination is called a "Bock Buchsflinte", sometimes seen abbreviated on the forums as a "BBF".

For the double rifle types the Germans refer to them as "Doppelbuchse" (SXS) and "Bockdoppelbuchse" (O/U).

In all this you can expect to see a wide range of rifle calibers and the same shotgun gages you'd see in other countries. "Back in the day" the customer could order just about anything.

Hope I have this correct after these many years but if not I trust our German friends can get such in order.

… not wanting to assume anything I’d sure like to know what the official German terms are for the three shotgun barrel and three rifle barrel drillings are. German gun folks?
