10 bore DR saga
02/02/22 07:28 AM

Hi guys, I won this in an auction before Christmas

Made by E M Reilly it is an early DR with non rebounding locks and a clever patent to pull them back
26 inch barrels and exactly 12 lbs it is substantial without being unwieldy

Described as in good condition with old repair to hand see later

Lion and Tiger in the engraving

Sights are 50, 100, 150 and 200 yards, platinum centre line and engraved leaves

a patented cam on the front of the hammers moves the"L" shaped lever to pull back the strikers
Obsolete when rebounding hammers came in

Catastrophe!! when I received it the crack was 1/4" and soon fell apart
My repairer told me it was a complete "bodge up" (Bubba to some guys) probably intended to cach some one out in an internet auction

He put 4 carbon fibre rods in to strengthen it and did a very good job i think
A re-stock in the UK would take forever
As it was a difficult an d sh**ty job he did it over Christmas as every time he looked at it he would "put it back for another day"

Fortunately it gas turned out well, he was very good to repair it

I will be happy to shoot it now, but anyway Black powder loads with Round Ball as a light load?

The auction house paid 75% of the cost

Comments welcome
