Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns show us your shotguns

This picture shows the engraving on my Webley 12 bore...

This one is short on engraving.

Winchester 101 Pigeon Featherweight 12 Ga. and a nice turkey...

Some refer to engraving as "scratchings".

Shrapnel, what's goin' on here? That "turkey gun" has no extended supertight magical Venturi-bored choke, no camo paint, and it ain't even an automagic.... And where's the camo variable scope with the "Turkey Plex" reticle?

HIGHLY irregular, sir.

How's this one???

No magazine cap weight balancer.



And when the Dog catches them you don't even need a shotgun.

Here is a nice scratched up Hume sidelever that can still shoot grouse despite it's ratty condition. These heavy old Burmingham guns sure aren't any pleasure to drag into the field...

Cool!!!!

Looks like it locks up like many sxs's of today. The Brits were waaaaay ahead of us when it came to shotgun design.

I agree, but their revolvers were butt ugly...

I have an old side lever like that Hume, it has a rifle barrel on one side in 40-65. It weights a ton on that one side,s

Battue, nice dog photos again.. How did the 28 ga. do for you this fall???? I haven't shot mine for three years or so.. For a couple years I shot all my forest grouse with it and quite a few sage grouse.. Need to get it out again..

shrapnel, nice shotguns as always.. you have some real gems.. Do You still have the Burgess folding shotgun???

It has done ok. We are batting around .300 with it. Could have been better in that I have missed some eaaaaasy shots with it, but that is ok also. However with IC choke it has hammered Birds that were centered. I've been impressed with how well the 28 does. Have shot clays with Improved choke and with the advantage of knowing where and when it impresses even more. Summation is it carries easy, shoots straight and misses are on me. Have switched off with it and the Model 12 16g and the Model 59 12. The Parker Repo 16g hopefully will get some wood time this week.

It isn't a folder, but a takedown and I still have it. Here is another nice and uncommon shotgun, a Colt model 1878 12 gauge with some engraving and an ivory bead...

Ah! Another Gem.. When I had my collection of doubles, I wanted a shootable hammer gun in the worst way.. Never did get it.. Do you shoot these old hammer guns with black powder loads.. Beautiful weapons. Thanks for the photos..

Battue, good luck on the birds.. this was the worst grouse season I have had in quite a few years.. Always next year.. Best of luck to you..

Shrap, I'm going to your estate auction. Hope it's not too soon!

Why did you get you Webley engraved to look like a bird's foot?

You can't tell without the aviators, but that is the newest Campfire moderator and his Benelli 20 gauge making a fine shot on a Sharptail in North-Central Montana on a private ranch where the owner didn't want us to be...

At one point I was up to ten.



Six have left the fold.
