No, but that's very interesting. Not too sure I'm crazy about the rear sight being placed so far back, and they need to chamber the 9,3x74R, but it looks interesting. If they are going to be exhibiting at SCI I'll have to take a close look.

Truth be told, I'm a little concerned about two things.
A straight/English grip on a DGR - i.e., controlability issues.
A comment I ran across elsewhere, that these are made on shotgun actions - which I don't know is true or false.

What's that line around the barrels just a touch forward of the hinge pin?

That's where the barrels are joined to the mono block. No Chopper Lump Barrel at this price point

Appears to be a Huglu/CZ shotgun conversion. Not a very nicely done monoblock/barrel joint. As MD observed, the rear sight is a bit rearward, and to me, the quarter rib is kinda short. Other than that, it looks pretty good! Jeff

The front sight looks a bit odd to me too.

I wonder if they'll make a drilling? I've been fascinated with those lately, and would buy one if I could get up the requisite amount of FRN$'s.

the quarter rib is kinda short. Maybe it's a 1/8th rib.

Their shop isn't far from here and I've been there to have some work done on both a 1911 and a 10/22. Maybe I should go by and see if they one in stock.

If the work is the same quality as that they did on my S&W 625, and the quality they are know for in all their work, it won't be long before we all wish we had gotten one when the prices were this low. Good people doing good work, that's what I found at Clarks. My only complaint is their web site lists a 450 Nitro Express: as I have said before here at the campfire - which one? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.450_Nitro_Express this site expresses it well, ".450 Nitro Express is a name given to several cartridges designed for the purpose of hunting large game such as elephant, not just one specific cartridge." A minor issue, but heck this is a campfire discussion.

There is a link to a video on the website. Guns and Gear, link on the left side of the page.
Mr. Clark confirms the CZ shotgun conversion on the video. a 405 Win is fired five times. This rifle has a pistol grip and the sight appears much further away from the eye than the photo posted.
What caught my attention was a Clark hand load for the 405 with a 400 gr bullet @ 2,150 fps.

If it's a CZ shotgun conversion, should we refer to it as an "American-Made" Double Rifle?

If it's coming out of Jimmy Clark's shop, I'll call it American CSMC, Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company, has a 20ga SxS slug gun that they've been marketing that is 100% American made, don't know if they plan to do a full out rifle.

That video with the 405 on a 20ga receiver was cool, I want one.

Been watching a few on Gunbroker, and have been trying to find what a new Merkel 96 costs-for the plain Jane version. Probably more than I can afford right now, at least not without selling half of my present collection.
