Side by Side Shotguns

[Thuer]

This is my Trulock Bross. Made in Ireland about 1869. It is an realy beautifull side by side shotgun. The pics arnt that great becouse the licht on the balcony was terrible.

The best pheasant gun I ever owned was a Beretta 626 Onyx in 12 gauge with 26 inch barrels, and chambered for 3-inch shells. What a light, quick handling field gun, and perfect for pheasant in the deep corn. Man, I am sorry I let that one go. . .

I'm down to 4 and one I'm babysitting for my brother in law. I sold off any double that would not fit me, excessive drop, etc (Fox Nitro Special). and also two hammer Parkers. One was a 16ga G grade and the other a 12 ga underlever.

Here's what's left: 12 ga Parker V grade, straight stock.

12 ga Fox Sterlingworth (originally a rusted dented hulk missing buttstock entirely.

12 ga L.C. Smith Waterfowler

20 ga L.C. Smith Featherweight

Remington Model 1900

I purchased a new S&W Elite Gold 20 ga. this year. I'm very happy with it. Great grouse gun and the workmanship is top shelf.

I'm startin' to worry again.

I put off reading this thread for a while. So now I read it and made a scary discovery. Both Caje and Feral have my shotgun! Way back in 1974 I wanted a shotgun. My old 870 just wasn't getting the job done, so I went shopping and located a BSS with 26" IC/M barrels. It was outrageously expensive at the time $274.50. But I'd squirreled away the money and I bought it (with my wife's permission.)

I've recently seen a couple at the gun shows, all approaching $1500. So I'm not selling it, and I'm not buying another.

I have a small collection of coach guns. Any shotgun that looks good for under $300 is a take home.

I wouldn't start to worry too much unless you start getting the itch to go to law school. Then you should get VERY afraid!!!!!

Been there, done that. Then one day I walked out the front door. I realized I didn't want to do that all my life. No offense (and I've since met some good ones) but at that time I realized I'd never met a law student or professor I liked, or would like to be similar to. Its a shocking revelation when it happens. I don't consider it two wasted years, it was just an eye opener. We learn some lessons the expensive way.

I have 2 - a 1960 vintage 12ga Beretta Silver Hawk and a 1945 vintage 12ga Winchester 24. I like doubles. The best I have had prior than these was an assortment of Fox and Stevens doubles.

I am honored to own a Winchester Model 21

I have a Darne double also. I saw one in the Shooter's Bible years ago and it took me 35 years to find one at the same time I had money!!

Looking at these hammerless shotguns got me to wondering if they would be considered striker fired guns . . . you know, like a Glock.

Not sure if this was tongue in cheek--but most "hammerless" shotguns simply have an internal hammer that looks very similar to an external hammer.
