Description:
SOLD PENDING FUNDS

For sale is a Merkel 147e 20ga side by side shotgun. 28" barrels choked modified and improved cylinder. This gun has fired exactly two boxes of Winchester Super Target shells to check the pattern (patterns excellently) and remains in nearly mint condition. The screws are all perfect and have never been turned. The only discernible mark on the gun is a little scuff in the finish at the tip of the fore end, which can likely be polished out, since it appears to be in the finish only, not the wood. The bores are mirrors, lockup is tight, trigger pulls are crisp and light. Includes box and paperwork/owners manual. This is the model you want; side clips, cocking indicators, no disfiguring bolt through the stock head, double triggers, made in the early-mid 2000's, the prime years for a post-GDR Merkel. Beautifully executed deep relief hand engraving is signed by the master engraver. The game scenes are hares on the one side, partridge on the other.  Measurements are approximately 14 1/2" LOP; 1 1/2" DAC; 2 1/4" DAH, and the stock is slightly cast-off for right handed shooters, about 1/4". Weight is about 6 pounds, but I do not have an accurate enough scale to give you an exact reading. My luggage scale is reading a hair under 6, for what it's worth, but that is not gospel. The gun will ship from my FFL to yours only. If you would like a longer history of positive feedback, my eBay rating is 217 at 100% positive, handle is cbro553. My FFL knows me and has shipped multiple guns for me, and can provide a reference if you so require. USPS Money Order or certified check is preferred. 3 day no-fire inspection period, shipping charges non refundable. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions if you're considering pulling the trigger. Thanks!

Note: There is NO rust on this gun, the red visible at the hinge pin is grease.
