Description:
*** JUST IN FROM THE UK *** Recently refurbished in the UK by Toby Barclay of Heritage Guns this lovely old Boss hammergun, no. 3374, was made in 1877 and needed some work to restore its former glory. The restoration project has been a great success: the barrels were TIG sleeved to their original length, breech face laser repaired and wood given a new lease of life. The highly figured wood now glows with fabulous condition and with its 2-3/4” chambers, fresh nitro proof and great dimensions, it will be particularly desirable to any connoisseur of fine English hammerguns who wishes to shoot their pride and joy. *** The action is of traditional bar action design and features: Double triggers; Brazier rebounding, bar action locks; High level ‘Dolphin’ hammers; Finely chiseled percussion fences; Broad toplever operating a single bite bolt; Patent snap lever forend catch. There are laser repairs to the breech face. The gun balances just in front of the hinge pin. Gun weight 7lb 5oz. Engraving style Best foliate scroll by Sumner. Locks signed ‘BOSS & CO’. Trigger pulls measure approximately: Front trigger 3 ¾ lbs Rear trigger 4 ¼ lbs. *** The TIG sleeved barrels are 30" in length, chambered for 2-3/4” (70mm) cartridges and are of brazed 'dovetail' lump construction with soft soldered ribs. Top rib is of the smooth, concave, game type. Birmingham reproof for 70mm nitro powder cartridges in 2019. The right barrel is bored 0.727 with a constriction of 0.015 for Light Modified choke. Minimum wall thickness is 0.038. The left barrel is bored 0.727 and has a constriction of 0.022 for Modified choke. Minimum wall thickness is 0.038. *** Straight Hand Stock and Splinter Forend are crafted from highly figured walnut. The stock is cast off for a right-handed shot, features a gold oval engraved with Old English initials, well-defined drop points and is finished with a 1” leather covered ‘Silver’s’ recoil pad. The approximate 22 lines per inch checkering has been refreshed to its original design. The stock is finished with a traditional linseed oil-based preparation as used on best guns by one of the top English makers. This finish uses no grain fillers to achieve its deep, smooth luster, only many hours of alternate build and flatting off of the surface. Stock dimensions are 15” over a 1” leather pad by 1-1/2” by 2-1/2”. Cast off for the righthand shot. *** Great gun for clays or game. *** US Agent for Heritage Guns UK.
