The trigger is single selectable. The drop Comb 1.5. The drop heel is 2.5. The LOP is 14.5. There is slight cast off. These double tips the scale at 6 pounds 4 ounces and balances very nicely on the hinge pin. The game seen engraving is done by hand and is beautiful. The wood is grade 6 and is hand checkered. A little back story on this 1620EL. It was previously sold when it arrived at its destination the stock had chip in the toe. If you use your imagination you can figure this one out. I contacted Merkel’s head gun smith to discuss options, a new stock was $2500 and a year lead time. He recommended that I put a pad on it. He removed the section with the chip and added a Decelerator pad. The LOP is 14.5 from the trigger to the pad. The Pad and the spacer are a hair over ¾ on an inch thick. The LOP from the trigger to the end of the woos is right around 13 5/8. When they gun come from Merkel they come with a plastic but plate do a pad can be added if desired. Below is a description from Merkel’ssite.
I stock a vast array of Caesar Guerini, Fabarm, Syren, Blaser, Merkel, Nighthawk Custom, Cabot Gun and many more vintage guns too. It is impossible for me to list everything I will special order you anything your heart desires. Thanks for looking.

Meisterstück side-by-side shotguns are light and wonderfully elegant hunting guns; fine representatives of the good old days. The side-by-side arrangement of the barrels is a classical design principle of hunting guns - this principle has been applied in Suhl since the early days. Even if the Merkel brothers were more committed to the over-and-under gun at the start, the Merkel philosophy was soon devolved to the traditional side-by-side gun. An example of this is the aesthetic line of the slim soldered barrels - a trademark of Merkel Meisterstücks.
Whether with Anson & Deeley locks or sidelocks, the Suhl shotguns soon developed their own style and cleverly improvised on the existing systems and solutions.
Besides the classical barrel hook, Suhl soon adopted the cross bolt developed by William Greener - which represented gunmaking at its finest.
Merkel maintains the elegance and optical lightness of these shotguns by consistent adherence to traditions. The individually adapted receivers also play a role. Three different receivers are manufactured for the three calibres on offer - calibre-adapted. This keeps the receivers slim and the guns light and responsive. With the shotguns too, steel is interlocked against steel and the Merkel top-down principle is applied. Thus the receiver of a side-by-side shotgun is constructed in such a way that it can withstand the same gas pressure as a Safari rifle.
