Description:
*** SOLD *** This quality Birmingham made hammergun has 29-1/8” nitro proofed and well figured Damascus barrels, double triggers and extractors. It is a back action gun typical of the last quarter of the 19th century and was converted to rebounding hammers at some point in time. It has nice engraving on the locks, hammers, sidelever, forearm iron and frame. The gun was made by Fletcher as can be seen on the lockplates. The rib, however, is inscribed “Adams & Co. 52 Finsbury Pavement London”. Adams was a local London retailer and the gun was so marked in the practice of the time. A very nicely balanced and well made hammergun ideal for Vintager competitions or for a day afield. Weighs 6lb 13oz. *** Barrels were reproofed for nitro smokeless powders in Birmingham with 2-1/2” chambers and rated 3 Tons Per Square Inch. Right barrel is bored 0.733 with 0.002 constriction for Cylinder choke. Mimimum wall thickness is 0.0030. Left barrel is bored 0.731 with 0.026 constriction for Modified choke. Minimum wall thickness is 0.031. *** The straight grip stock and splinter forearm have some figure and have been nicely refinished. Checkering is good. The forearm is secured with a wedge style fastener. Length of Pull is 14-1/4” over a steel butt plate. Drop at Comb is 1-5/8” and Drop at Heel is 2-1/4’. *** A quality Birmingham made hammer gun at a very reasonable price. Good way to step into the world of hammerguns. *** Please note that the photographs are part of the description. Not for sale where prohibited by state or local laws. Buyer is responsible for all shipping, insurance, and any other related charges. I give a 3-day non-firing inspection period which begins when it arrives at the buyer’s FFL or specified address if the gun is classified as an Antique. Returns at buyer’s expense.
