Guns International #: 102227808
Seller's Inventory #: 5030
The elephant in the room on this gun is why does it have a minimum wall of .019 in the right barrel?
This is measured about 8" from the muzzle on top of the right barrel, a point in the bore where the load is reaching maximum velocity and pressure is dropping rapidly.
The bores measure .029 in both barrels which is as it was built so it appears this minimal wall is original.
The answer to the question is, as in many of the best British guns, the makers understood that on the last half of the barrels the pressures are quite low and they were trying to keep the balance of the guns between the hands so are often struck quite thin where the pressure is low. *** Note: To see this gun with high resolution photos and a zoom-in feature, go to the vintagedoubles main site and search for the gun ID: 5030 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.

Arrizabalaga (Pedro) Quality Sidelock with many features and at a great price
Description: Hammerless Sidelocks - Lots of features on this quality Spanish sidelock. Chopperlump barrels, hand detachable locks, bushed firing pins, Purdey hidden third bite, side clips, and articulated front trigger. Add to this near 100% case color and blue on the barrels and you can see this fine shotgun has seen very little use. For a Spanish gun it is light, almost as light as the English sidelock it copied. The elephant in the room on this gun is why does it have a minimum wall of .019 in the right barrel?
This is measured about 8" from the muzzle on top of the right barrel, a point in the bore where the load is reaching maximum velocity and pressure is dropping rapidly.
The bores measure .029 in both barrels which is as it was built so it appears this minimal wall is original.
The answer to the question is, as in many of the best British guns, the makers understood that on the last half of the barrels the pressures are quite low and they were trying to keep the balance of the guns between the hands so are often struck quite thin where the pressure is low. *** Note: To see this gun with high resolution photos and a zoom-in feature, go to the vintagedoubles main site and search for the gun ID: 5030 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection. |
