W. W. Greener Empire SxS 12 Gauge 30" Barrels - Very Good Condition


Description:
Greener Empires are highly regarded collector's items and functional firearms, offering a blend of robust build, fine handling, and classic style.

For those looking for a vintage English shotgun to use for sporting clays or high birds, the Empire is considered an excellent addition to any cabinet. It is valued more for its "tank-like" reliability than for fine artistic engraving. Modern buyers should always have the chambers and bore measurements checked by a gunsmith to ensure they are still "in proof".

A W.W. Greener Empire shotgun review highlights its robust, well-made English craftsmanship, excellent handling, and vintage appeal, often praised for pointing well and absorbing recoil, though they can be heavy for all-day fieldwork and modifications (like chamber lengthening) require expert assessment due to their hand-built nature, making them highly valued for their build quality and distinctive charm, notes Sporting Shooter and Gun Digest. 

Key Strengths:

• Quality Construction: Extremely well-made with hand-fitted parts, typical of vintage English guns.
• Handling & Pointing: Known for shouldering and pointing well, with a lively feel, even noted as livelier than some Brownings, says Canadian Gun Nutz forum.
• Recoil Absorption: Heavier weight helps manage recoil from heavier loads, notes Sporting Shooter.
• Aesthetics: Possess a distinct vintage English charm, making them visually appealing.
• Accuracy: Very accurate, notes Sporting Shooter.
