1920 WW Greener 12 Gauge Boxlock Grade D 2.5 SXS 30" Barrel - VG
Description:
Overview
The W.W. Greener Grade D is a classic vintage English shotgun built on the durable Anson & Deeley boxlock action. The "2.5" refers to its 2 1/2 inch (65mm) chambers. Because it is a vintage firearm, it is crucial to understand its safety and history.
Key Specifications & Features
- Maker: W.W. Greener, Birmingham, England
- Model/Grade: Grade D (Anson & Deeley action)
- Action: Boxlock non-ejector or ejector depending on the specific sub-variation (DH models denote ejectors)
- Chamber Size: 2 1/2 inches
- Dating: Greener "D" guns were primarily manufactured from the late 19th century into the early 1900s.
Ammunition Safety
- Shell Length: Because the chambers are2 1/2 inches, you must only shoot 2 1/2-inch (65mm) cartridges or shorter. Never use modern 2 3/4-inch or 3-inch ammunition.
- Pressure: Older English guns were not designed for the high pressures of modern loads. It is highly recommended to use low-pressure or light target loads (such as those from specialty makers like RST Shotshells).
- Proof Status: Depending on the proof marks stamped on the water table of your barrels (which might indicate black powder or early nitro), you should have a certified gunsmith verify the barrel wall thickness and ensure it is safe to fire.
