George Gibbs 16-Bore Boxlock Ejector | 28" Barrels | .030+ Walls | Neutral Cast
Description: A fine small-bore boxlock ejector by George Gibbs of Bristol, built in 1930 and bearing a serial number with a letter prefix—indicating it was completed in the trade, rather than in-house at the Redcliffe Street workshop. Even so, the quality of this example is excellent. The unsigned action is beautifully preserved, with crisp border and acanthus scroll engraving. The jointing and mechanics are superb—this gun opens and closes like a bank-vault. It features 28" barrels bearing a 3-Ton Nitro proof. Both tubes have excellent wall thickness, with minimum readings over .030". The bores are mirror-bright and ring clear. The stock is highly figured and remains in fantastic condition, with modern shooting dimensions and a neutral cast suitable for both right- and left-handed use. An elegant and shootable 16-bore from one of Britain’s well-respected provincial gunmakers.
