J. Wilkes Single-Barrel Side Lock 20 Gauge – Damascus Barrel, Cyril Adams Collection
This exceptionally rare J. Wilkes 20-gauge single-barrel shotgun is a masterclass in minimalism, balance, and bespoke British craftsmanship. Built in the golden era of fine gunmaking and selected by none other than Cyril Adams—the legendary connoisseur of English guns—this piece reflects the kind of elegance and mechanical subtlety that defined Adams’ personal preferences.
The gun features a 28-inch Damascus steel barrel, finely patterned and beautifully preserved, highlighting the classic forging techniques that Damascus is known for. There is no rib, allowing for a clean sight picture aided by a flat matted section at the breech. The barrel is choked appropriately for a versatile single-shot field gun and locks up tight with excellent barrel-to-action fit.
The action is unique: a true side lock with a single lock plate on the right side and a single trigger—a configuration rarely seen and mechanically efficient. The rounded edges of the action body give the gun a smooth, flowing aesthetic and contribute to a comfortable, natural mount. The action is lightly engraved with classic English scroll and retains a soft coin finish, speaking to the restrained elegance that defines top-tier British single guns.
Stocked in richly figured English walnut, the gun wears an English straight-hand grip with fine hand-cut checkering and a leather-covered recoil pad. The measurements are well-suited for tall or long-armed shooters, likely set up to Cyril Adams’ own dimensions:
- Length of Pull: 15 1/4"
- Drop at Comb: 1 1/4"
- Drop at Heel: 2"
- Cast: Neutral
Weighing in at just 4 lbs. 13 oz., the gun is an absolute delight to carry and swing—light enough for a full day in the field, yet steady and controllable. Its perfectly neutral balance and crisp trigger pull reinforce the quality of its build and the hand-selected nature of Cyril’s collection.
Single-barrel shotguns of this quality and configuration are exceedingly scarce, especially in 20 gauge with Damascus barrels and side lock construction. That it comes from the personal collection of Cyril Adams, one of the most respected voices in British shotgun importing and fitting, only deepens its significance.
For the advanced collector, traditionalist, or sportsman looking for the rarest expression of British gunmaking, this J. Wilkes 20ga side lock single-barrel is more than a shotgun—it’s a curated legacy piece.
