Seller's Inventory #: 3860
Sliding breech guns built by Darne are well made but to properly operate them you have to almost firmly "horse" the action for it to operate properly.
The Charlin sliding breech is much smoother and easier to use.
It is rumored the Charlin breech slides on ball bearings it is so smooth but I have had gunsmiths tell me "there is no ball bearings in those guns!" *** 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: 3860 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.

Charlin 16g. Considered the best of the
Classic French Sliding Breech Shotguns
Description: Boxlocks - Of the sliding breech guns the Charlin has always been considered the best. While very plain this little 16g. is extremely well made. Sliding breech guns built by Darne are well made but to properly operate them you have to almost firmly "horse" the action for it to operate properly.
The Charlin sliding breech is much smoother and easier to use.
It is rumored the Charlin breech slides on ball bearings it is so smooth but I have had gunsmiths tell me "there is no ball bearings in those guns!" *** 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: 3860 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection. |
