New Double 10 Bore

[Splitear]

A friend of mine has been on the lookout for a double barrel shotgun for me, and this week he came through. For the hefty sum of $75, I find myself in possession of this beautiful antique 10 bore gun marked “Wm Greenfell”.

The left side lock has a bad sear spring and a needs a new hammer screw. Rather than fix it myself, I’m going to send both locks to Cabin Creek for repair/tuning. The bores look to be in pretty decent condition (Birmingham proofed) and they pass the “ring test”. I’m hopeful that after the lock repairs I’ll have a fine shooting old shotgun.

Nice find!  Looking forward to future posts when you get to shoot it. Would be fun to take a gobbler with that baby.
