Nice sxs :thumbsup:

I'd paint blue EB now worth the risk:ORLY:

Nice, hope the wall hangs out with the side load!;)

Me I hope with some help from some clever mates and some Norinco barrels!

I was thinking 1.2 to 1.5 to re barrel, don't spoil the dream!:wtfsmilie:

I'll wait till I see the rest of the barrels cause I think if they can be sleeved and welded on to the existing it will work better, ejectors will need modifying as well

Those ferking merkels keep coming my way! This is a box lock the other was a side lock

Look what came into my office today! Thought it might make a nice 45/70 double rifle with a bit of work, blew the bottom barrel and what's left of those barrel are avail. Thinking of how to do it...

I wouldn't shoot it!:wtfsmilie:

Yes I wear Nike and drive a FORD!

ElB it was about 50 thousand pounds I didn't get that far, guy said it was not unusual to have clients order a gun, with 6 weeks to finish after measuring and deciding on final finish etc, to write a...

Oh yes but to hold one, caress that 1000 hours as I did with the Purdys a H&H in London! Selling the Bach to fund it wasn't on! The even had a second hand one with "Special New Zealand Model" on it.

Yep, I look at the craftsmanship work, forget the name its not important, enjoy the hand work of a hacksaw, file and scraper, some of that work is straight art, I collected old guns as one would...

Yep but I'm not into modern CNC means sterile to me, I'm hand made old school, enjoy the works of art!

Yep and that's why I don't own a gun like that, but if I had spare $100k I'd buy a H&H, Rigby,Boss, Purdy ................ double gun

Agree like the AYA I owned very nice and well built but an AYA! I'll post some nice photos I have!

Been to both Holland and Holland and Purdy in London, gotta buy the name ! William Evans are nice as well but runner up! Rigby and Boss are equivalents of the first two

A Purdys a Purdy, a Hartman and what? May as well buy a Norinco!

Gotta store you gold some where!:ORLY:

And I SOLD IT:wtfsmilie: but times in your life change with circumstances!

I've got a good recipe on my desk at work for either bluing or browning can't remember but old one:thumbsup:

Go drool over "international guns"

I auctioned this at Christies in London about 1995, bought it in the Hawkes Bay for $800.00, won't tell ya what I sold it for but the exchange rate was very much in my favour, dollars to pounds!...

Here another one that's passed through!261892619026191261922619326194
Spanish AYA, Aguirre Y Aranzabal copy of a Merkel, with cross bolt locking, side locks gold washed inside, nicely engraved,...

This old gun hasn't been apart for 40 yrs, I just keep it stored in a box and see it every 5 yrs or so! Thank you for the comments
