Obviously feather light, these guns while light are known for throwing excellent patterns. Ammunition is available and we do carry it. Price is for the pair! A real bargain.

*If you like a 14" LOP the well-done extensions could be removed and replaced with a leather covered pad.

*The single barrel has a choke tube of .022 which would be a light full.

*I also will point out this is a perfect gun for the person that wants to shoot American ammunition they can find off the shelf in their hometown or the middle of South Dakota.......

This dates from 1909.

Overall, a very nice English boxlock for a more than fair price.

*Note this gun, although from about 1899 still retains at least 50% of its original case color!

*This example has at least 60% case color remaining which indicates it has seen little use in its 60-70 years of age.

*Great dimensions for many and a super value in an extremely well-made English double. Built @1930 this gun is tight and ready for the hunt.

*The picture of the castle is indeed "Barnard Castle." The castle that has given the village its name.

The lower pull back lever behind the guard is extremely ergonomic. There is some very light pitting in both barrels but only the slightest salt and pepper and we are offering this gun at a great price.

For a gun with 28" barrels and a decent LOP this gun is light at 6 lbs. 3 oz.

Built between the wars in 1925.

The Westley records date this gun to March of 1907 and made for one George Rolleston. Gunsmith Daniel Morgan has put this gun back on face and it is now ready for another lifetime of use. The nitro proofed English sleeved barrels have excellent wall thickness and choking for game shooting.

*Note the long LOP for you tall folks! If a pad was added a LOP of over 15 3/4" could be achieved.

Interesting history of C.G. Bonehill:

C. G. Bonehill was an English gunmaker from Birmingham, England who lived from 1831 to 1900 1. He established his own firm in 1851 and was recorded at 33 Charlotte Street with a factory in Morville Street in 1872 1. In 1873, he moved the whole business to the Belmont Firearms Works, Belmont Row 1. C. G. Bonehill was a Guardian of The Birmingham Proof House 1. He was related to and may have been associated with O. G. Bonehill of Belmont Firearms Works also of Birmingham 2. He held 4 US patents issued in the 1880s 2. From about 1900 to 1965, the company produced ball & shot guns and combination guns, and they made the Britannia air rifle 1. They were pioneers in the mechanization of gun manufacture, making the “Belmont Interchangeable” shotguns 1. From about 1900, C G Bonehill were the main suppliers of rifles to the “Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs” 1. The Society was founded to encourage rifle shooting amongst working class men, and it was largely responsible for establishing smallbore rifle shooting as a sport in England 1. For this purpose, old .303 Martini-Enfield rifles were re-barrelled to .22 rimfire and sold at very reasonable prices 1

*If one was to give this a new oil wood finish it would be a beautiful gun but why? For this price just get out and use it!

*The gun is tightly choked but these can be easily opened to whatever you would want for only $80 per tube.

Did you know that with us all veterans and people in the service get free shipping and that all our guns for everyone gets free return shipping if any gun does not meet their satisfaction??

So, despite the safety, I still shoot, promote and get excited about these guns as they are worth having, shooting and appreciating due to their great balanced round action and features. This grade and higher feature a rising bite third fastener similar to the coveted Rigby rising third bite. The pull back lever behind the trigger guard opens the gun and is extremely ergonomic. It is out of the way and very easy to operate.

*If you don't care for the wooden stock extension we can easily help you have it replaced with a recoil pad.

I chose at the last minute to take this rather tired looking old waitress to the shoot and like a great waitress, she performed perfectly and was simply a lot of fun.

The gun is ready to shoot as is, but you know, it has very pretty marbled French walnut so if one were to remove the extension, replace with a nice pad, give it a new oil finish, and re-black the barrels the gun would become an elegant lady.

*Remember, this we can ship direct as it is antique.

*This little 20 is in very nice condition. It balances well, has great dimensions for many, and is tight and has nice bores. The chokes are perfect for upland shooting.

*The length of pull is great for a taller person but if you are shorter don't despair. A shorter pad or butt plate can be fitted to bring the gun to your LOP. We can help guide you to a gunsmith that can do this super well and in a timely manner for a fair price ( often less than $200).

This gun is in very nice condition with much original case color remaining. I am told you can shoot shot out of the rifled barrel also so can still be used as a double barrel shotgun.
