3 BARREL SHOTGUN

Post by DuncaninFrance » Tue Nov 01, 2011 10:32 am

Thought you might like to see these pictures.
The gun is a 3 barrel side by side ( by side!)
It is 28g in the outer barrels and 20g in the centre one. Made by Didier-Drevet, I think in 1902 with Euréka barrels.

It was built by firm founded in 1644 by Abel Didier. The company was bought by Verney-Carron in 1966

A very interesting configuration , I would like to see how it handles , The only down side is it would be difficult to reload in a hurry when you have two different calibre cartridges to carry . That aside how much are they asking for it ?????????

Why the two calibers I wonder ?
And in what order do the barrels fire ?
Still, a neat solution to needing an extra shot, I could see me needing one for clays :lol:
