SUPER Light Weight 12g Over and Under None Ejector shotgun from Bretton in France.
These have EXTREMELY unusual actions. If you have never seen one you are more than welcome to call in and take a look. The barrels slide forward to open the action and allow loading / extraction. The lever detailed to the right side of the action opens and locks the slide.
I say LIGHT WEIGHT. Try 4 lbs 13 oz. (2.187 Kg). That is near enough a bag of sugar in each hand. Barrels are 27 ¾” (715mm) multi-choke. To change these the ‘figure of 8’ barrel clamp does need to be loosened off / removed then refitted etc. once swapped out. The gun comes with the existing chokes which measure to approx. Full and Cylinder. They are detailed as CH and LA in a small circle.
The 14” 355mm) stock has a nice enough straight but strong grain pattern with a half or shallow Rounded Prince of Wales Grip. This has a bright finished lightweight alloy action with some nice scroll engraving featured.
IDEAL for a lady, youngster or smaller framed man. Ideal for anyone who simply NEEDS a lightweight gun. Obviously I would recommend using a similarly lightweight cartridge as the gun is not going to help absorb that much recoil. All in excellent condition throughout the gun comes in at overall length of 44” (1118mm).
As things happen two came in from the same man at the same time! CERTAINLY something very unusual it will definitely get a few looks and questions when it comes out of a slip. Either are well worth the money for that aspect alone.
