JOSEPH LANG 12G SIDE BY SIDE HAMMER SHOTGUN.

****’STOCK, ACTION AND CHAMBERS’ ONLY.**** THIS GUN IS TO EITHER SLEEVE OR DECOMMISSION BEFORE SALE. ONE OF THE BARRELS HAS DEEP PITTING RENDERING THE GUN OUT OF PROOF.

NO, I CANNOT ‘JUST SELL YOU IT’. It can be sent to your preferred RFD for any work to be carried out and submitted to proof from there. OR we can do the work here prior to actually completing any sale. Anyone interested by all means please get in touch and we can discuss procedure.

Currently the barrels are 29 ¾” (755mm). Choking is irrelevant as replacement sleeved barrels would be specified to your own requirements. The gun does look to be re-stocked with a pull of 14 5/8” (372mm) bringing an overall length of 46 5/16” (1176mm). If not then certainly refinished with the chequering re-cut. Weight as is tips in at 6 Lbs 14 oz (3.114 Kg). Again this is likely to alter depending on the replacement barrels.

This is a London Gun from one of the higher end makers. It seems a shame not to give it a ‘second chance’ and someone the pleasure of shooting it again. Yes, it will de-commission to hand on a wall and look every bit as good as it does. For not that much more than double the cost of doing it the gun could also have a brand new set of barrels. That basically turns it into a brand new gun as far as its shooting life goes. Given it will be well over 100 years old now that means it has good potential to see the next millennium in!

If all that does not convince you then consider the stock alone. A replacement side by side hammer gun stock is well in excess of £1000 by itself. If this is, as suspected the value already invested in this gun means it should get that ‘third’ chance at staying around. At this asking price, even with additional costs of the work you still have a VERY inexpensive gun for what it is.
