The thing is with a double you need to run it full noise to get the barrels regulated

I can feel your shoulder.
I put about 134gr of h1000 in my Gibbs, but behind a heavier pill, and that is very punishing .
Enjoy and take good care of it.
Can we go hunting for the famous Canterbury Black Panther....?
That would workQuote:

Well we did have a tiger problem here, but that 500 nitro for black powder express solved it admittedly with much less style. There are still a few cougar's around though.
I expect it will primarily be used deer stalking by me and perhaps I will go chase a scrub bull with it.Quote:

Going by the condition of its bores I would expect that it hasn't been fired for over 100 years and the exterior just has a few cabinet bumps and bruises
I will make some more cases today.
Powder coat some more bullets.
Test it with 130 grains BP to try and bring the shots a little closer together.
Clean and oil the walnut.
And the rifle is good to go for hunting.
The case I have to refit for it to go in will take a lot longer to get sorted.
But when it is done it will look stunning
Stunning rifle, probably to much gun for my skinny ass though
Looks the go for scrub bulls, that would be a fun hunt perfect for that big ol rifle
I'm only 75 kg, a bit old and broken and it seems pretty manageableQuote:

We have some wild cats around here..

It is outwardly in good condition and has a lot of character
Attachment 269903
The inside is totally moth and rodent eaten
Attachment 269904
But is a nice fit for the Greener and a full internal refit will make it look like it has always been in there
Attachment 269905
As per usual there was no key. But I've done a few of these now and my Dickson double rifle case Key nearly swung the internals over.
So 30 minutes with a new blank and a careful smoke and file to fit and I have a key made without needing to remove the lock
Attachment 269906
Now I will move on to stabilizing the transit labels
That case and labels are so good, that sucker has done some ocean miles
