    Haven't fired it in 40 yrs, I must take it out and put some BP rounds thru it, it's as tight as the snappers from memory, remember firing at a flock of ducks, directly over head at and about 3 miles high! Stuff me one in the middle fell out of the sky and nearly hit me! Use to shoot many hares and rabbits with it when I was at college out at Kaituna west of Masterton

    My Husqvana combination gun, 28 gauge/ .577 cal. RH barrel twist LH barrel straight rifling. RH 2-1/2" chamber very accurate, LH 3" chamber for cardboard and felt wadded shotgun, but have shot .577 lead projectile, drops more than the RH barrel. Built like a double rifle not a shotgun, fairly heavy, nice to shoot, has 3 leaf rear sight. Owners name on barrel, not mine! Cheek piece in stock with steel butt plate, nice hard cased blued/ browned action, deep blued barrelsName:  image.jpg

    Now macca me old china judging by the size of them there lumps of cordite and lead youre flinging through the old girl,Im sure as hell not volunteerin to play wicket keeper.
    in fact im not suprised a bloody bird would fall out of the sky with a lump of lead like that up its jacksie!. that sorta stuff is whats used to drive commonsense in to politicians ;no wait a minute ,thats a little too optimistic.Ah bugger it one whistlin past their ears at least should make em sit up and take notice.
    actually ive got an old one here which was my late dads grandfathers(Circa mid 1860s,we think)-loverly english piece though ive rendered it non op as it was too dangerous(sloppy action badly pitted damascus barrels) and both firing pins were buggered.I might dig it out and post a little on it.

    maca 49,great photos, i love the huskie.the swedes made great guns, very solid. that hollis single,i noticed the screw on the top level is not screwed in right.these screws are schampered so that they rest flush.so it either needs to be tightened or it has been overscrewed over the years, it which case it needs to be packed out, a washer made out of gasket paper should do the trick.remember el boraccho's post, don't use an ordinary screwdriver,which are tapered to the slot, use a gunsmithing one,parallel to the slot,or grind one to suit. also that damaged top strap.if you remove the action from the stock, an expert tig welder should fix this.you then could get it engraved. you may already know this stuff, so apologies if you do.

    Yep, plus I have set of hollow ground screw heads that you buy in a kit. I do make a point of checking that it is the right head for the right screw i.e. no slop at all

    This old gun hasn't been apart for 40 yrs, I just keep it stored in a box and see it every 5 yrs or so! Thank you for the comments

    I auctioned this at Christies in London about 1995, bought it in the Hawkes Bay for $800.00, won't tell ya what I sold it for but the exchange rate was very much in my favour, dollars to pounds! Never recommend doing that unless you have some one in the UK to pick up if it doesn't sell, thankfully I got a good sale, otherwise it had 6 weeks to collect if it didn't! These are photos of old photos
