Thread: secondhand shotguns

H AND F have akkars sxs in 28g and in two grades a mate bought one its an ok gun quite short in the stock and a slightly unusual stock as in its not quite a english straight grip allmost a swan neck stock but not quite hmmmm it seems well built but there oil finish leaves a bit to be desired but the price is right ,not as well finished as a yildiz or a khan for that matter ,i have an akkar 28g semi and everthing is good on her except the final finish on the stock the woods great ,lots of figger and colour so i will do a refinish job with tru oil and it will be mint

My young fella used my sxs with .410 inserts his first season (he was 8 yrs old) & then 3/4oz 12gauge (like 28gauge but better pattern) on rabbits. We used Briley 20g inserts in the sxs last season. 12g sxs are easily available & inserts are pretty cheap so make a great combo.

I have some old guns (12g and 16g) plus a miroku mk10 20g in the for sale section at present

two sxs an AYA no. 2 and a Victor Sarasqueta Mod. 11E. Got lucky on these. Another nice pair. Round body 28ga. yes it drops pheasants,and a 20ga.,fell in love with the wood.

You have some Very nice examples! Thanks for sharing, here are a few more.

I don't discriminate between shotguns and rifles, as long as its a sxs!

My father got given a Merkel 12ga sxs a couple of years ago, it's very nice to shoot.

C'mon Major F put up some pics, you must have some of those old guns lurking there.

Wow lots of Gun Porn right there, way cool.

this is a very interesting gun. manufactured in 1902.who can guess the manufacturer,the country of origin,and anything about the features of the gun.the barrels will be blue at some stage but otherwise the gun will stay as it is.yes i have shot it. i bought this from a gunshop - it was not in going condition,sold as parts only,anyone care to guess what i paid for it.

these additional photos may help.

French? Even though the engraving screams Belgian?
