Size:  629.2 KB scribe,to answer your question,yes the barrels are damascus,and they have a beautiful pattern,not evident in this photo,but next time i haul it out from the back of the safe,i will take some more photos.the barrels are the original browning,this gun apart from a couple of safe marks over the years looks in as new condition which is remarkable. petros i have never weighed the gun,but i would think it is around the 6 1/2 lb mark.it is beautifully balanced. i do have an older gun,a greener hammer 12ga made in 1877 which i shoot more with.i took this on our annual pheasant drive.i like to bring the old guns out, if just to get a rise from the extended mag crew. anyway there was this pheasant,a high one that flew parallel to the guns,flighting over a stand of trees on on a bank.on he came past 5 guns,untouched, until the greener where he folded on report.a large cheer went up. it was my finest moment with that gun.i tell that story not to give the impression i am an extrordinary shot,(which i am not),but to give hope to many,like myself who spur themselves on with the thought,with only a few more opportunities i'll master that shot.every dog has its day! the barrels on the greener are steel,its been well shot over the years,so it is worn.i shoot it as is using falcon 4's and 7's 28gm 2 1/2 inch cartridges. i've added the photo as this was busta at 10 months on the molesworth shoot last year.we are off again next week.it'll be laydown blinds for two day/nights, then walking all the gully's for nester's,which is exciting shooting and challenging.busta is good at climbing the hills to locate and finding the odd hare or hedgehog.but we leave the big bird retreiving to the bigger boys.

    Welcome.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
