RDGAC,

If someones going to knock one of your guns over and bust the stock, it is as well to be this one!

Since I first saw this little gun, I've been wracking mi brains about it.
Someone some years ago used to sell these, sort of old, but refurbished with new bits.

I think they were sold by someone advertising in the "Guns Review" in the 70's.
I don't think it was Major Noel Corry, from Steeple-Bumpstead, but it Might have been. I know he had all kinds of eastern barrels and such.
We bought the odd one from him!
I do remember they were cheap at the time, something like ten quid for a single, and about 15 for a double. The parts didn't look like they were a very happy marriage, so we never did buy one.
This is like seriously using my memory!.......been out the country since '84.

Best of everything,
Richard.
