You should provide something for scale like a quarter or a tape measure. 0 -
allmost looks like it is a percussion muzzloading barrell, with the threaded holes??? 0 -
A Drilling. A rifle barrel over double shotgun barrels. Most likely European. 0 -
It does appear to be a muzzle loading Drilling barrel set, a double barreled shotgun with a rifle barrel on top, most likely German. Not much use unless someone wants to rebuild it (read costly). 0 -
looking at the groove ahead of the rifle barrel chamber l assume it accepted a very early
cartridge. The shot barrels are muzzle loaded but I see no provision for
the hammers. Would have been nice to see the entire finished "project" .
European drillings often had engraving of the game intended to be hunted,
notice the bear head . Someone was thinking way outside the box.....a long time ago.
So long that he is in a box.
Thanks for showing us.0 -
Thanks for the replies. Just to give an idea of size. Barrels are about 31" long and the shotgun barrels are about 5/8" diameter. 0 -
Rear of rifle barrel is set up for a hinged breechblock, ala Snyder. 0 -
I had a 12ga. double over a 45-70 rifle barrel when I was a teen ager. As near as I can remember it was German made. It had side hammers and was definitely in used condition.
After shooting the rifle a couple of times I was at the point of passing up shots just to keep from have to shoot the thing.
The last time I used it goose hunting, the shotgun doubled on me and damn near busted my shoulder...or so it felt.0
