John Dickson & Son Round-Action made in 1904 - Re-manufactured
12 gauge, patent triggerplate action, side-by-side shotgun
This is an opportunity to obtain a bespoke gun and go through the stages of building a gun to your specification but with reduction in waiting time and cost over a new gun build.
This particular gun has crisp bouquet and rose scroll panel engraving pattern from the Sumner workshop.
To accelerate this build, new 28 inch chopper-lump barrels and a new highly-figured stock and fore-end have already been fitted to bring down the delivery time.
- New internal springs and pins where necessary, all new pins externally
- New gold wash to protect the internal components
- All engraving picked-up where necessary on furniture
- Best colour hardening reapplied to protect and enhance the external surfaces of the gun
