Deactivated Midland Gun Co. 12-bore boxlock shotgun **SOLD**
This is a double-barrelled boxlock shotgun of side-by-side construction with full 30 inch barrels, made by the Midland Gun Co. of Birmingham. This company existed from 1897 till 1952, when it was taken over by Parker-Hale. It is in super condition, with lightly cross-hatched hardwood rear and forestock and profusely engraved metalwork, with no signs of any corrosion to the steel. The action sides are marked 'Grand Prix Gun Co, Birmingham', but I cannot find any information on this company or any connection with the Midland Gun Company. This shotgun breaks, cocks and dry-fires on both barrels with a very precise action and it can be fully stripped. It would make a fabulous addition to anybody's hunting lodge, mounted over the fireplace! Two inert cartridges are included to compliment this classic vintage hunting shotgun. More are available seperately in the 'Inert Ammunition' section at £1.50 each, post free if ordered together. Deactivated in the UK with Certificate to UK specification.
Our Price: £175.00
