Thomas Turner Hammer Gun

Thomas Turner was a prolific gunmaker and renowned for his target rifles and shotguns. Here we have a very interesting and fine hammer shotgun with Turner's 1864 patented bottom opening device as described in the excellent work "British Shotguns".
The shotgun is nitro-proofed and has recently had a major overhaul and tightening and the original 28" barrels have been re-sleeved and would make an excellent game gun. The gun has a 16" stock with very nice wood and crisp chequering. This is not a shotgun that you would encounter very often with this opening mechanism which I found simple and fast.
SG2 Shotgun Certificate required.
