Re: Early 16 C Straight
Last year I met a man who claimed to have owned the first B-Grade small bore. But I can't remember if it was a 16 or a 20.

Re: Early 16 C Straight
Researcher - I stand corrected, "one of the first", not "the" first smalbore 20 ga.

Re: Early 16 C Straight
This sounds like a great project. Be sure to post the restored gun to the forum.somo_setters wrote: Mine is a 20 bore, #200003. It is a double barrel set, all # matching. The second set of barrels appear to have been made shortly after it was built. It is also a CE, straight grip gun, built as an ultralight (per notes on the card to be built as light as possible).
Unfortunately, the stock and forend of barrel set #1 are pretty much toast so it is undergoing a full restoration with replacement of the wood on the original gun. It will be done to original specifications. The receiver is in good shape (30-40% color) and will remain as I found it.
