This Old English double percussion shotgun is stocked in maple and trimmed in engraved color case hardened steel furniture. This side by side shotgun captures the elegance and craftsmanship of classic English sporting firearms from the mid 19th Century. The front action locks are color case hardened and factory engraved with a floral pattern. The rust browned 12 gauge barrels feature screw-in chokes to change your shot pattern. The gun was manufactured by Davide Pedersoli of Italy. Weight is 7.4 pounds to help absorb the recoil from the 12 gauge bores. The 13-1/2" and 14-1/2" trigger reach should fit today's average shooter quite well. This shotgun is offered as new, with the factory box and three extra chokes.

The polished and browned barrels are 27-9/16" long, including the breech plugs. The 12 gauge bores are fitted with screw-in chokes, modified choke on the right and full choke on the left. A plastic case contains the following chokes: full, extra full, and improved cylinder. Both bores are mirror bright, clean, and ready to shoot. The front sight is a standard brass bead with a white mid bead at the center of the barrel. Your options for loading are wool wads, or traditional cards and wads. For loading traditional card wads through a choke, the card manufacturer recommends using a 12 gauge over powder card pushed through the choke sideways, so only two sides of the card are flattened. A smaller 14 gauge fiber wad is used. The thin over shot card can easily pass through a choke without any difficulty. The left barrel is stamped with the factory information near the breech.

The straight grip is checkered, and the curly maple stock is fitted with a blued steel buttplate with short comb. This wide buttplate is nearly flat, making it comfortable with full loads. The rear of the buttstock is fitted with an English style cap box. The cap box is engraved with a floral design and is color case hardened. It opens to reveal a large cavity for storing extra shooting accessories. The long tang is color case hardened, and factory engraved to match the trigger plate and locks. A nickel silver oval inlay decorates the center of the toe. We note the tip of the toe has a few minor handling marks from storage. The scroll triggerguard is color case hardened, and the trigger plate finial is engraved. The checkered forend has a single key that retains the barrel. The key allows for quick disassembly for cleaning. Simply withdraw the ramrod, press out the key with firm thumb pressure, and lift the muzzle end, to dismount the barrels for easy cleaning. The wooden ramrod is fitted with a brass shotgun style loading tip on one end and a brass tip with 10-32 threads for loading and cleaning accessories on the opposite end. The ramrod passes through a color case hardened entry pipe with long decorative skirt. No cheekpiece is carved, making this shotgun equally handy for right or left hand shooters.

The factory nipples have been replaced with stainless steel 1/4-28 nipples for musket caps. When cleaning at the end of the day remove the nipples, using our #NW-100 nipple wrench, and immerse the breech end in a bucket of hot soapy water. Place a wet cleaning patch on our #Ramrod-C-29-10 cleaning rod, fitted with our #Jag-12-10 cleaning jag tip. Push the air out, and draw the water in, as you pump the ramrod the full length of each barrel, a few times. Change the water, and the patch. When the patch comes out clean, you are ready to wipe the bores dry, using a patch wetted with water displacing oil.

The Pedersoli shotgun locks are case colored and engraved with a floral pattern. Both locks are perfect inside, with strong springs, secure half-cock notches, and full cock notches that release smoothly with normal trigger finger pressure. Davide Pedersoli double shotguns use standard 1/4-28 nipple. Apply a tiny amount of Birchwood Casey's Choke Tube Lube, or any good anti-seize grease, to the nipple threads before installation.
