Vickers 12 GA 3 Inch SXS Slug and Buckshot Shotgun

[Sarg]

Thanks Sarg! Sadly since Brexit that sort of thing has got harder

Bugger, I thought that might be the case, I know it was easier some years back & a few guys I knew imported from the UK to Europe with little trouble so expected the same the other way but remembered Brexit might have spoiled that !

Yes @SAFARIKIDD it sure looks like a cool big Double & I suppose it is really a Double Musket at .729-.730 or there abouts ?

Hmmm I’m thinking that would be a great 12ga for practice drills; instead of burning up my .470 ammo….

That occured to me. 25yd slug drills. Shoot 2, reload 2, shoot 2

Thank you for the response brother!!

I’m just seeing this thread but I’m actually the one that bought this. The gunbroker seller sent me a number for another guy that wanted to buy if I decided to sell. Assuming that was @SAFARIKIDD

I was just thinking of calling that number since I was considering selling to put towards another project. Anyhow PM sent to SAFARKIDD!

If you go after tiger with it, use nothing but Brenneke Black Magic slugs.

Your piece looks beautiful. I also recommend fitting a ghost ring.

 

[SAFARIKIDD]

Thanks!!
I love Brenneke and have the Magnum Crush which are even heavier and more powerful
Also Dixie Tri Ball (3 60caliber hardened lead balls at 1200fps)
Last 3" 000 & 00 Buckshot

I would love to see how it groups with slugs & at what distance.
It is beautiful!
