Good guns for a good price and very much underappreciated. Great post!

Very nice piece. Prices for 12's here in the States are quite reasonable as well, as Brit guns go. One I probably should not have let go was a 720, which is actually a 702 in 20ga made for the American market. Lovely gun, although I wish it had had 28" vs 26" barrels.
In addition to the comment Hugh made about the barrels, I don't believe the 700's are screw grip actions either. I believe the screw grip requires a 3rd fastener--rib extension of some sort--which the 700 does not have.

I have what I believe is a 701 as it has good figure in the stock w/ drop points.The barrels are,uncut,27"s w/a tight Ic & mod.The barrel marks are NB which puts it at 1962/serial #1323XX= 1961.The rib is marked "Carlton Model" Russell Hillsdon,Chichester.It is a 2 3/4",3 1/4 ton gun w/ejectors & auto safety,straight grip.The wt is 6lb 10 oz.This is the 3 rd 700 series gun I have owned and all have given me good service.I would like more information on the "Carlton Model" reference.I'm unable to post pictures.

1923 Proprietary Grade 1 hammerless "screw grip". The nicest W&S boxlock I've ever seen or owned. I miss that gun Bob. :-(

That one's way nicer than a 700--or even a 701, which was the highest grade of that series. Significantly more engraving.

Thanks Builder! Perhaps they wanted to go out with a bang but this one seems to have a better grade of wood. Wonderfull shotguns and use mine for skeet and grouse hunting here in N. Wisconsin. 26 inch barrels( Which I love and slowly working on Builder to come over to the dark side!LOL) 6lbs. 1 oz. Skeet 1 and Skeet 2. Thanks for the GREAT thread! Bob
