Foxey: If I am not mistaken Bing's 20 bore Purdey was sold at one of Greg Martin's first auctions or perhaps while he was still at Bonham & Butterfields.
jOe: I'd say that if you pulled the BUNG from a cask of Wild Turkey and stand under the effluence thereof your BING would get a BANG out of that BONG! Seriously (or is it too late for that?)
If any of my fine British guns were out of proof they would have been "cut by the auction" prior to the sale as a few of them were. Those were sold for "stock, action and fore-arm" only. I don't have any more, I'm sorry, but they wouldn't fit on your 311s anyway. I really haven't counted how many SxSs I have left but apparently you have, so how many are there? Bye the Bye the word is "scrap" not "scrape"
Best Regards, George
