You are all talking about vintage guns, mostly American, which are not exactly inexpensive. A good, clean Sterlingworth or Trojan could be approaching $2,000 and could have issues like short chambers. The working man's gun needs to cost less than those guns and should be new, made with modern materials, 2 3/4 chambers, even choke tubes and probably a single trigger. Sounds like a Huglu. I love my Parkers, Foxes and Elsies, I insist on double triggers and I don't like ejectors or choke tubes but I'm not the working man we are talking about. He needs a Huglu.
