About 20 years ago I brought over from England a boxlock Midland shotgun. It was an excellent gun, though the metal carving (well beyond engraving) was almost amateurish. Midland guns are one of those great examples of just how nice the Birmingham guns could be. Though Midland is not a no-name, it is not one of the mid- or big names from Birmingham or London. Every Midland I have seen before and since the one I owned was a fine gun made to the highest standards. For a lot less than you could expect to spend on a more recognized name. No idea about their back actions, but it is safe to presume that it will be well made.
