Drew, it's amazing how some of these inexpensive guns have traveled. This is one of my 12 ga. Sterlingworth Foxes. It's "been around", too......evidently.

Years ago a friend turned me on to 3" DAH which meant about 2" DAC. He said " I like a gun with lots of drop. This way I can't lift my head off the stock, it's already up ". That's been a good 15 years ago and my, I hate to think how many times someone has said " damn, I lifted my head ". I tell I can fix that with a little stock bending, but no bodee takes me up on the offer. It just seems so much easier to shoot standing in a natural position with your head up instead of having to scrunch down like a turtle. No offence to all you turtles.

Doug Florent said modern Spanish game guns are higher in comb than old English ones. Second hand AyA No.2 in very good shape costs about 2000. King Bros. (ASI) have been importing them from Spain to England since 1950s. What could go wrong? smirk

What is even more amazing is for how little money nice old English BLE can be had for. Doug Florent said about 1000. smile

Don't need one. I own SLE already.

One thousand bucks can now buy pretty good knockabout gun....
cost about $55 when it was made in Utica NY USA...

Original LOP was 14" with 3" drop at heel. Could not go wrong with that one it even has top quality recoil pad professionally installed. It has one big advantage over English one in that ammo can be had from Walmart 24/7.

Sure you do Fraud-meister. It just kind of slipped your mind until recently when your pal King embarrassed the hell out of you by replying to canvasback about your fantasy gun buying. In fact, here's a picture of it:

Beware of the man with one imaginary gun...

He probably knows how to use it... to shoot himself in the foot after getting caught in a web of lies.

What's the deal on drop? Being able to see what you are shooting at.
