This post got me thinking about a newer addition to my accumulation that I picked up at the NE SXS event at Hauseman's last June. it is a very stout G. E. Lewis British single barrel 12 gauge that is Nitro proved for 1 1/2 ounces and has a 3 inch chamber with a 32 inch Improved Modified choked barrel. It weighs a hefty 8 lbs. 8.4 ounces but has great balance and feels lighter.

It is a single side lock hammer gun and what I read is a Dumoulin style firing pin/plunger system. Non ejector/extractor. It also has two small ivory beads on the receiver for aid in aiming in low light, there is no rib.

I have had good success smoking clays with it but have not had it out for actual hunting yet. I actually shoot it pretty well.

Stan, I also have a Sarasqueta Zephyr 10 gauge, but I Have the true sidelock SXS version. I hits like Thor's hammer with 3.5 inch Bismuth 2's and 4's.
