I offer an update to the old thread on Poli shotguns.

I looked back at my old post and mentioned the guns I knew of.

I am happy to update that I bought the 20 gauge 2 bbl set. I was present in 2003 when it was ordered at a Southern SxS.

A few years of waiting for our bespoke Polis, the 20 arrived first. I got a phone call from Tom Bryant, telling me the first Poli had arrived to Carolina Sporting in Charlotte and should hurry over to see it. I saw it once before the original owner picked it up. The next time I was picking it up 12 years later. The condition is exactly what I remember.

The 24, 32 2 gauge gun on the 20 gauge frame sold. I believe it is the Charlotte area. I don't need it, but it's out there.

I was thinking of selling the Clays gun. I took it to Rich Cole who was displaying at a big NSCA shoot at Backwoods Quail Club.

Rich said my gun was one of 8. Rich said he specifically asked for heavier wood, non-automatic safety, pistol grips with palm swell. 2 of guns were, Deluxe with ejectors and highly engraved.
The guns were send to Briley for Beretta short choke installation.
I have seen one of the Deluxe guns. It was very nice.
