Never heard of these, but this video was posted on a machinist’s forum remarking on some of the machine equipment. I Ike the hint of horizontals since I have so many and ganged cutters myself. No glasses, and the tie probably just for the filming. Action invented by JK Kavanagh. Aimed for 40/wk production. See it described as a push down top lever twin side lug design via auction write up from 20 yrs ago. Internet gun club had some info “ The gun had a slide-forward breech opened by a push-down top lever which lifted a vertical locking bolt behind the breech face. As the breech opened, assisted by the mainsprings, fired cartridges were ejected with the assistance of a spring operated bar in the action bar. On closing the gun the locks were cocked, and the barrels slotted onto adjustable projections in the breech face the projection making the headspace adjustable (the only part of the gun to be patented). The barrels were fitted to a monoblock at the breech end, while variable chokes were screwed in at the other, full length side ribs were not fitted, a ventilated top rib was optional. The fore-end was fixed.”

Says their patented gun helped birth the first Irish proof house. Interesting to see the proofing at 6:26 - BOING!!

The phrase "looks like death eating a cracker" comes to mind when I look at either, or both, gun(s).
