doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com High Price at Julia Auction

Following this discussion and the one on another thread discussing alteration of chamber length. This lot did not sell at the auction: http://jamesdjulia.com/auctions/view_lot_info.asp?lot=1241-346

These look really nice, but does the forcing cone lengthening and addition of Briley chokes on the longer (and I would think more desirable) barrels take them out of proof? Any other reasons, or is the estimate just too high?

There are no proof requirements in the States

maybe the Miller single triggers?

a lot of people on this site "demand" double triggers on their doubles

I only shoot single trigger guns due to injuries and have
a Lang & Hussey Imperial Ejector with a Miller single trigger
installed decades ago ... long before I purchased the gun.
What a crude butchered installation on a work of art gun.
Since the safety sears are removed from the WR sidelocks I would expect the same.

I would need a huge price reduction to buy another miller single retrofit from the old days ... not sure how they're done today.

The idea of a Boss single trigger gun makes my soul smile and
my wallet cringe.

"Drop at heel: 2-3/16", drop at comb: 1-1/2". Weight: 6 lbs. 12 oz. LOP: 14-1/4". CONDITION: Excellent, nearly unfired, with only a few slight marks on bbls, mostly from sliding of forend, and some"
No wonder it was nearly unfired condition nobody in their right mind would want to drag a nearly 7 lbs. 28 gauge through the woods.

And for what price??? Someone has more money then brains obviously.
