Good morning lads, www.facebook.com/roger.burridge/media_set?set=a.2007065312746667&type=3 Single pic here, more at link above [img:center] https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t...amp;oe=5CEE7815[/img] I haven't posted a picture since the floppy disc era  .So this link should take you to my Greener pictures on Facebook Hopefully my WW Greener hammer gun will show, fingers crossed. I want to sell it, & would like to hear what you guys think it might sell for. Then I will post it in For Sale. Just wanted to be up front with my motives...I don't think this is out of order, is it? I got this gun from Ken Duglan @ Atkins G&L.It's a 30" fluid steel bbls, that has been sleeved in England ,stamped & reproofed as such. Jones U/L action, it is stocked kinda high like a P gun, 15" stock. Weighs about 7 lb 10oz I had Abe Chaber check it out when I got it, he gave it thumbs up. Honestly can't remember the choke..like around mod-Imod...mod--full...I never had it changed. Ken told me that St Ledger re colored it.The colors are very nice quite vivid. I also came with a lovely leather pad, unfortunately the pad had a wicked sharp toe that was painful to shoot, pad was replaced with black old english, the leather pad had T White written on the back...Tony White from Birmingham perhaps ? The chequering is worn. Got a letter from Graham G, saying its a 1901 mid grade, but books said special order, & was made by some of the best workers of that time, i lost the email with all the names, but remember the action filer was a Mr Camm. Well cheers & fingers crossed, could someone let me know if it works on your end? franc

Hard to put a value on a gun like that...kinda how much you want verses how much someone will pay.
Some may turn their nose up at a sleeved gun....myself I wouldn't have a problem with it...looks like a nice job to me.
There you go Stan.
2&3/4", 1 & 1/4oz load...Pigeon on the rib.

Go for it jOe, I wont be offended ...whats your opinion? I figured it a cracker bbl special You got to the pictures ok, eh?. Anyone else?. I had a Bernardelli hammer, but wanted an old one, n got this, I saw it as a nice shooter, & indeed it was & is, kinda like new bbls & no mechanical issues, I had fun shooting a few thousand rounds through it. I would like to sell it, just not shooting much these days. Its at least 2" too short for Stan cheers franc

With what is currently going on in the English gun market, with prices dropping by the minute, I wouldnt have a clue how to price it. But, Im very interested to see what others think.

I'm no expert, but I'd think a nice hammer gun in that condition would bring something in the $2500-3000 range depending on stock dimensions, weight and balance.
If I didn't already have a sleeved Charles Moore top lever 12 gauge hammer gun, I'd be seriously interested in talking to you about a purchase.

Very nice looking pigeon gun. If it had a pistol grip and 32" tubes I'd be talking seriously to you about it. I can shoot 15" fine. It'd have to weigh in at very close to 8 lbs., or a bit over, for me. And, the chokes would have to be tight and tight.
It's a lovely gun, Franc, but I'd rather not price it without seeing it in person. It's a desirable configuration to most people who like big pigeon guns, with great proofs. I've got a couple 30" hammerguns already, and really don't want a third.
Actually, I have probably just bought a pigeon gun, though not a hammergun like I've been searching for so long. I'm about to the point that I'm not going to keep waiting, and a lovely American hammerless pigeon gun will be shipped in a day or so, for a hands on inspection. Not a hammergun, as I said, but too nice to pass up.
Good luck with the sale Franc. Hope you don't regret selling it, but it looks like someone will get a nice gun.

The straight English stock would work fine on pigeons...the 30" barrel sounds good...only during sex will a couple inches make a difference Stan.
It's as nice a gun as the Rielly you got all bent out of shape over.
I'd agree with the earlier price assessment...No crAcker barrel or tOe'mato stake here.
Wake up George.

Wake up George. I've shot pigeons enough to know what I want. And I don't shoot heavy loads in a straight grip gun well. I can manage the recoil from 1 1/4 loads much better with a pistol grip. Getting on the bird with that second shot without wasting a split second to reposition your hand is crucial. Pistol grips make that much easier. You can help yourself to the straight grip pigeon guns. And, for the umpteenth time, I don't want another 30" barreled hammergun. SRH
