doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Roundbody or Traditional ?

Hi All,
I prefer the look and feel of a round body and also find guns manufactured as round bodys tend to be lighter then many traditional guns. I mostly rough hunt and prefer lighter guns. Now I really like bar in the wood side locks with and without hammers, also like clean lines up the action like Manufrance ideals (also round bodies) and underlevers or side levers. Looks like I am in the minority though.

Traditional.

But I do have a soft spot for say back action hammer guns with round bodys in maybe 28 gauge!

All else being equal, I'd take the round body every time. Sleeker, sexier and just a little bit different. Ever since I found a pair of Dickson roundbodies for sale (fraudulently, I might add) on the net, I have lusted for them.

What else can a guy with a closet full of hardware store guns say except traditional. Chopper

Traditional....I thought the round bodies were for the lady hunters.

I have the traditional in the 12 ga and the round bodies in 20 and soon in 28.

We would compete for a round body with sidelever!
Edit:
Look at this Ferlib

Traditional. The round bodies are nice but I like the flat palins of the traditional.

Hi Silver,
That is a beautiful sidelever but at that cost no competition from me.
Figures Homless would say something as enlightening as "Traditional....I thought the round bodies were for the lady hunters"
