Not a patch on the original Pedersoli could have done better.

I liked his evaluation of the SXS. The shotgun would have been nicer if it did not have that ridicules hideous checkering and those sling swivels :barf:

 

[Zonie]

I agree.

A nice simple checkering or a "skip line" checkering would be much more classy than the basket weave nonsense they used.

 

[DickS]

So near and yet so far.

 

[BrownBear]

...basket weave nonsense....

A lot of that going on with guns from Europe back in the 60's and 70's. It faded away and I was hoping they'd thrown away the jigs. Obviously not.

Fortunately, it's an easy and relatively quick fix with a two-edge checkering tool with one safe side. Got several around here.... Somewhere!!!!!! :rotf:

:thumbsup:

But for the money a nice checker pattern would have been more desirable.

If they wanted the sling swivels a better that QD would have been nicer.

I suspect that the SxS double-flinter was NEVER intended to be HC, but rather that it was intentionally designed to bypass the anti-"modern gun laws" that numerous countries have. = Flinters are NOT even considered to be WEAPONS in several nations.

Yes it certainly looks like he was enjoying shooting the gun .
If Pedersoli want to send me one for free , I am sure I would enjoy it too .

They do have to walk a line between a good gun and a salable price. I’ve seen people knock their Bess and Charlie’s, and one would think a production NWG could be produced without the changes they made.
No production gun will ever match a custom or similar custom gun.

 

[satx78247]

TOO BAD that Pedersoli insisted on doing ANY checkering. = Plain would look as well, imo.

There is a rumour that Pedersoli will bring out a plainer version of the gun .

 

[DickS]

I'd pay more for a plainer version without that ghastly simulated basketweave.
I wonder if the cocks could be changed to something that resembles originals.

 

[satx78247]

GOOD. - I might well buy one of the "Plain Jane" versions.
(To me, NO decoration is always better than too much.)

That’s a trueism. I know checking goes on some of the finest hand made guns, and stamped on to el cheapos I always thought it ugly. I don’t know if you would have enough wood to sand off.

 

[satx78247]

I just went back again, looked carefully at the stock & agree that there simply isn't enough wood to pare that horrid checkering off & still have a stock.

I'm also wondering of the tubes are thick enough to rifle one of them to say 1 turn in 60"??
(I've neve owned a flint combination gun of any sort. = A 20-gauge PRB should work well for feral pigs, Axis & WT deer.)

yours, satx

 

[DickS]

Bores are chromed. That might make rifling problematic. Maybe one barrel could be sleeved.
