 A scarce side-by-side hammerless boxlock shotgun, 12 gauge.  Serial # 238X. Manufactured circa 1888. The original barrels were replaced by the W. Jeffery & Co. London factory sometime before 1990 with modern nitro-proofed fluid steel 30″ barrels! The rib is marked:  “W. Jeffery & Son, Plymouth”. Chambers are marked 2-1/2″, with ejector.  Chokes measured modified and improved cylinder.  Has a 14 1/2″ length of pull (LOP). Neutral stock cast. Typical top lever boxlock action, with tang safety. Very good condition as refinished with excellent finish on the barrels, with just as few small spots.  The wood is nice with just minor handling marks.  Has typical field grade border light engraving. The buttplate has been replaced with an attractive thin black Beretta-marked recoil pad.  Mechanically excellent — the action has a nice tight lock-up. The safety works properly. The bores are bright! The barrels were factory replaced it is safe to shoot with modern 2-1/2″ smokeless shotshells, but not 2-3/4″ shells.  As a pre-1899 antique, no FFL is required. (NAKG-301)
