A tight 3.5" nitro ten gauge sidelock ejector is a vary hard gun to find so I am excited to offer this gem. The bores are beautiful and feature excellent walls and tight chokes (which we can arrange to open to whatever you would like. As it is it would make an awesome turkey gun or big clays gun!

Completed in 1900 this unusual and ergonomic Purdey is a super find. It has sensible chokes for just about anything upland and features new 2 3/4" nitro proofed barrels from 1999. I hunt with a 29" Woodward snap action that is very similar including the prince of Wales grip and I love it.

A classic Holland Royal with excellent walls, great stock dimensions, and is perfectly balanced at 6 lbs. 9 oz.. I appreciate the 30" barrels and if we opened up the right barrel to IC this would make an ideal upland gun. This gun was built between 1898 and 1900. We will have the exact date soon from the Holland records. If it dates to before 1899 it could be shipped direct without the need of an FFL.

This fine Boss still retains at least 30% original case color. It was built in 1923, a period in which the British consider their very best guns were built. The 29" barrels were sleeved in England and Re-proofed for 2.5".

*For what my oppinion is worth, I consider Boss to be the very best of the London gun makers (with the exception of James Woodward!)

This beautiful Royal grade the company records show having 30" barrels and as the barrels appear original it must be deduced that the barrels were cut down to 27" in its lifetime. They have no choke measuring Cyl in both barrels furthers this point.

The barrels were reproofed at 2 3/4"at a later date in London, probably when the barrels were shortened.

Having open chokes, this would make an outstanding close in bird gun for shooting over point. With modern wads Cylinder bore is capable of perfect patterns out to 25 yards and more.

What a great Holland. Featuring hand detachable locks and great dimensions this will make a tremendous gun for the field. Very light for a 30" barreled gun and the choking is prefect for upland, exactly how I have my personal upland double choked.

This LOP may be to long for some but we can easily arrange for a pad or checkered butt to your LOP.

A very nice side lock ejector from between the wars. Powell records show this gun was built for a Capt. H. Wykeham 11 August 1919 .

The gun is tight in excellent condition and needs nothing.

*Note the choking which will put many birds in your game bag. This is almost the exact choking I use in my favorite game gun and gets excellent results and to be honest, I am a mediocre shot at best.

I love how this beautiful double feels between the hands. A London best vintage gun that is tight and field ready. The barrels are bright and shiny. Henry Atkin worked for James Purdey and then went out on his own a few blocks away to build London BEST guns to compete with Purdey and at this he was very successful.

This is a very nice English between the wars (~1927) sidelock for a super price. Don't be put off the by the extension or the long length of pull as we can remove the extension and have a checkered butt done or a pad added instead of the extension for a very nominal charge to achieve a LOP that will work for you.

This gun being near 100 years old and still retain over 50% original case color is remarkable. It handles well and is tight on face with excellent bores.

*Note the excellent choking for upland birds which I will guarantee will put more birds in your bag!

Wm. Atkinson & Sons~ Lancaster, Kendel, and Morecambe ~ A lovely 30" barreled English sidelock for a great price
Hammerless Sidelocks
12 gauge
3465
3155
This gun features nitro proofed 30" barrels with mirror bores. Other features include auto ejectors, tight on face barrels to action, and excellent modern stock dimensions cut from a very nice piece of English walnut. The left choke is tighter than many (like me) might want it but remember we can have chokes opened very reasonably. Also, if you need a longer LOP we can provide excellent English style leather covered pads up to 1".

This is a very nice example of an English sidelock. It is well balanced and feels great between the hands as any well made gun should.

I did not know much of this maker so I did some sleuthing on internet and actually found quite a lot:

Built between 1901 and 1905 by address's on rib William Atkinson was the son of Joseph Atkinson of Lancaster. He was born in 1851. By 1871 William had joined his father in the business in Lancaster, but in about 1874 he opened his own business at 52 Stricklandgate, Kendal, Westmoreland; in about 1878 this moved to 8 All Hallows Lane. There may have been a branch of the firm in Preston. In 1874 William and his wife (Eleanor b. 1850) had a son, Joseph Harvey Atkinson, and in 1876 another, Arthur Falder Atkinson (both born in Kendal), they both worked in the business as gunmaker's assistants, there were also had two daughters born in Kendal, Edith (b.1873) and Maud (b.1878) who appear to have worked in the business. In 1881 Joseph Atkinson retired and William took over the business in Lancaster re-naming it William Atkinson. In about 1885 the firm moved to 20 Market Street, between 1890 and 1901 they took over the adjoining premises at 18 Market Street. Between 1890 and 1894 the business in Kendal moved to 58 Highgate. Joseph Atkinson died in the late 1890s, and in 1900 the firm Lancaster business was re-named William Atkinson & Sons. By this time the firm had a substantial trade in bicycles. In about 1901 a branch was opened at 11 Skipton Street, Morecambe, Lancashire. This was probably run by one of the sons, it appears to have closed in about 1905. Between 1901 and 1905 the Kendal business became known as Atkinson & Griffin, it appears to have ceased trading in 1925. Between about 1905 and 1909 the firm in Lancaster occupied premises in North Road. In about 1935 the firm moved to 26 Market Street, Lancaster, but the Lancaster business appears to have closed in 1940. In 1955 Thomas Atkinson & Sons was recorded at 19a Stricklandgate, Kendal. Thomas Atkinson was certainly related, perhaps only distantly. The firm appears to have closed in about 1985.

Built about 1911 this quality sidelock is tight and has barrels that ring like church Bells having recently had its barrel ribs relayed by artisan gunsmith Jon Hosford. The barrels lock up tight. The gun features bushed firing pins, a feature generally only found on high grade guns.

I believe this is the same company as the Wilkinson Sword Co. that we in America associate with stainless steel razor blades. They did in fact produce many swords and bayonets for the British military.

This gun is tight with good trigger pulls and auto ejectors.

Existing Army & Navy records show this sidelock was built in 1908 by W.C. Scott. Great dimensions and I really like how this gun opens and closes. It feels like a gun that would be appreciated in the field.

*You know this old girl has seen plenty of service and she does show some scars in handling marks in the wood and blue thinning in places. She would be a great candidate for a light restoration or used and appreciated as is. This gun I noted when first operated did not have auto ejectors. I really like this as having auto ejectors is really one more thing to go wrong and truly in the upland field unnecessary. I will get some flack over this, I am sure! I will agree to disagree.

A very nice sidelock for the price of a boxlock due to the less known name. Carr Brothers started in 1878 on Cloth Hall St., Huddersfield, Yorks. They moved a few times around Huddersfield over the years and seem to have closed there doors in 1913.

Great dimensions and LOP could be made up to near 14 7/8" or less if a pad were added.

Don't want to take the Purdey or Boss out in the bad winter weather? Take this gun! These AYA sidelocks are known to be well made and extremely reliable. I believe this is a Model 2, one of their higher-grade guns. There is a slight amount of light pitting in both bores which could be removed or left as is that allows us to blow this nice sidelock out at a bargain price!

Nice barrels on this Coggy sidelock. A high stocked gun for rising birds with a lot of cast off for a beard or broader face. Way too high for me but if it works for you this gun is a bargain. The gun appears to be on face, but I do feel an ever so slight movement. It is so slight I cannot tell where it is coming from so very minor.

*Early Spring Sale guns have a no return policy unless we fail to mention a defect or serious problem

Holland & Holland Dominion 16g. ~ These are rare
Hammerless Sidelocks

I have always appreciated the Holland Dominion guns as they are true sidelocks with a very rounded or radiused action. As a known 16g. "a-holic" this example does push all the right buttons for me. I have never seen another 16g Dominion and I have had over 100 Holland Dominions in the shop over the years.

*This gun dates between the wars to 1921 and comes in a proper vintage case.

*There is a cosmetic stock repair, barely visible about in the center of the stocks comb. It must have had a deep ding in the stock, so they removed a piece of wood and replaced it with new. it is very well done and hard to see. If you look carefully, you can see it in the photos.

What a great little 16g.. Well balanced with a diamond grip, this gun comes up great. We just had installed a new best quality leather pad which this gun deserves. The gun is tight and field ready.

*Exceptional high-grade engraving and bushed firing pins are also among its many great features.

*This gun was finished during the end of the Edwardian era, @1908. This was the peak period of the driven bird shooting and also best gunmaking in England.
