These trigger plate actions remove a large amount of wood from between the action so to strengthen it this gun has had a pin put cross wise across the head of the stock to prevent cracking. It was professionally and elegantly done with horn covers. The butt has a 1" horn extension.

A super price for a sound and beautiful round action.

*Note the great stock dimensions and chokes perfect for most bird hunting.

*Note that this Diamond grade has excellent dimensions for many and will make a great shooting gun for its next owner.

*Note the great drop dimensions , comb and heel and cast. Perfect for most of us.

C.S. Rosson was a very well respected maker in England during their day. This is a very nice little 6 1/2 pound game gun which would make a super first English double. It is in very nice original condition, has great stock dimensions, crisp trigger pulls, and is well balanced.

The full choke in the left with cylinder in the right is a common English choking and was effective in driven shooting. If one opens the left barrel to a light modified and leave the right barrel as is this gun would be a fabulous upland bird shotgun. We can arrange for this and the cost is only $70.

*Note the Westley signature top lever with the sliding third bite rib extension! Yes, this gun has 2 3/4" chambers and is nitro proofed for this.

*The forend in the picture shows the forend horn tip missing. We are having it replaced and should be done soon.

*Note the cast off is 1" which is more than normal but would be perfect for the person that has a large beard or face that would require this. It is possible it could be bent back some also.

*Note the beautifully scalloped action!

The gun is currently at the gunsmith to have the trigger adjusted but we should have this back soon.

The 2 3/4" Nitro proofed chambers make this gun very versatile in the USA. The semi beaver tail forend I believe to be added later in the guns life, probably while here in the USA. This addition has obviously been done professionally as it is extremely well done.

The 3" proofs would indicate this gun would be great for most American 2 3/4" shells.

< Manufrance used the mono-block barrel design to build what we now know from the Italian designs to be one of the strongest methods out there. You can see this in the pictures where the barrel has a slight step 3" from the breech.

This gun is extremely tight. It operates like it was never completely broken in it is so tight.

The chokes are very tight but remember for only $70 per tube we can open them to anything you would want down to cylinder. If you use as is this would make a tremendous turkey gun!

So, despite the safety, I still shoot, promote and get excited about these guns as they are worth having, shooting and appreciating due to their great balanced round action and features. This grade and higher feature a rising bite third fastener similar to the coveted Rigby rising third bite. The pull back lever behind the trigger guard opens the gun and is extremely ergonomic. It is out of the way and very easy to operate.

There is some light pitting in the bores which could be removed but if it were me I would take this light lady afield just as she is and enjoy her doing what she does best.

Unfortunately this example was poorly cared for and someone let the inside of the barrels get quite pitted. The good news is someone in its past spent near a thousand dollars to have Briley full length 20 gauge tubes installed resulting in bringing this old dame back to life. With the high stock this would make a great Vintagers competition gun or a hammer sporting clays gun.
