Available Guns

We are very pleased to present this fine Round-Action, delivered in 1895. The gun is in excellent condition throughout with the full coverage Sumner fine scroll engraving and 'John Dickson & Son' 'Patent' banner engraved on the sides of the action.  In addition, it has fern leaves beautifully chased into the detonators, which is a very rare feature. The action is the pre-1900 shape with cocking indicators, the slightly fuller detonators adorned with the fern leaves, fuller ribanded fence, lock-pin in the 'widows peak' toplever and the early safety button shape. The gun is fitted with a well-figured stock which is finished with a slim heelplate, and seamless sleeved steel barrels are again in excellent condition, measuring as the day they were proved, and the barrels benefit from now having 2 3/4in chambers.
