Only had one drilling that was a 12 ga but had a wild 8 x 51 with a 318 bore. Couldn't find bullets for it. Had to make my own
One of the hardest guns to take down to clean was one of the first gas guns made..High Standard made a gas operated auto loader that was a bear to clean. Mainly cause it was so hard to figure out how to start. The bbl was not removeable. I still have one here. Guy gave it to me cause he couldn't keep it running and owed me money...so I acquired it I guess.. It actually works just fine...sometimes. But it's a 3 inch gun and I hardly ever use it. Last I shot it was at a couple of geese 2 yrs ago. Kilt 'em but they were kinda right in the decoys. Geese round where I live ain't shot at too much. Never fly out of shotgun range generally. They really ain't as edjumacated as the geese back there in Md  
Thinkin about that 4 bbl gun..The last wasn't a Hornet. It was a 22 WCF. Like a Hornet but not as fast. |
I had only seen one drilling in my life before I bought mine. I was 10 years old and thought that was the cat's meow. When my fellow citizens elected Obama I saw what was happening with ars and aks. I thought that, maybe, the price on other guns might just drop some. I had been watching the drillings online and waiting for something I could afford and for ga and calibers I liked. Sure enough I found what I was looking for and didn't pay too much for it. I'm guessing this was somebody's 23 year old safe queen because it certainly hasn't been used.
I still had to sell all my guns but my browning hipower tho. I don't think I'll miss em too much except maybe my winchester carbine but I really like this drilling. A german on another forum told me the saur and sohn drilling was; solid, dependable, sensible, and completely boring. I agree with most of what he said. If I had my hands on a vierling I don't know I'd ever sell it.
