Churchill has an exceptional reputation for quality-built arms, with attention to detail that is exhibited in the beautiful scrollwork, and handsome stockwork.  The gun was reproofed after being sleeved by Westley Richards and remains in proof.  The gun is tight on face and hinge with a lever sitting Way Right of Center, the engraving is crisp and the screws are superb.  In addition, our Gunsmith department has disassembled the action of this side-by-side to the smallest parts, Ultrasonic cleaned and scrubbed to shiny metal, inspected all for integrity and function, lubricated and reassembled. This qualifies the Gun has a VFI Certified gun with a 90-day warranty. The stock has carved tear drops, double bordered point pattern checkering on a beautiful piece of English walnut with deep, dark wavy grain lines, quilting, and a fine hand-rubbed oil finish.  Choked Light modified in both barrels make this a fun gun to bring to the club for shooting clays, or in the field for upland game. Enjoy the photos and review the detailed specifications as you consider adding a classic English maker to your shooting collection.
