AS FOUND CHARLES DALY BOXLOCK EJECTOR TEN BORE GAME GUN BY LINDNER.
SN 1679. Cal. 10 ga. 2-7/8" Chambers. 32" Dovetailed steel bbls are engraved "Charles Daly Krupp Fluid Steel Barrels" in milled out portion of matted, concave, game rib mounted with two ivory beads. Bbl flats are stamped with German imperial black powder proofs, bottoms of bbls with "S" and HAL crossed pistol logos. Robust boxlock action with long bar, features automatic safety (SAFE inlaid in gold), pin type cocking indicators, square crossbolt third fastener, side clips, intercepting sears, and checkered double triggers. Action is engraved with geometric borders and about 30% coverage of scroll. "Charles Daly" is on each side. Dense, well figured and streaked European walnut semi-pistol grip buttstock measures 14-1/4" over orig ribbed horn buttplate, and features checkered side panels with long teardrop points, point pattern checkering at grip, and vacant silver oval on toe line. Matching splinter ejector forend has Deeley release. (Horn tip insert missing) Bore diameter: left-.755, right -.755. Bore restrictions: left -.025 (Mod), right -.025 (Mod). Wall thickness: left -.051, right -.058. Drop at heel: 1-7/8", drop at comb: 1-9/16". Weight: 10 lbs. 4 oz. LOP: 14-1/4". CONDITION: Very fine, as found. Bbls retain approx 80% orig blue, thinned considerably from normal handling wear. Action retains most of its orig case hardening color, under a layer of grime, so difficult to determine exact percentage. Stocks retain nearly all their orig rubbed oil finish, dry with open grain, and slight discoloration around butt where rubber slip-on pad was removed. Checkering slightly worn and dirty. There is a fairly deep ding at grip and horn forend tip missing (as previously stated). There is an incipient crack on left side behind action running from apex of action scallop for about 1" through side panel. Bores are excellent, shiny, but show some slight frosting throughout. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Right ejector won't fire. This gun has been in storage for a long time, and is in need of a good cleaning. These big tens have been given a new lease on life with the excellent non-tox ammunition available from RST. 4-49580 MGM56
