In 1879 the patent for the 'Edinburgh Gun' was granted, this early gun was cocked by the top lever but with a trigger plate action similar to the Dickson, but with a unusual pivoting safety. By 1894 cocking advanced to slide cocking on the drop of the barrels. The MacNaughton shotgun was made in both Solid Bar and Bar In Wood, often called a skeletal action. This is a treasure of the gunmakers art combing strength with elegance and grace. When we began production of the present series we decided to make only 'The Bar In Wood', on considering what improvements if any could be made we opted to keep the pivoting safety but to change the ejector system to a Southgate. This being the only improvement we could make to the original design that has withstood the test of time. The MacNaughton 'Bar In Wood' is available in 12, 16 , 20 & 28 Gauge. From £38,775.00 including VAT. Prices depend on quality of wood and engraving, for pairs please add 10%. << BACK
