Product Description
c1906 mfr. German DRILLING Combination 16 Ga. & 9.3mm SHOTGUN/RIFLE C&R
Beautiful GAME SCENE ENGRAVED 3 Deer & Ducks
Here we present a C&R German Drilling with two 16 Gauge barrels and one rifled at 9.3mm before being converted later to .22 Hornet, made in Suhl, Germany in the early 20th Century. A “drilling”, which is German for triplet, normally consists of two matching smoothbore barrels and a rifled barrel but may possibly cover a much broader range of shapes and configurations, such as two rifled barrels and one smoothbore, three smoothbores, or three rifled barrels.
There were several major manufacturers of drillings, including Sauer & Sohn, Merkel, Simson & Company, and several others that made drillings. Since many drillings were made by small manufacturers, each maker would pick whichever layout they preferred, or whatever layout the customer ordered. The most common layout was like this one, a side-by-side shotgun with a centerfire rifled barrel centered on the bottom.
The overall condition is very good. Original finish. The actions are excellent. The bores are bright with a smooth shotgun bore with light spotting. The rifle bore is clean and well rifled. The stock shows use and remains solid A Pachmayr rubber butt pad has been installed. The rifle barrel and chamber was sleeved to .22 Hornet.
