Is there a market for combination guns in Canada?

A window dropped off a Mts 106-17-01 at my place... It's a nice piece of kit, but I don't know jack about these things :confused: And my google-fu does not seem up to par, because the only thing I find online about these are some guns that were listed on the auction site Joh. Springer's Erben in Austria...


Anyone familiar with these things?

As far as I can tell. It's a 12G (2 3/4 chamber) and 7.62x54

It’s a real “meat gun thing in Europe”

Best selling combinations are extremes

By that I mean shotgun plus something you can get a boar with

Or shotgun plus something to get a roe dear with

Anything in between tends to get less attention, will always have a demand but take a little longer. This is such a tool you are describing.

Also it’s become a tool of status, in a indirectly way you are saying you own land or a lease..... basically you can shoot anything you want to eat and not dictated by the woodsman or game keeper.

Can you picture coming home to the kitchen saying to the housekeeper :

Do we have space for a wild boar and a brace of capercaille? Just went for a walk with my drilling this morning ...

MTs is one of the "brand" of TsKIB Soo (Central Design and Research Bureau of Sporting and Hunting Weapons), which in turn is a division of KBP
(Made in Russia)

During the hieghth of the Cold War sometimes we would see a Tv news report from TASS, Breshnev hosts Castro hunting in USSR. Looks like something they would use for reindeer and/or wolves.

These rarely even catalogued fine hunting combination guns rarely seemed to make thier way out of the USSR back in the day.

Edit: A rimmed big game rifle cartridge huge bonus for less troublesome extraction/ejection.

I've posted this in past, what I have for a combo is a Brno, 7x57R/12ga. And, not that I've ever used them, but for it, I also have a set of skeet barrels. For my 'needs' where the 7x57R/12ga comes into its own, is here on the 'wet' coast on those for later season windy rough weather walks on old skid roads in river bottom areas. This is because you're just as likely to jump a Blacktail Deer as a Ruff Grouse.

I always say the combination gun hunter never goes hungry.

Kudos....
 
I like combos and drillings. My German buddy, a Forester for the city of Cologne, once shot a wild boar during a group hunt ( Drückjagd ). he was using a drilling loaded with shot in the 16 ga. barrels for fox and hare, and 7x64R under for boar. Pulled the wrong trigger. Trackers and dogs had a long job with that one. He said he had to buy them a lot of beer after.
 
Yeah I can see that happening.... I wouldn’t want that to happen on a moose.... or possibly worst a post off grizzly!!
 
I have a couple buddies who picked up the 12 guage/222 rem combo guns from Tradex. Tikka's?
They seem to like them, but I never see them carry them for hunting.
222 seems just a bit light for hunting deer. I would rather something at least a 308 or 30-06 for the rifle side of a combo gun.
 
had a drilling. 12x12 over (318),8 mm. Did not find it all that handy. Carry extra no matter what you hunt. As for yours I find nothing in my stuff, sorry.
Just googled and find they are a top quality Russian arm. Custom order is common. Quality is as good as top Italian guns( there words) . Yours seems to be standard wood and metal work. No price found.

way back when I was into to strange stuff, and Brno's, I had one of those, just because?? Found it a bit heavy., and stiff.
I do like the looks of that Russian.
