Exotic single shot shotguns

[VictoryXC]

I would like to get my wife started in upland hunting and I always thought a nice single shot would be ideal. I bid on a single shot 16g Purdey a while back, but tapped out well before the hammer price.

Geepers what a cannon!! Now that's a long yardage handicap gun.....I'd be bumped back to the 27 line with each shot!!

Wish the Turks would make a top break lever, takedown field gun single shot threaded for chokes.

Probably wouldn’t sell too well if it wasn’t 250 dollars though

Stevens 301. Not a lever but a push tab like the old hnr

There are the Greener GP, you'll see them in Field and Trap grade

The market for it would probably be pretty small, but I've often thought that a 26" Browning BT-99 would be a nice gun to hunt with

Does a BT-99 have a safety? Many purpose designed single shot trap guns do not so not a great choice in a hunting gun. When I worked at the MNR in Ontario years ago I remember seeing a cabinet full of firearms that had been seized and several were for not having a working safety on them. That may look like a safety on my TM but it's the release to drop the removable trigger.....

 

[sillymike]

Are there rules in Ontario about the need to have a safety?

No.

Actually there is or so the CO's I worked with told me? If a CO determines in his estimation that your firearm is in unsafe working condition they can seize the firearm and a few I worked with me told me a gun without a working safety falls in the category of a gun in disrepair.

How generous those government employees huh?

Every single Cooey shotgun, every old hammer shotgun, probably every muzzleloading rifle and smoothbore.
A fella taking his single shot palma rifle deer hunting.

I always thought that the external hammer that had to be painfully drawn back before shooting works as the safety on those guns.

Yes it does. There was a bunch of them seized in the cabinet at the MNR office I worked at too but they had been seized for things like broken stocks taped together, forends that were taped in place with tape wrapped around the forend and barrel because the forend latch no longer worked, hammers broken in half and broken top levers. When I asked what they did with those guns they said some were used for the hunter safety courses.

- Talked with a GM friend, no rules about needing a safety on a firearm in Qc. Just like there are no rules saying you can't walk around with the safety off.
- But there are rules about using a firearm in a "unsafe" manner...

From what I gathered, only time they confiscated a firearm was if
- Some other rules were not respected. As in, no hunting license, poaching, being impaired, being a threat to others...

Personally, I like to have a safety on my shotgun.
- I'd feel perfectly safe to walk a logging road with a loaded trap shotgun looking for grouse
- I wouldn't do the same chasing them through tangle/dense bush.

To get back on topic.
- Ithaca made some nice single-trap gun... But I haven't seen one for sale in quite a while.

The Manufrance Simplex was available in higher grade

Very nice indeed. That is one I’d like to see.

 

[Ashcroft]

Very interesting, I’ve never seen one.

From VMax666 a French forum

"Simplex Sport" model n° 86

Funny how Google works... it probably "knows" by now that I prefer engraved firearm... so when I searched for a Simplex, that's the one I came across.
- Only ones I've seen for sale were the plain-jane variant. Dante had one many years ago.

Another odd French single shot
- Verney-Carron Stopvis

 

[Pinfire]

All hail the French gunmakers, who think outside the box!

…and who are responsible for the flintlock, the pinfire and the hinge action, the hammerless double, and, some would argue, the percussion cap…

 

[sillymike]

The Darne Elan and Bretton (can't remember the model) were available at some point in time a sliding breach single shot shotgun... Just can't seem to find a picture!
