Description:
H&A Model 312 Sidelock in Boxlock Hammar Gun
This Hopkins & Allen  model 312 hammer gun is what Neils refers to as a Sidelock In Boxlock  design. Literally it is a boxlock gun into the sides of which small sidelocks have been placed. Of the hundreds of different double-barrel shotguns I have seen in 50 years of collecting them this is the only one I have seen.  This is a well-made gun with a Deeley & Edge fore-end latch and bolting via a robust Westley Richards type rib extension. This model was made briefly between 1910 – 1914. It is in extremely nice condition – about 90%. Barrel is 99%, action retain 85% color and the stock 98% varnish. Both blue and case colors are drifting brown. All original and untouched. It is a 12 ga with 30” barrels, 2 ¾” chambers bored F&M barrels. The bores are perfect. Serial number 58747.  Drop comb is 1 ½”, DH heel 2 ¾”, and LOP is 14 ¼” over original HRBP. This is a rare collector gun and a good shooter. Reduced from $950
