Shotguns

New 'Exhibition' quality shotguns are being made using traditional W W Greener designs including traditional side-locks, Unique Ejectors and Facile Princeps models - the new 'G' Ejectors. At present we are making: 12, 16, 20 and 28 bore shotguns and a 12 bore hammer gun - all are of the very best Presentation quality.

Barrels - are made of the highest quality steel and bored to maintain the famous choke boring improvements, made by W W Greener in the 1870s, to optimise shooting performance, and to ensure patterns of shot guaranteed to meet customers' exact requirements whether for game, wildfowl or clay pigeon shooting. A few pairs of guns are being made with interchangeable steel and Damascus barrels.

Actions - Side-lock actions can incorporate the lightweight 3 teardrop, 5 pin bridle invented by Harry Greener to provide a slim and more comfortable action. The Facile Princeps, re-introduced in 1998 is weight for weight the strongest action ever produced, and this features the traditional Greener cross-bolt adding extra strength and safety to these weapons. Recently two Unique Ejector shot guns have been built. This type of ejecting shotgun, invented by Harry Greener, has not been made since the Second World War.

Stocks - are made from the very best walnut and customers can make their own choice from a wide selection when ordering their guns. Dimensions, including stock length, cast, comb and drop, with straight, half pistol or full pistol hand, are all carefully tailored to meet each individuals' shooting characteristics.

Engraving - Only the very best engravers are employed to design and execute the finest scroll work, game scenes or other exquisite artisitic designs. Chiseled relief engraving is a speciality and this may be embellished with gold and precious metal in-lays to further enhance the beauty of the very best guns made in England today. Some examples of engraving styles are provided below.

1. Fine Scroll Engraving.

2. Deep Scroll Engraving

3. Game Scene Engraving - "The Four Seasons"
