Shotguns Descriptions

Boxall and Edmiston Boxlock with Sideplates

The Boxlock shotgun with ornamental sideplates has been developed using cutting edge manufacturing methods whilst keeping a strong sense of tradition throughout the weapon. B&E has concentrated on innovation and refinement of the tried and tested Anson & Deeley action. Special features include the interchange ability of parts (hence lower maintenance costs), exceptional draw strength, the use of high grade carbon steels, an exemplary barrel assembly, a uniquely positive ejector system, carbo-nitriding of all the moving parts. UNCOMPROMISING STRENGTH: The highest grade steel is used for all components. A deeper table, which is the thickness of material beneath the action flats, increases the guns core strength as the shots forces are spread via the active draw throughout the weapons body. Additional strength is achieved using a back action lock system, the main spring is housed at the rear instead of compromising action strength (as used in high powered double barrelled rifles). DESIGNED FOR MODERN AMMUNITION: All the guns are chambered for 2 3” cartridges and nitro-proofed, a necessity for modern ammunition, (an uncommon feature in old British guns). Longer forcing cones provide a softer transition of shot into the bore resulting in less deformation and a more consistent pattern. BARRELS Weight distribution is everything in a gun. To achieve the optimum dynamics we use a formula that is over 100 years old. The London shape and dimensions distribute the barrel weight throughout the weapon giving the gun its smooth mount and responsive swing. IMPROVED EJECTOR SYSTEM: With the introduction of diamond shaped ejector legs (eliminating the need for the weakguide leg) the gun benefits from increased contact areas, reducing wear and providing a smooth and more efficient ejection system. INTERCEPTOR SEARS: The Sidelock benefits from interceptor sears, an additional safety mechanism built into the lockwork. Boxall and Edmiston Ltd were established in 2009 with the aim of manufacturing a truly British shotgun. In July 2010 the dream became reality with the launch of the Boxlock with Sideplates at the CLA Game Fair. The Boxlock represents the coming together of manufacturing innovation and the art of British Gun making. One year on, the Sidelock was launched at the 2011 CLA Game Fair. The Sidelock is the flagship of the range and has all the features a Boxall and Edmiston gun is known for.

Browning Silver Hunter

The Browning(R) Silver Hunter(TM) Matte is a lightweight, fast handling semi-auto shotgun that's designed with upland bird hunting in mind; though its self-adjusting Active Valve gas system increases its versatility to include most any type of wing shooting or shooting sport. The Active Valve gas system vents excess gas out the top of the forearm, and away from the receiver for clean, reliable operation with 2-3/4" and 3" shells, without the need or adjustment. The Silver Hunter Matte model comes with a matte blued barrel, a 2-tone silver/black receiver, and a checkered Turkish walnut stock with a brown, ventilated recoil pad. The semi-humpback receiver design with a ventilated rib and brass front bead creates a sight picture that's quick to pick up and swing on moving targets. The barrel comes back bored and threaded for Browning's Invector-Plus choke tubes (includes IC, M, & F) to deliver consistently tight shot patterns. The low recoiling Browning Silver Hunter Matte Semi-Auto Shotgun allows for fast follow-up shots and all-day shooting comfort on the clays range or wing shooting.Lightweight and fast handling2-tone silver/black receiverBlued barrelTurkish walnut stockVentilated recoil padActive Valve gas systemCycles 2-3/4" and 3" shellsVent rib and brass front beadInvector-Plus choke tubesBack bored barrel
