My brush gun is a 25" cly/cly Flue's but it's chopped, surely someone wouldn't of chopped a fine Merkel o/u?

Might have bulged a barrel and had to shorten them. In the condition it is pictured at and barrel set up, it looks a little high on the price.

I would love a double triggered o/u but the price is to high for the condition of the gun. It would be a great gun for the conditions I hunt but by the time I got the stock bent for a lefty and any other work it needed I would have to much money in it. I'll just hang on to my Flues brush gun for the time being.

I've seen that before on combination guns to adjust a set trigger on the rifle barrel. That's a fairly old gun as the newer 201E has game scene engraving, it appears to be a 200E.

The screw adjusts the trigger. With short barrels I think the seller is $1000 too high. is that a sheep on the right side of the stock or some kind of dog? Actually, the price is quite fair. You know, I have a 16 ga. double with cut barrels... and after we sell that bridge in Brooklyn...

If anyone buys it... Enjoy.

The "THING"behind the triger looks just like the single set trigger adjustment on my Merkel drilling, which is a 16X16 over 8JRS. I'm wondering if this shotgun started out with an additional set of barrels in a double rifle or cape gun configuration. The set trigger shown is usually associated with a rifle rather than a shotgun. And the barrell lenght isn't that uncommon for a Merkrel. My drilling is just about the same length. Just a thought.
And for a Merkel, that seems to be almost a smoking deal.
