Not fancy but a wonderful shooting gun by Inman Meffert. 16 ga. 2 3/4" over 8x57 S bore, single set rifle trigger and claw mounted Pecar 4x scope with leather case for over the shoulder scope carry. Have killed several hogs and a couple of Deer with it.
Shoot mostly 187 gr. FPGC cast bullets it it. A small game load is a .330 round ball and 7 grs. unique, this will shoot into an inch at 60 yds. Full choke 16 ga. shoots almost too tight a pattern, would be good for Turkeys but not for upland game.

Nice leverspanner o-u combination! Meffert made a lot of fine and interesting models before the WW2. How much does it weigh?

Try catridges with felt wad instead of plastic in such an old gun. Chokes and forcing cones can also be adapted to modern plastic wads by a competent gun smith.

Thanks, Win88. Without the band of cartridges it weights 6 1/2 lbs. A few yrs back I was at a gun show and bought a wooden case of Remington 16 ga. paper cased
shotshells. The green ribbed ones with high brass and the folded crimp with the
load noted on a disk of paper glued over the crimp, #6 shot. These have the felt wads. 25 boxes for $30. I still have about 15 boxes. These are mostly what I shoot in it.

That is a great idea. Maybe someone can help me decipher them a bit more.

Here are some pictures of the Aug. Yung drilling currently in my care. It is a 16x16 over 7x57R. The discussion thread can be found here: http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums/index.php/topic,244328.0.html

I haven't taken a lot of pictures of my drillings or combo guns, but here's a couple of my Meffert Dural frame in 16 X 16 over 7 X 57R

I have a Theime & Schlegelmilch on the Nimrod frame in 16 X 16 over 9.3 X 75R Nimrod but no pictures and the tube set is at NECG in New Hampshire for repair. I hope they get it finished in time for deer season 2013!

The Meffert are very nice guns. Do you have the proof date from the barrels?

Doug

sharps4590 · « **Reply #47 on:** February 15, 2013, 12:24:57 AM »

Doug, I believe it is 1936. I'm getting a bit cramped for time this morning or I'd go look. Hopefully this afternoon I can.

dougk · « **Reply #48 on:** February 15, 2013, 03:46:32 PM »

I have a 1943 field grade and a 1936 fancy Meffert drilling, both are 16x16/8x57JR. I really like the manual pop up front sight for use with the shot gun. I have only seen the pop up front sight on Meffert drillings

sharps4590 · « **Reply #49 on:** February 16, 2013, 03:57:00 AM »

A pop up front sight? If it's automatic upon selection of barrels that's a new one to me! If it's manual I've seen pictures of them. I've always admired German/Austrian firearms but only in the last year have I become serious to learn about them....and it has not been nice to the checking account!!!
