Big gun auctions coming up, lots of good doubles…

The fall gun-auction season is here. It kicks off on Friday with Rock Island Auctions and runs through the weekend with Redding’s Auction Service having a nice sale on Sunday.

-9/9, 9/10 & 9/11 @ Rock Island Auctions, Rock Island, IL

There are lots of good guns here, including almost 50 double barrel shotguns. This very early 16g H&H Royal caught my eye, as did this massive  8 gauge Westley Richards side by side shotgun. There are also other nice guns like Brownings Over & Unders and this A.H. Fox and this Winchester Model 21.

To see all the doubles in this sale, go here and run a search for doubles.
