A.A. Brown 20g Super De Luxe Sidelock SxS Shotgun: The Supreme De Luxe self-opening sidelock ejector by A.A. Brown & Sons is only made bespoke and is “best quality” in every sense. The Supreme De Luxe is based on the well proven H&H type bar-action sidelock with ABAS’ distinct shape; a semi-rounded action body with double beads hand-filed into the bar and complemented by slightly domed lock plates. In addition, the action has ribbed cocking indicators, disk-set strikers, charcoal blued pins and pegs, gilded lock work for corrosion resistance, two triggers, and an automatic safety with the word “SAFE” inlaid in gold. Completed in 2002 this Supreme De Luxe was engraved by the very well-known and highly regarded (and now retired) Keith Thomas in the maker’s house pattern bouquet and scroll with the maker’s name inside unfurled banners. On the bottom of the action fine scroll surrounds a game scene of a woodcock flying among timber above the words “Supreme De Luxe” engraved below the game scene’s vignette.
The subtle roundness of the lock plates and action body continues through the drop points and wrist of the nicely figured walnut stock contributing to how good these ABAS guns feel in the hands. The stock has a 15 9/16” LOP over a checkered butt paired with a “Woodward” style pistol grip. Originally made for a left-hand shooter, the guard bow edge is rolled on its left side, but the triggers and stock are now filed and cast for a right-hand shooter. The stock oval carries the initials: V.V. The splinter forend has an Anson push rod and is slightly elongated giving the gun a sleek profile and allowing for the off-hand arm to stretch out a bit. The forend and pistol grip have a flat-top checkering, a very specialized skill and something not often seen on today’s best quality guns, with Mullered borders. The chopper-lump barrels are just over 30” and proofed in Birmingham in 1999 with 2 3/4” chambers. Each barrel is precisely bored at .615” with .007” choke in the right and .014” choke in the left. The Supreme De Luxe also incorporates an H&H style self-opening mechanism mounted to the bottom of the barrels under the forend. The gun was specially commissioned to be built as a 20g on a slightly larger 16g frame for volume shooting, yet the gun weighs a lively 6 lbs. 2.6 oz. The gun is finished with a traditional color hardened action body, lock plates, and forend iron and blacked furniture and complete in a vintage oak & leather case refitted for this gun and relined in a green baize with a maker’s leather trade label.
