Consecutively numbered, true trio of 16g round action trigger plate self-opening Side by Side game guns by Scottish maker, David McKay Brown.

Each gun is built on the classic Scottish trigger plate action with its rounded bar. Each gun features two triggers, auto-safeties, color case hardening and wonderfully executed small English scroll by renowned engraver Dave Tallett. Each gun features the Maker’s name inlayed in gold on the bottom the actions. Finally, each gun is appropriately numbered “1, 2, or 3” in gold and and the word “SAFE” is also inlayed in gold.

All three guns feature 29” chopper lump barrels with 2 ¾" chambers and 2002 London proof marks. All three sets of barrels are bored and choked the same at: 3/8 (.015") and 1/2 (.020") with smooth concave game ribs. 

The guns are stocked in a lovely set of well matched stock blanks with straight hand grips and splinter forend. There is a 15" LOP over checkered butts and the guns are cast off 1/8". 

The guns weigh a lively 6 lbs. 2 oz. and are complete in  the Maker's three gun motor case. The guns show some signs of use, but are overall in excellent condition, tight on face, and the barrels and stocks free from any dents, bulges or cracks. 

Each gun is a superb example of the classic Scottish round action game gun.

According to Donald Dallas’ book, David McKay Brown,
Scotland’s Gun & Rifle Maker, The definitive history authorized by
David McKay Brown, (2011 Quiller Press), the three guns were finished in 2003
and are the only trio of 16g Side by Side Game Guns shown in the ledgers when
the book was published.
