H. Atkinson Boxlock Ejector Side by Side, 12 Ga, 30" Barrels
Crafted in the United Kingdom in 1930, this traditional boxlock 12-gauge side-by-side exemplifies the enduring refinement and agile balance of classic British gunmaking in a versatile platform. Finished with a rib stamped “H. Atkinson, Swansea,” the model captures the historic character and purposeful design of the era.
This ninety-five-year-old example presents in remarkable condition for its age, featuring an English walnut straight-hand stock with only negligible marks and 30-inch barrels retaining roughly 85% of their original bluing with no corrosion. Providing enhanced utility alongside its vintage provenance, it has been tastefully fitted with an Easyhit fibre-optic front sight atop the tapered rib for fast, instinctive target acquisition.
Mechanically, the action locks up beautifully smoothly while remaining reassuringly tight, operating in unison with crisp double triggers, an automatic safety, and clean-clearing ejectors. Paired with 2 ½-inch chambers and fixed Modified and Improved Modified chokes, it offers a well-regulated and dependable shooting experience.
