Accepted Payment Methods: Returns: 3 Days Description: Manufrance Ideal No. 308S 16 Gauge SxS Shotgun FACTORY ORIGINAL, 5 3/4 LBS General Specs: Manufrance, Year 1932, 16 Gauge, 5lbs 12oz, Side by Side Serial Number: 70643 Manufrance Ideal is one of France's finest shotguns, with origins back to 1881 and unchanged in over 100 years of production. A true round action with 3 locks (2 Purdey style underbites, rising bite integrating with rib extension), with the same reputation for robust strength as the Dickson (circa 1880) and the MacNaughton (circa 1879) as a result of the nearly solid steel action with little metal removal for the working parts. Way stronger than the typical A & D style box lock. This gun is special and rare, made in 1932 with the "S" designated right barrel, which signifies "Supra" or a fully rifled bore made to specifically spread your shot pattern widely and evenly for close game like rabbits and woodcock. It will also stabilize a solid slug or sabboted slug for accurate shooting. This feature has been documented to be extremely effective on your short range shots. So, a 5 3/4lb. 16ga. ROUND ACTION gun in very clean, untouched condition, with a unique rifled right barrel, gorgeous well executed scroll engraving, swamped and engraved rib, perfect checkering and wood to metal fit, ready for your bird season coming up, and at a very affordable price. Experienced shooters that know the Ideal compare them directly to the Dickson Round Action but at less than 1/3 the price. A great gun to carry afield and a great investment vehicle.
