CSMC, snA10-001318, 2012, 20/28 Gauge, 6lbs. 8oz.
Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing (CSMC), under direction of its founder Tony Galazan, is well-established as the preeminent maker of American double guns. For nearly 3 decades CSMC has produced side x side shotguns the likes of A.H. Fox, Winchester Model 21, and even some Parker shotguns, all faithful reproductions of the original, only better! CSMC has developed many of its own models, like the RBL, the M21 over/under, the Inverness, the Revelation, and the flagship A. Galazan Over/Under. Perhaps the most innovative and most celebrated is the A-10, full sidelock actioned O/U that can be had in plain models to the most elaborately engraved and finest stocked shotguns one can find. You can see the fanatical drive for quality in this A-10 Platinum model, with its finely sculpted frame, HAND DETACHABLE SIDELOCKS WITH GOLD WASHED PARTS, AND GORGEOUS WOOD. The action, lock plates, and trigger guard are French Grey using a plasma nitride hardening process that is almost bullet proof! Research the A-10 and you will see reviews from the country’s most respected experts hailing the A-10 as perhaps the finest over/under made anywhere, and at an extraordinary price point. Makers from England and Europe produce hand-detachable sidelock O/U game guns in prices ranging from $50K to over $250K and the A-10 compares favorably in quality of execution. This A-10 was produced as a 2-barrel set with 30” 20ga. barrels and 28” 28ga. barrels, both with 5 screw-in tungsten/steel shot able chokes for great flexibility. This gun is AS NEW, WITH ONLY A FEW OF THE TINIEST HANDLING MARKS IN WOOD, AN HONEST 99.5% GUN. It is tight as new on the hinge and breech face and has barely been shot. The unique action has an assisted opening feature that is usually only found in guns 5 times the cost of the A-10. The base price for the A-10 Platinum in 20 or 28 gauge is $25,000. The extra-cost features include 3X American walnut ($500), Truoil finish ($500), small frame option, Custom Shop charge ($1000), and the extra set of 20ga. barrels ($8000). The cost to order this gun today exceeds $34,000! Study the photos and you will observe the fully figured buttstock has equal figure on both sides of the stock, the engraving is clear and sharp with beautiful game scenes featuring pheasants and a Labrador retriever, tiny English scroll, precision built in every facet to include the wood-to-metal-fit, metal fit, and just drop-dead gorgeous, good looks. Weighing just 6 1/2lbs. with either set of barrels and balanced to perfection, this is a gun that can be enjoyed pursuing upland game or crushing clay targets on the sporting clays range. Housed in an aluminum hard case with heavy canvas cover, the set is ready to travel. Buy the gun now to have the summer to practice before the opening of the dove and upland game season. We have priced this set affordably so you can treat yourself to a special firearm that will be enjoyed for decades and handed down to the next generation of shooters. Thanks for looking!
