Hey, the seller contacted me, but said that he has a second buyer who is intersted too and for him he reserved the gun as long as he tells him if he buy it or not ;( So i think now i need more than just the money for the gun..something like a big portion of luck  maybe.By the way: Is there anything special to look after , when buying such a gun? I think no matter the brand is, every brand has goods and bads. Are there any bads known especialy with francotte doubles? Thx�s Konst | ||

Quote: You can polish the inside a bit and a blemish is not big deal. I am not sure exactly what it looks like so I can't say but it is probably ok. A good Double can be accurate with the rifling almost gone. I would worry about pits in the chamber. This is not good and will cause the cartridge to expand into the pit and stick. A few minor ones in the barrels will look bad but not be a problem. | |||

By way of a somewhat late response to your original plea, Konst, there was published a delightful article on the .450 Express by Ross Seyfried in "Rifle" magazine, July/Aug 2000. While primarily about the Express cartridge, it does cover a bit on the Nitro round. Worth getting for the history and early development of this most useful big-bore cartridge. Nickudu has a digital copy of the article, and may be amenable to an appropriate bribe! | |||
