What's Included
- Davide Pedersoli Classic Side-by-Side Muzzleloading Shotgun (12 Gauge)
The Classic series configuration centers on a pair of 28 inch steel barrels with cylinder bores and a solid top rib for a traditional double-gun sighting plane. The barrels are polished blued, complementing the color case-hardened lockplates and furniture.
The shotgun uses percussion ignition with exposed twin hammers and back-action locks, each feeding its own nipple at the breech. Double triggers provide independent control of the side-by-side barrels.
Stocked in walnut, it features a straight (English) grip, a hand-checkered wrist, and a steel buttplate secured by two screws. The slim splinter forend is retained by a Deeley-style latch with a central push tab on the underside of the forend.
Sighting is straightforward and period-correct with a brass front bead and no rear sight. Light scroll engraving decorates the lockplates, tang, and trigger guard, adding subtle visual detail without distracting from the classic lines.
