Cool. I thought the 6.5x52 was the Carcano cartridge. Evidently not.
How do you select the rifle barrel?

Sudesh, Happy for you that you can get ammo for this beautiful gun. Could you please tell us the maker's name? If possible a few pictures of the proofmarks? Thank you.

Unless I am mistaken, there was more than one maker that used the name Simson. The history of European gun manufacturing has several such interesting asides... the proofs/ other marks would definitely be of interest. It is a very interesting piece and I am sure Sudesh would like to trace it's history as well :) The IGC is a great place for finding such info, but I haven't visited in over 4 years and in fact I've even forgotten my log-ins there! :(

Cheers!

Thanks M24. I just reread the original post and found the name.Simson were a company based in Suhl, a place much akin to other gun making regions of Europe- Ferlach of Austria, Gardone in Italy, Eibar in Spain,St.Etienne in France,Birmingham in Britain etc.

Proofmarks will be very welcome.

Further to the rather interesting Drilling sudesh has picked up, some of you may want to check out the Famars Rombo, it's a vierling i.e. a 4-barreled shotgun (only available in 28 & .410 gauge).

Some rather interesting configurations (Drilling, Vierling and funfling) seem to be also available at http://hoferwaffen.com/hofer_52.php?lang=en ;)

Cheers!

Funfling :shock: Looks like the boring machine lost track there...Taking care of one barrel in one gun is a pain. One would have to hire Facility services for something like a Funfling.



And Too much metal engravings for my liking.
