Dickson shotguns were some of the finest ever built. I’d venture a guess and say that this triple barrel gun had probably 800 to 1000 hours of hand labor put into it. A lot of these guns are still being used in the field, even after 100+ years.

That is fabulous. I’ll never get to fire it, but i’m hoping there’s duck hunting in heaven.

I use a 12ga sidexside for upland gamebird hunting. I doubt the 3rd barrel would help me much as the birds are usually too long gone before I’d get off a 3rd shot. I would however, like to own a drilling (2 shotgun barrels over a rifle barrel).

Not as technically difficult as making a triple barrelled rifle, but still a fantastic piece of craftsmanship and history!

For those hard to kill gobblers just pull all three triggers at the same time and a wall of lead is on its way.

Would also be fun to meet a home intruder in the hallway looking down three barrels.

I once had an old Western Field double barrel in 16 gauge.

It was the fastest pointer I ever fired and was good for any bird if close enough.

If you had a long reach for ducks and geese flying high...it couldn't reach 'em.

But for hunting the cornfields for pheasant or the marches and canals for ducks....look out. Perfect balance, perfect throw.

I sure miss that gun.
