I am from Melbourne. My father used a WW Greener hammerless shotgun when he was young and living in Dunolly, Victoria. I have a picture of him with it. I believe the people he knew still have it. Also there is another one in the Dunolly museum. He told me that it had a kick of a mule when fired. Nice video and don,t get rid of the gun as they are extremely rare in Australia I was told.
Awesome info to hear, thanks for sharing. Thing is mine is a beautiful gun to shoot with 1oz loads as designed. It just gets savage on the 1-1/8th loads. It has been proofed for 1-1/4 but I won't exceed the 1-1/8th.
@@LtFrankDrebbin I have to laught at myself here as I thought you meant WA as in Western Australia!! I take it you live in Washington state in the USA??
I have very much noticed the same pattern. It all seems to be thermal now. Yes I am guilty of using NV as of late purely for the vermin control side. But day calling with the shotgun can't be beat!
Nice Greener looks like F25 or ejector FH25, game gun? Chokes?. I shot 6 foxes this year with my BSA s/s with BB, 15-30m, BB kill well and break bones. Wheres about in WA?
Not sure what model or grade, those marks are quite faint now. The proof marks put it in the 1896-1904 manufacture range. But yeah auto ejector chokes are 1/2 & full. There is something so elegant the way an old English SxS handles. Sometimes I think I don't deserve this one. And yes WA. Thanks for watching.
Nice, I have a Greener book with all the models & grades, with the serial no. I can date the gun. The amount of engraving is a good indication of grade, nitro proof 1 1/4oz generally 2 3/4" chamber, 1 1/8 oz 2 1/2".
@@bruceyeoward6544 Cheers thanks, I have done a little google digging just recently and found info that was not available when I first got the gun. According to serial no# I believe it is a hand made gun from 1902

Sadly in U.K. fox driving and calling seems to be a thing of the past , it’s all rifles and thermal now
