Hu , you know as well as I do they don't have a bayonet lug on a drilling gun ha ha

I'd love to own one but I'll never have enough money to get one now .

Always wondered why they called the over/under rifle and shotgun combo's drillings but not an over/under shotgun. I always kinda wanted one and had I got the right six numbers I might have. I did own a few over/under shotguns and the last one was great. Not expensive, a Browning, but it fit me right. That thing came up on target and quicker than a snake!

Reminds me of flying Delta. They started off as a crop dusting company in the Mississippi delta and they are still flying some of those planes! I got on a Delta in Dallas bound for New Orleans. Last leg of a trip to Hawaii. I happened to get a seat over the wing and once we were in the air I looked down at the wing. I didn't mind the tape covering about half of the wing. What bothered me was the loose bolts and welds so bad that I wouldn't have climbed in a bateau on the bayou with welds that looked like that!

I kept a careful eye on things in case I needed to tell the crew the wing was in immanent danger of falling off. I also made a solemn vow to never climb on another Delta without doing my personal walkdown!

I took a commuter flight from Atlanta to Knoxville once , when the pilot revved up the engines for take off I noticed the rivets that held the row of seats in front of me were all spinning as if they were trying to keep up with the reve rate of the motors ha ha

The three barrel gun was originally a German design. Drei translates from German to English as three.

The gun pictured earlier in this thread is a vierling, German for quad.
Quite versatile, including the .22 Hornet up top, a pair of 8x57 rimmed, comparable to 8mm Mauser/30.06 and a 20 gauge on the bottom.

Beautiful weapon!
 
I totally agree , I'd love the chance to hunt or even just shoot a gun like that . In all honesty I'd be afraid to own a rifle like that because I know me I can be hard on my hunting firearms just because I don't always hunt in the easiest places to get into or out of at times .
