Icouldn’t resist asking Longthorne for a second gun to try. This time a standard – if you can call anything ‘standard’ from Longthorne – actioned piece. Where do I start with this stunning, 100% English-made beauty?
My full-time job, as a lot of you know, is being a shooting coach and my part-time job is reviewing guns. How lucky am I? The gun I tested here is a Longthorne 12-bore, 32in barrelled, sidelock. What is a sidelock, you ask? Or a boxlock or trigger-plate for that matter? When choosing a gun to test, I try to find a new model that has been recently released or something a bit different or unusual. Or I will go for an everyday gun that readers might be considering.
