Henry Atkin Spring Opener Sidelock

Henry Atkin is synonymous with beauty. Since 1875 Atkin has been building exquisite, elegant guns that are both incredibly subtle and intricate, yet demand the attention of the room. They deserve to be recognised and adored.

Available in 12 bore, 16 bore and 20 bore, the Henry Atkin Spring Opener is an elegant and traditional side by side, with over 150 years of heritage hand build into every gun.

The action is based on the famed 'Beesley' self-opening action with improved Purdey patent. With options on bespoke engraving, from game scenes to classic relief scroll, colour hardened or coin finish, and stocks built to the customers specific requirements and measurements, you can create a masterpiece unique to you.

I am particularly pleased with the smoothness of opening and the uniformity of the effort required to close it, there are no hard spots, which is more than one can say of some self-opening ejectors.
