"The Charlin action is similar to the better known Darne action, however, the quality of work shown here is far superior to anything turned out by the latter with the silky smooth action slide riding on ball bearings. Very few firearms were made by this little known maker, however, if this were the only surviving specimen, it would be testimony enough to ensure his standing as one of the world's greatest gunmakers. This particular specimen was made for the Maharajah of Patiala who presented it as a gift to an American engineer working in India for Pratt and Whitney. Overall a work of art of the highest order and featured in a Bill Headrick photo spread and article in the Spring issue of "Double Gun Journal". Mechanically and esthetically perfect, of museum quality throughout, and absolutely irreplaceable.", Similar threads J Bass Pro Shops is anti-gun Juna Feb 12, 2007 General Gun Discussions 2 3 Replies 69 Views 9K Feb 18, 2007 QuackAddict Q J, Deleted Deleted Member Posts: 0 Bass Pro Shop Open on Thanksgiving Day Nov 21, 2017 19:37:17 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by Deleted on Nov 21, 2017 19:37:17 GMT -5 I received an add for a five day sale starting on the 22nd to Sunday, Open Thanksgiving Day 8am-6pm.I will not patronize companies that are open on Holidays.
