W.W. GREENER Model GP Take Down 12g Single Barrel Martini Action Shotgun. Full Choke and plain none-ribbed 28” (710mm) barrel with a Single Front Sighting Bead. 14 ¼ (370mm) Pull combining for an overall length of 44 3/8” (1127mm) tipping scales at 6 Lbs 10 oz. (A straight 3 Kg).
Excellent overall condition with the Action retaining almost 100% of its original Brown tinged finish. Side position safety which may well swap over for a left handed shot (?). I would have to check and confirm. This is the Large Lever to the Right Hand Side. The Take Down screw is at the front of the action on the left. Loosen this and the barrel simply unscrews. Very light blemishes to what is quite a Bonny Stock. Nothing fantastic but certainly a lot better than the majority still out there with some Decent Pattern and Contrast.
These guns are becoming more and more collectable / desirable. Prices ARE or certainly seem to be going only one way and that’s UP. Two sold at auction W/C 09-02-2025, one at £240 on the hammer. The second, with the stock cut at three different lengths made £220. By the time 30% fees are added? Work it out for yourself and see how fare this price is!

As for the Lead Sh-t ‘FIASCO’? READ ON:
THERE ARE more and more None Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gun makers for their own entry into this debacle of modern day shooting. IF its so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters how is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?
Anyway, take a look for yourself:

NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.
YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!
On that note I AM looking into the possibility of stocking some direct from Steve at Horton’s. RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
