OT: TTN 1878 Shotgun?

patrick_ford · Post by **patrick_ford** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 10:15 pm

I've been looking around for these beauties for a while and can only find blued 20" barreled versions from Taylor's, Cimarron and EMF. I have seen versions that are color-case hardened on the receiver and have heard about 26" barrels on them. Does anyone know where a CCH version with 26" barrels can be found?

Thanks,

Patrick

I'm pretty sure I had the last of the 26" TTN's. The only one's of those that were color-cased were those I did.

There was two with straight english style stocks too.

TTN doesn't do them in color-case anymore so I'm doing them now.

The next ones will have Color-cased recievers and hammer with blue lock plates and blue 20" barrels.

Something like this.

Nate,
Just outta curiosity, did those English straight gripped styles have more drop at the comb than the PG versions? It might just be the angle its sitting in that pic, but that looks like a fair drop.

Welcome to the fire Patrick. It's always good to hear from fans of Mule Eared shotguns!

Please excuse my ignorance, but where are those TTN guns made?

Thanks Gamekeeper. I've been a lurker here for a while, but sometimes a man has got to ask his own questions.

TTN guns are made in China.

Steve, could you message me a let me know how much you charge for the CCH finish on one of these 1878 shotguns. Do you have any with the full CCH treatment left like in your 2nd and 3rd picture?

Thanks,

Patrick

I've got one of the 20 inch TTN 1878's. It has a LOT of drop in the stock, it took some practice and deliberate though to be able to hit hand thrown clays with it.
