Gun Extras
For Side by Side and Over & Under Guns

We offer an extensive number of extras and we will quote for any variation from the standard gun when an order is taken. Below are some of the options customers may wish to consider.

Action shape
Either square bar, round bar or ultra round bar. The ultra round bar action also has rounded locks to carry the completely rounded shape over the whole action and on to the shape of the stock.

Gun Extras

Ovals
Monograms, initials and ovals in gold or silver. Purdey will make any variations of inlays and engraved ovals the customer specifies.

Gold naming and lettering
All naming on barrels and actions can be specified in terms of lettering style and gold inlays.

Single trigger
Customers may specify the Purdey single trigger, which is used on both side by side and over & under guns. It has a fixed firing sequence, firing right (side by side) or lower barrel (over & under) first.

Spring bladed front trigger
The front trigger blade is articulated to alleviate damage to the trigger finger on firing the second barrel.

Beaded edge to bow of guard
Alleviates damage to the trigger finger that might be caused by the edge of the trigger bow.

Gun Extras

Third grip
This is an additional fastening at the top of the standing breech and is available for 12, 16 and 20-bore side by side guns. It is advised for guns which may shoot heavier loads.

Side clips
These afford additional lateral support to the barrels on the standing breech. Again associated with heavier guns.

Recoil pads
Recoil pads can be fitted in plain rubber or leather covered. Engraved metal heel & toe pieces or skeleton butt-plates are also available.

Pistol grips
These are designed according to the strength of the grip the shooter requires. The categories are: full pistol grip, half pistol grip and Prince of Wales pistol grip (POW grip). Each category is available with either metal cap, ebony cap, plain wood or rounded make off.

Safety
This can be either automatic or non-automatic. The automatic safe is usually associated with game guns; the gun always returns to safe on opening. The non-automatic safe always has to be made safe by the shooter.

Forends
Purdey will make forends shaped to any requirement. The traditional shape is the splinter forend. Customers may specify the beavertail forend which gives a strong grip for the front hand. It also protects the fingers from hot barrels.
