Many of us are in possession of American double guns used as competition pigeon or trap guns for a hundred years or more. Many are still in good shape mechanically even though they were only in the post war years were they shot with less than 1 1/4 ounce loads. Careful use usually means taking action when any looseness if experienced. If the gun is kept tight and carefully closed and opened, almost any make of quality American gun will last 120 years or more.
