Here are some photos of my Ishapore .410 conversion…I believe it’s a 1917 and was converted in 1930. Note the former volley sight stock..And yes that’s a DP buttstock..as this didn’t have one at all when I bought it..nor did it have a bolt..I can report that it shoots like a champ. One question that I have is..why are there two serial numbers? One on the usual place on the top/side of the receiver and the other one is under the nomenclature.

that looks to be a representative example of what they did to these rifles , as a shotgun i never had much satisfaction with mine , even the one that was bored out for US 410 was marginal in performance for me

It really is a smooth operating weapon..and the minimal recoil takes some getting used to. Unfortunately the ammo is a little difficult to find

I need to finish up the ones I have. I bought 5 when Century was clearing them out and have overhauled one so far. They are fun.

They certainly are fun…The whole single shot and that strange round makes for a bizarre range experience…I might actually get another one

I have one that I am using to train a six year old Granddaughter. 

This is from a bench and sandbag setup.
Always looking for military manuals, Dodge M37 items,books on Berlin Germany, old atlases ( before 1946) , military maps of Scotland. English and Canadian gun parts.
