I had always dreamed of having a Dickson round action or a Stephen Grant to shoot quail over my Irish Setters. I have a beautiful A G& L rebuilt 29” with stunning wood made to my measurements, at 6lb 8oz it is a delight. The only fly in the ointment is that it has the Grant patent coil spring ejectors, as designed by his son, I had a slide break soon after purchase. Thankfully Carl Russell of AG&L made a new set mailed them back to me here in Australia and the real bonus is that we have a gunsmith here ( Kevin Sharpe ) who was able to fix it without the drama of returning it to Britain.
Beautiful gun.
I have a Grant from the same era.
They all seem to have gorgeous wood.

Robert,
My gun had a similar problem.
I guess it’s one of the small burdens of owning a vintage gun.
