  • A User Review of the CZ / Huglu Model "Bobwhite" Shotguns in 20 and 28 Gauge
    A User Review of the CZ / Huglu Model "Bobwhite" Shotguns in 20 and 28 Gauge Sharptail and Straightshooter Copyright 2006 All Rights Reserved Background On May 11th, 1875, Messrs William Anson and John Deeley were granted a patent for the design of a side by side shotgun action. They assigned the patent to Westley Richards, the firm that employed them both. The Anson & Deeley design became known as the "boxlock" and it changed the world of shotgun manufacturing. Westley Richards Boxlock So successful was the design that it was copied by all gun producing nations. The inherent values of a boxlock are simplicity and ease of construction, reliability and (most importantly) an ability to distribute weight correctly. Equipped with an appropriate set of barrels, the boxlock SxS is a fine handling gun - fast and a natural pointer. For many years the "meat and potatoes" gun of the common man was the boxlock non ejector (BLNE). Compared to his Lordship's Purdeys, the BLNE was a plain gun indeed, but it retained the virtue of being a good shooter and millions of examples were produced all over the world. Today, the "meat and potatoes" role is played by repeaters - pumps and automatics made entirely by machines. As efficient as the boxlock is, it still requires hand fitting - labour - and cannot compete on a cost basis with the repeaters. This turn of events has repositioned the boxlock SxS as a luxury item. Purchasers of these guns today are willing to pay more for superior handling, and perhaps for the nostalgia as well.

THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL SHOULD ALWAYS ACCOMPANY THIS FIREARM AND BE TRANSFERRED WITH IT UPON CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP, OR WHEN THE FIREARM IS LOANED OR PRESENTED TO ANOTHER PERSON. KY 3/01 C R11 WHY ARE WE INCLUDING A FIRED CARTRIDGE CASE WITH EVERY RUGER PISTOL AND REVOLVER? Certain states and jurisdictions now require that all newly manufactured pistols and revolvers must be accompanied by a cartridge case, which has been test fired from that gun at the factory. The case must be placed in a sealed container bearing certain information concerning this test cartridge. At the time of retail sale in those jurisdictions, firearms dealers must forward such test cartridge to a designated destination such as their State Police Laboratory. As independent Ruger Distributors have nationwide markets without territorial restrictions, we have decided to include a fired cartridge case with all new Ruger pistols and revolvers, to minimize the possibility of inadvertent non- compliance with these laws. Retail customers located in other states, where laws or regulations do not require the dealer to so act, may be assured that the fired cartridge case they receive with the firearm at the time of retail purchase is proof that your new Ruger firearm has undergone our normal test firing procedures during manufacture.
