Akah Drilling Rifle
Notes: The term
“Drilling” is an Americanization of the German word “dreiling”, which denoted a
rifle or shotgun with three barrels. The name of the rifle, “Akah,” is an
abbreviation of the primary designers, Albrecht Kind and Child; the Kind refers
to the fact that the Akah Drilling Rifle was designed for use by children, to
introduce them to a standard-size weapon.
The Akah Drilling Rifle was designed at the behest of the Akah Sporting
Goods Chain, and it sold in Germany at hardware goods stores as well as sports
supply stores. Normally, Akah buys
its weapons as a reduced price by buying in bulk, and then sells them (with a
license) under their own name.
The Akah
Drilling Rifle has a pistol grip wrist which is checkered; the fore-end is also
checkered. The two top barrels are chambered for 16 Gauge, while the center
lower barrel is chambered for 8mm Mauser.
Barrels are 25.5 inches long and have automatic ejectors. The forearm has
a Schnabel tip. The stock is a Mannlicher-type stock, with a raised cheekpiece,
though the butt is unadorned.
Shotgun barrels are of standard length instead of being capable of magnum
firing. The boxlock has engraved
side plated; on the tang is a safety which doubles as a barrel selector (the gun
is not capable of firing more than one barrel at a time).

Frankonia Scirocco
Notes: The
Scirocco is an over-and-under shotgun built for Frankonia by the Italian firm of
Lu-Mat. There are two basic
versions, the Scirocco Jagd and the Scirocco Trap.
They are in many ways basic shotguns, with only one length of barrels for
each (28 inches for the Jagd, and 30 inches for the Trap), and with fixed chokes
(1/2 or Full for the Jagd, and 3/4 or Full for the Trap).
The Jagd version also comes in a version with interchangeable chokes.
The barrels are lined with hard chrome and have a ventilated sighting rib
on top. The Jagd version has
extractors, while the trap has automatic shell ejectors.
Both have a single non-selective trigger; the Jagd model also comes in a
version with double triggers. The
Trap version has a florescent bead at the front of the barrel rib for easier
target acquisition, as well as a ventilated rib between the barrels to aid in
cooling. (The Jagd version’s
barrels are formed into a monobloc.) Left-handed versions of these guns may also
be had.
Twilight 2000
Notes: With the growing hostilities between Italy and Germany, Lu-Mat was
ordered by the Italian government to stop supplying these shotguns to Frankonia
in early 1996.

Greifelt 22
Notes: Meant to
appeal to export sales to the US in the 1940s, the Model 22 is a traditional
side-by-side, box lock, hammerless shotgun.
The Model 22 has a top lever on the tang that acts as safety and a
break-open lever. The barrels are also traditional, and may have Modified or
Full Choke; there is no provision for interchangeable chokes.
The stock is of walnut and is oil-finished; it may have a straight wrist
or semi-pistol grip. There is checkering on the grip or wrist and fore-arm;
there is also checkering on the cheekpiece, which is raised.
The Model 22E is the same shotgun with automatic ejectors.
For game purposes it is the same as the Model 22. The Model 103 has
barrels, one of which is Modified choke and one which is Full choke.
The Model 103E has automatic ejectors.
Both are identical to the Model 22 and 22E.

Krieghoff
K-80
This shotgun can
be used as a traditional over-and-under shotgun or, in some cases, a
single-barreled shotgun. The barrel
sets (or barrel) can be readily interchanged within types on some versions,
known as Combos. The barrels may
have fixed chokes or five interchangeable choke tubes (Cylinder, Skeet, Improved
Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full, and Super Full), can be had in any
natural choke the user desires. Fixed choke guns have improved Modified in the
bottom barrel and Full in the top barrel. All feature a raised, ventilated
barrel sighting rib that is set higher than the normal rib; Krieghoff says this
allows for more rapid target acquisition.
The barrel ribs are semi-adjustable for Point of Impact. The end of the
rib has a gold bead sight.
The K-80 Trap
has 30 or 32-inch barrels; Unsingle (single-barrel versions) have a 30, 32, or
34-inch barrel. Unsingle barrels
with interchangeable choke tubes come with three instead of five.
They use Monte Carlo stocks and exposed hammers. Combo versions with
Unsingle barrels attach those barrels to the bottom barrel position.
Combo versions with interchangeable come with five choke tubes.
The barrel is blued black, and the furniture Select European walnut; the
receiver is color-case hardened, but you can’t really tell this due to the
copious engraving and relief work.
Triggers are golf-plated. The
barrel selector is on the tang and is combined with the safety.
The butt has a thick recoil pad.
The K-80 Trap special is the same in game terms, but has titanium choke
tubes, an adjustable comb, and adjustable angle-off for the twin barrels.
The K-80 Skeet
uses American #5 walnut for its furniture.
It may have a wide or tapered rib, and the rib has a matte finish.
Stocks vary; some use a trap stock with an adjustable comb, some use the
“Olympic Skeet” stock, and some use a Monte Carlo stock; all have a pistol grip
wrist with hand checkering on that wrist and the fore-end.
The standard Skeet gun has a fixed choke, but the Skeet Special can
accept interchangeable choke tubes and also may have a rig that starts 8mm wide
and tapers to 7mm, and one that starts at 12mm wide and tapers to 8mm wide.
The barrels are 28 or 30 inches, and porting is an option.
The butt has a thick recoil pad.
The K-80
Sporting is similar to the Trap, but is generally fancier in appointments, with
excellent wood grain (#3 European walnut), a padded butt, and scrollwork on the
receiver, which may be of nitride finish, nickel finish, or nickel finish with
exceptional engraving and scrollwork.
Triggers are gold-plated.
Barrels are blued-black. 28”
barrels come with five interchangeable choke tubes; 30 and 32-inch barrels come
with either fixed chokes or interchangeable choke tubes; and the 34-inch barrels
come with fixed chokes only. The
sights, in addition to the sighting rib, are white pearl front and center
sights. The fore-end has a Schnabel
tip.

Merkel 40E
Notes: This
shotgun, like virtually all Merkel shotguns, is as much a work of art as a
functional weapon. The Model 40 is
a shotgun which has been around a long time, yet has been continually updated
and improved to keep up with the times.
The Model 40 is a side-by-side double barreled shotgun.
The Model 40 is one of the most “basic” shotguns that Merkel produces,
yet it is made to exacting specifications.
The Model 40 has Greener locking, with a double barrel lug and an Anson &
Deeley box lock with upper cocking bars.
The standard trigger is a double trigger, but single trigger variants
have also existed since 1993, with a barrel selector.
In 1995, the barrels were strengthened to enable the Merkel 40 to fire
steel shot if necessary for environmental reasons.
There are a large number of chamberings which have been available over
the years, but since 1995, the 12-gauge model has been available only for 3-inch
shells. The Model 40E has automatic
shell ejectors. Standard barrel
length for the 12 and 16 gauge models is 28 inches; for all other chamberings,
it is 26.75 inches. Choke is fixed,
but may be 1/2, Full, 1/4, 3/4, or Cylindrical.
The Model 50E is a luxury version of the Model 40E, with
intricately-engraved side plates, breeches, and chambers; it is identical to the
Model 40E for game purposes.

Merkel 47
Notes: The Model
47 is basically a Model 40E, but both improved and simplified.
The action includes Anson & Deeley boxlocks with cocking indicators, side
clips, and a receiver ledge.
Locking is done with a Greener crossbolt with double underbarrel locking lugs.
The trigger may have a single selective trigger (right, then left) or a
double trigger (right for the front trigger, rear for the left).Case ejection is
automatic and based on Holland & Holland ejectors.
The premium walnut stock is oil-finished and can have a straight wrist or
pistol grip wrist. The receiver is color case-hardened, engraved in an Arabesque
pattern. The locks are high
strength, and the barrels (28-inch for 12 and 16 gauge, 26.75-inch for 20 gauge)
are cold hammer forged and have a solid sighting rib. Choke is fixed, but may be
1/2, Full, 1/4, 3/4, or Cylindrical.
The butt has a recoil pad.
The Model 47SL
has luxury wood and is identical in game terms to the Model 47E. The Model 147E
is the same, but is self-cocking upon closing of the action and has a 28-gauge
option. The Model 147EL uses Luxury Grade wood.
The Model 147SL has not only Luxury Grade wood, but Fine Grade engraving
of the side plates. The Model 147SS is similar to the Model 147SL, but has
quick-detach side plates. The Model 247SLK has Fancy Grade wood and Fine Grade
engraving, and a slightly different mix of barrel lengths. The Model 447SL is
the same, but uses small scroll engraving.

Merkel 60
Notes: This is
modification of the Model 40E, with genuine Holland & Holland side locks, two
barrel lengths (26.75 and 28 inches) for each chambering, and if anything, even
more highly decorated than even the Model 50, with designs often inlaid with
gold. The stock is of select
walnut, and the stock has a pistol grip wrist and a cheek plate.
Twilight 2000
Notes: The 28 gauge model was not made available until 1995, and is thus quite
rare in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Merkel
2000EL
Notes: This is
similar to Merkel’s other shotguns in design and function; however, the action
is a self-cocking (upon closing the action), modified Anson & Deeley boxlock,
and the locking mechanism is a Kersten double crossbolt lock with a release
mechanism. It may have a single
selective trigger (the barrel is chosen by a selector on the tang, which also is
a manual safety), or by a double trigger (the front trigger fires the right
barrel, and the rear the left barrel). The Sporter has coil spring ejectors for
spent shells, but these are user-convertible to extractors. The barrel is cold
hammer-forged, heat-treated, and hand-fitted to the receiver (pretty much, the
entire shotgun is hand-fitted to the user). The barrels are over-and-under, and
for the 12 Gauge model, 28 inches long.
A Sporter version has 30-inch barrels. The 20 and 28 gauge models have
26.75-inch barrels, with the Sporter version having 28-inch barrels. Atop the
top barrel is a solid aiming rib. The stock can have a straight wrist or pistol
grip wrist, and the wood is Luxury Grade and finished with hand-rubbed oil. The
side plates are simply and tastefully engraved. Sporters have ventilated
fore-ends. The receiver is silver-grayed, with Arabesque engraving. The Models
2001EL, 2001 EL Sporter, and 2002EL are updated versions which differ primarily
in the pattern of engraving on the side plates and receiver; for game purposes,
they a identical to the 2000EL. The
Model 303EL differs in using Holland & Holland sidelocks and not having a
Sporter version; it is also otherwise identical in game terms.

Rottwell
Super Trap Combination Gun
Notes:
This is a different approach to a combination gun; instead of a
combination of different gauges or a rifle and a shotgun, the Rottwell Super
Trap is a combination of a single barrel and double-barrel weapon.
This is accomplished with a set of barrels.
Each barrel set has its own trigger unit, chambers, and barrels with
sighting ribs. The single barrel
unit has a single trigger and a balance/weight tube below it so it weighs the
same as the double barrel unit; the double barrel unit has a trigger mechanism
with a single trigger and a button to allow choice of upper barrel, lower
barrel, or consecutive barrel fire.
(Both barrels cannot be fired at the same time.)
Both units fit into the same stock and fore-end piece.
The stock is of hand-checkered French walnut of excellent quality and
finish. The bores are hand-honed,
and a Rottwell is not allowed out of the factory until it is functioning
flawlessly.
