Overview

This GERMANY drilling is a German Military-era Side By Side tri-barrel configuration featuring a 16 gauge double barrel alongside a 9.3x72R rifle barrel. The action is described as triple barrel with a double trigger and a 26″ barrel length, offering a compact-but-capable balance for close to mid-range tasks. The barrels are made from “Fluss Stahl” (fluid steel), and sights include a bead for shotgun use and a flip-up rifle sight for the 9.3x72R tube. Safety is a traditional Greener left-side safety, with a top-mounted switch to select shotgun or rifle firing modes.

Notable Specifications & Condition Notes

Key features to understand: the chambering pairing (16 Gauge & 9.3x72R) makes this drilling flexible—16 gauge is effective for bird and small-game defense scenarios with manageable recoil, while the 9.3x72R rifle tube provides substantial stopping power for larger game or defensive breaches at longer distances. The action reportedly functions with a tight breech and a top-mounted selector for quick transition between shotgun and rifle. Cosmetic and service notes include an engraved “Hubertus” on the inner action, tarnishing and plating wear on the action and trigger guard, a crack in the lower left butt plate, scuffs in the stock, and a missing lower rivet on the leather strap. These are important for maintenance planning and value assessment.

Brand context: German Military build quality and the “Various” model lineage mean robust engineering with historical value. This piece is offered at $3,499.99 and listed under the Side By Side category.

Field Use, Handling, and Tactical Considerations

For tactical operators or collectors seeking a multifunction tool, the 26″ barrels keep swing and sighting predictable while retaining power. The double trigger layout affords mechanical redundancy and fast switching between barrels; the Greener safety is familiar and reliable. Expect the 9.3x72R to deliver deep penetration and the 16 gauge to remain controllable for follow-up shots. Regular inspection is recommended given the age-related wear described, particularly the butt plate crack and worn plating.
