Other Notes: The vendor has kindly provided us with the following:
"I ordered the Stephen Grant 20bore no. 25023 from Don Custerson in 2017 as I use him as my gunsmith. I had had two extremely wet grouse days and the 20 bore I was using then had a split forend, hence the visit to Don's. At that time he showed me the first 12 bore Stephen Grant he had designed and built and said why don't you have one of these. After lengthy discussion and thought I put the order in for the first 20 bore he was going to make to this design with Atkin Grant and Lang. I eventually got the gun at the end of January 2018, and shot with it on February 1st. It was a good windy day and a joy to use.
I shot with it for three seasons all over the country and with varying degrees of success. It is a very well balanced gun. Sadly, my personal balance is stuffed and I have had to retire from shooting and now shoot with a camera."
