Hi everyone, I use snap caps for all my double rifles, double rifle drillings and combination guns. It’s important to use ones without anodizing. In my Merkle, I had some with red anodizing, and after a short time, superficial corrosion developed in the chamber. After I polished the snap caps...

It is done. :cool: My 500 cartridges for the 11.2x72R Schüler have finally arrived. These were custom-made, based on the chamber of my double rifle drilling. It wasn't exactly cheap, but in my opinion, it was worth every penny. Now it's time to develop a load (without any initial data)...

Look at those massive fences around the rifle barrels. :oops: Emil Kerner double rifle drilling (11,2x72R Schüler)

My Heym 37b double rifle drilling. :sneaky: All around workhorse for driven hunts and the classic stalking gun in autumm, when a lot of small game is open too.

Hi guys and happy new year from Bavaria. German and Austrian double rifles and double rifle drillings are often regulated for longer ranges (typically 100 m in this case). The calibers ranging from 7 mm to approx. 11.2 mm (also in the black powder era) were used here not only for driven hunts...

Hello everyone, Since I have some time right now, I would like to look into reloading for my 11.2x72R Schüler. Unfortunately, there is almost no data available on this cartridge. The rimless version is available in Quickload (reloading program), but I don't want to overload the break action...

right side left side stock magzine cap

That could be the case, of course, but the engraving is very European with roe deer on one side, red deer on the other and a boar on the stock magazine cap. :unsure: The stock of the rifle is also stocked in such a way, that the rifle should mainly be shot via the scope and the barrel rib/open...

I'm sure he had the most precise ideas about his weapon. Wild boar or stag, I can't say, but the weapon was never buried (as is unfortunately often the case in Germany after the lost war), which would indicate that it was used abroad. The 11.2 Schüler is very powerful, around 6500 Joules, so it...

Thank you for all the compliments. I'm also very, very happy that I got the double rifle drilling. (y) The mechanical condition is nearly perfect. It seems, that only the right barrel was ever really shot (it shows some wear) but all three are bright, which is good. It locks up tight (also with...

Hi guys, I'm new here so please forgive me if it's a bit bumpy at the start. I want to show you my my latest purchase, a big game double rifle drilling made by Emil Kerner (Suhl) well before the 2nd World War, probably around 1920.(y) It's chambered in the ultra rare calibre 11,2x72R Schüler and...
