In this thread: Help identifying Grand dad's rifle
And number of people asked the question is the double-O/U gun of Iron Monster's a "drilling."
Just so folks know, the term "drilling" is an English bastardization of the German term "dreiling," which means "third" (3rd).
From the German word for three (3) which is "drei"
drei translation English | German dictionary | Reverso
So, if it ain't got three (3) barrels, it isn't a "drilling."
Sorry for being pedantic, but I just thought a few people would like to know.
