Many of the early side by side guns (pre-WWII) were made by H.A. Lindner and then J.P. Sauer, both in Germany. My only Daly was a Sauer made 16 gauge SxS dating from 1904 and marked 'Made In Prussia'. Although a lower grade Sauer, it was still very well made. It had 26" barrels (original length) made of Krupp fluid steel, and clean, original bores. Weighed in at 5lbs, 11.7oz and ordered by the original owner in Grand Rapids Mich., almost certainly as a grouse gun.

That three barrel shotgun is one goofy looking gun. It looks to be marketed to the guy who has everything, I can’t see where it’s very practical but it definitely would be a conversation starter.

Charles Daly is a trade name that’s been passed around more than the Kardashian sisters at a NBA post game party. They’ve never actually built any firearms, just contracted with other makers and put their names on them. In the long past they had some quality guns but in recent times they’ve trended towards the low end market.

I have a few of their rifles from when the name was owned by KBI and they were importing Zastava mausers from Serbia. Zastava makes a good functional mauser 98 action that comes a bit rough from the factory but can be made into something really nice in the hands of a good gunsmith.

John Browning used to purchase his rifle barrels from a firm called, Schoverling, Daly, and Gales.

He sent them a letter asking them how to patent a rifle. They sent him the name and address of a patent lawyer. The rest is history.

Yep, that triple-barrel does set one back by appearance.

Too expensive to use exclusively for home defense BUT just imagine the look on the perp's face upon encountering such. If face is intact after use that is!

My brother bought a CD 1911. POS doesn’t feed worth a shyt. Even ball ammo jams.

I used to have a Charles Daly pump shotgun. Used to. POS wouldn’t even chamber a shell.
