I sometimes have extra sub caliber insert barrels or "einstecklaufs" for drillings and combination guns. But, I always try to have some reserved for drilling buyers. See "accessories" page for more info on these fine accessories.

"Hunting with combined Shotgun/Rifles or multi-barreled guns is a typically Continental hunting tradition, where many different types of game live in close proximity in small habitats. Combination weapons allow the hunter to collect different game with one and the same weapon. A very practical solution for hunting ranges with diverse game whose shooting seasons overlap.
From the gunmaker's point of view, the crafting of combined guns & rifles represents the highest challenge. From the individual design aimed at crafting a weapon that will be a pleasure to handle, to the conjoining of multiple barrels, the building of the inner mechanisms and last but not least the regulating and test-shooting of multiple barrels, combined weapons and multi-barrelled guns are the true test of expert craftsmanship." Johann Fanzoj Ferlach, Austria, Founded 1790

Drilling makers
I get a lot of questions about who makes/made the best drillings and combination guns. There were many small makers who were good. The most popular maker in Germany where people are very discriminating with regard to these classic hunting weapons is JP Sauer. I would have to agree they are very solid, accurate and reliable guns. I also like Merkel guns and Krieghoff, though they're more expensive. The Austrians also made some fine drillings. I pretty much limited the ones I bring in to those makers. I also feel the earlier guns were better made than the current production guns that are semi-mass produced on CNC equipment with monoblocked barrels with minimal handwork and less time spent on things like barrel regulation, fit & finish. Those early guns from the 50-70's with all the handwork would be prohibitively expensive to build today. Many of those artisans have moved on to the big gun shop in the sky, taking their skills with them.
