I found a Skarie but it seems to be a different model than all the other ones I’ve seen. It’s running an AH-36 engine and it has a different fuel tank

Get left hand saws in the shop all the time. Customer brings it in and says " It won't run right".
Must be a left hand saw.

Strange the World of chainsaws where everything on this site puts the emphasis on safety first
I am totally left handed and left footed and left eyed, I even mount a bicycle and other things from the right side!
There are hundreds of bits of equipment for the likes of me, from left handed fountain pens, to shotguns, to scissors, to electric guitars many listed here on Amazon

And yet I am forced to use a right handed saw against all my instincts and strengths
my weaker eye is lined with the blade when I use a right handsaw.
Something like ten percent of the population is left handed, surely there are enough of us there for the likes of Stihl and Husky to produce a left handed option on their major saws

Well I would like to know how many left handed shotguns Winchester and Remington ever produced compared to right hands.
I inherited a Westley Richards side by side double barrelled twelve gauge with a single trigger. There is a switch by the trigger to fire either the left or right barrel first. This works for a lefthander like me
There were several with bent stocks for people who shot from the right shoulder but were left eye dominant, so the barrels lined up with their leading eye

I’ve had several people ask me to sell it to them so to make it fair I plan on putting it up for public bid on eBay shortly. That way everyone has a shot at owning it
And you’ll lose 20% of the money bid on eBay fees. Make it fair? Just sell the thing to an established collector and be done. Nice find for sure. There won’t be many bidders on that rascal. Nobody knows it’s out there.I’ve had several people ask me to sell it to them so to make it fair I plan on putting it up for public bid on eBay shortly. That way everyone has a shot at owning it
I do not like making Ebay or Uship rich thus I try to avoid them. I list my saws here and on the "other site" Yes some end up on ebay but only after a time here and elsewhere.
the barrels are choked differently. the switch is so you can pick a tight choke or a more open choke for the 1st shot. not for right or left hand.

Wood and Steel. Yep.
Thus began the eternal flame thread "Castor vs Hemp oil in 2-stroke?"
Nice pics in this thread.
I had a side by side Fox with two triggers. When you pulled them both it let you know
You are quite correct, I suppose the single trigger alone makes the gun ambidextrous, anyway not bad for being manufactured in 1896 as a hammer less gun. Great grandfather bought it and gave it to father who had it re barrelled in the 1950s and gave it to me and it is still going strong
That is a beautiful shogun. Those barrels are beautiful. You probably know not to shoot modern Ammo in it. But, you could load up some black powder shells and have some fun with it. I did not know Colt ever made a shotgun. I know they got into a pissing context with Winchester when they made the Lightning series of slide action rifles. Winchester showed Colt some revolver prototypes they were considering and apparently that was enough to push Colt out of the long gun business. Real nice shotgun.
thanks. I shot sporting clays with it for years. use RST low pressure modern shells made for old damascus shotguns. having said that, any damascus shotgun should be checked out by a competent gunsmith before firing anything. not any gunsmith but one who specializes in old shotguns. there are loads of old shotguns out there that are just plain worn out. barrels can get thin.
