Description
There is something about a case colored receiver and real walnut that a synthetic stock just can't match. The Dickinson Plantation over/under leans into that tradition without leaning on shortcuts. The receiver starts as a solid billet of moly-chrome steel, gets CNC machined for tight modern tolerances, then finishes with genuine bone charcoal case hardening, the old-school process that gives it those swirling blues and browns. Add English scroll engraving across the cosmetic side plates and you have a 20 gauge that draws attention every time it comes out of the truck.
Plantation Over/Under Craftsmanship
Under the surface, this is a trigger plate mechanism gun, a design borrowed from high-grade doubles and built here with CNC machined lever mainsprings for consistent, reliable lockup. The stock and beavertail fore-end are premier grade Turkish walnut with a hand rubbed oil finish and fine 24 lines per inch checkering, capped off with a checkered wood butt plate. Sighting runs down a vent rib with an ivory front bead and mid bead, and the manual safety keeps things simple and familiar.
A 20 Gauge That Carries Easy
The 26 inch barrel version is the quick handler of the Plantation lineup. It's the length a lot of grouse and quail hunters gravitate toward, fast to the shoulder in tight cover and light enough to carry all day without complaint. Five thin-wall choke tubes come in the box, so you can run it open for close flushes or tighten up for late season birds and longer clays presentations.
Why the Dickinson Plantation Earns Its Spot
Guns with this level of finish work, true bone charcoal case colors, hand fitted walnut, engraved side plates, usually live in a much higher tax bracket. The Plantation brings that classic double gun character within reach of folks who plan to hunt with it, not just admire it. If your gun cabinet has been waiting for a proper 20 gauge over/under, this one fills the slot nicely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Dickinson Plantation over/under come with choke tubes?
Yes, it ships with a set of five thin-wall choke tubes. That covers you from open patterns for close flushing birds to tighter constrictions for longer shots, so you can set the gun up for whatever you're hunting or shooting that day.
Is the case hardening on the Plantation real or just a printed finish?
It's the real deal. Dickinson uses true bone charcoal case hardening on a receiver machined from a solid billet of moly-chrome steel, the same traditional process used on classic high-grade doubles. Each receiver ends up with its own unique pattern of case colors.
Is a 26 inch barrel a good choice for a 20 gauge over/under?
For upland hunting in thicker cover, absolutely. The shorter barrels make the gun quicker to mount and swing on fast flushing birds like grouse, woodcock, and quail. If you shoot mostly clays or open country birds, some folks prefer the longer 28 inch version for a smoother swing, but the 26 inch is a great all-around field length.
Are the side plates on the Plantation functional?
The side plates are cosmetic. The actual lockwork is a precision trigger plate mechanism, a proven design used in quality double guns, and the engraved plates give the gun the look of a much more expensive sidelock. You get the classic appearance with a simpler, reliable mechanism underneath.
