Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There is something about a case hardened receiver and real oiled walnut that makes a shotgun feel like it belongs in the field, and the Dickinson Plantation in .410 delivers that old-world character without an old-world price of admission. Each receiver starts as a solid billet of moly-chrome steel, gets machined on modern CNC equipment, then finishes with genuine bone charcoal case hardening, the traditional process that produces those swirling blues and browns no two guns share exactly. Cosmetic side plates give the engraver more canvas, and the English scroll coverage makes good use of it.
Under the classic looks, the Plantation runs a proven trigger plate mechanism with CNC-machined lever mainsprings, so lockup is tight and the action breaks open and closes with a satisfying, vault-like feel. The 28 inch over/under barrels wear a vent rib topped with an ivory-colored front bead and mid bead, which helps you keep your eye tracking down the rib on crossing birds and clays alike. In .410, this gun carries light and swings quick, exactly what you want for a long afternoon chasing quail or dove, or for burning through a case of shells on the skeet field without your shoulder complaining.
Dickinson fits these guns with premier Grade 2.5 Turkish walnut, hand rubbed with oil and finished with fine hand checkering at 24 lines per inch. The beavertail-style forend fills the lead hand nicely, and the checkered wood butt plate keeps the traditional theme going right to the back of the gun. Wood this nice usually shows up on doubles costing considerably more.
The .410 bore has a loyal following for good reason. It sharpens your fundamentals, it is a blast on clays, and it makes an outstanding gun for introducing newer wing shooters to a proper double. Add a manual safety, a two-shot break-open action that is simple to run and simple to clean, and finish work you will catch yourself admiring in the gun rack, and the Plantation makes a strong case as both a working upland gun and a keeper you pass down.
No, the .410 version of the Plantation comes with fixed chokes. The larger gauges in the series ship with a set of thin-wall choke tubes, but Dickinson builds the .410 barrels with fixed constrictions that are well suited to typical small-bore ranges. For upland birds and skeet distances, they pattern right where you want them.
It is the real deal. Dickinson uses a true bone charcoal case hardening process on the moly-chrome steel receiver, the same traditional method found on high-grade doubles. That means every receiver has its own unique mix of blue, brown, and straw coloring, so no two guns look identical.
Dickinson shotguns are manufactured in Turkey, a country with a deep bench of skilled double-gun makers, and imported by Dickinson Arms in the US. The Plantation series combines CNC-machined internals with hand-finished walnut and engraving. Turkish walnut in particular is prized in the gun trade, and the Grade 2.5 wood on these guns shows it.
It is a great fit for that role. The .410 bore produces very light recoil, and the simple break-open action is easy to learn and easy to verify safe. The 28 inch barrels keep the swing smooth without making the gun feel heavy, so it works well for teaching clays or upland hunting fundamentals.
