Blaser's Triple Barrel Bockdrilling BD14
Blaser’s new break action combination gun is a triple barrel design that gives shooters a lot of variation with each trigger pull. The BD14 is a drilling gun, which derives its name from the German word for three and not the mechanical act of boring.
The top chamber/barrel is designed for the 20 gauge shotshell. The lower chamber/barrel can be had in any of the following calibers:
- 5.6×52 R (aka .22 Savage High-Power)
- 6.5×55
- 6.5×57 R
- 7×57 R
- 7×65 R
- .308 Win
- .30-06
- .30 R Blaser
- 8×57 IRS
- 9.3×74
The third chamber/barrel can be had in one of these four calibers:
- .22 Hornet
- .222 Rem
- 5.6×50 R Magnum
- 5.6×52 R
It appears the third barrel, mounted on the right side of the gun, is adjustable allowing for regulation with the primary barrels. Trigger weights are listed as 1 lb, 7 oz.

It was always my understanding that these were popular in Europe because of the high cost of private firearms ownership in certain countries and limit to number of guns that one could own. These were a way to get several guns in one firearm. I am not sure these have a mainstream place in the USA, but then again we gun owners are as unique as any group of people and having something that no one else has at the range is always an attractive idea to most gun owners. I like them and would consider a spot in my safe for one depending on what it ended up costing me.
i would have thought there would be more of a vertical pyramid, than one canted tothe side.
