I found it on Rock Island and set a reminder. It is an interesting piece for sure!

I do prefer "working mans gun" for my collection. They have a tendency to "have been there and done that" ... but for the right show piece .. perhaps

May be a bit high ... but for the right gun ... who has it?

I am looking to buy English made bore rifles from 1830's to the 1890's. I prefer Muzzleloaders and am on the hunt for a good 4-Bore single shot heavy muzzleloading rifle to finish out my bore collection. Please PM me if you have one or can help out in any way.

That is Unfortunate. One of my goals in life is to create some sort of video library to capture as much of this knowledge as I can before it is lost. I am thinking I should start a crowd funding site to help pay for local videographers to go visit people and get their stories ... thoughts?

Howdy, I just traded into a 6-Bore single shot smooth bore "gun". I came across an article written in 2014 by Ganyana, African Hunter Magazine and I am not able to find any online presence for the periodical any longer. Their website does not load. I was wondering if anyone knows this person...

I wanted to give an update on this ... I ended up trading this off (by selling this) and purchasing a W.W. Greener 6-Bore Muzzleloading rifle. I will make sure to post some pictures when the new gun comes in.

Howdy from Texas, Before I go listing this on any of the other online selling forums, I wanted to offer this first to actual hunters who could make use of and give this a good home. I am selling/Trading my 1895 Winchester Takedown made in 2005 plus 200 rounds of factory ammo plus an...

I just received my custom-made 8-Bore Chamber Brush and cleaning rod today. GREAT WORK by a guy I found on Etsy that makes "normal" cleaning rods and I had him make me the attached. Hand-turned Ebony handles, custom-made brass fittings, and a chamber brush that is just perfect. PM me if you want...

Thanks Matt. A pleasure to meet with you too and perhaps find a new shooting buddy from time to time. 1917 Brazilian Contract & the 10-Victory are indeed sold. Happy shooting Matt.

1917 Brazilian Contract & the 10-Victory are sold.

Here are some photos of the 8-Bore. I did purchase from William Larkin Moore & Sons. I am going to get the land regardless of what I do or don't sell, so if this or the other items don't sell, I still appeased the wife by "putting them up for sale" ... I am not trying to be "cagey", But I am...
