does any-one have more info on this gun?:confused:
black powder most probably [bore? use?]
is this an old 'fowl' gun they used to mount on a small canoe in the old days?:wow:

Probably a 2 GA size (diameter of a half pound lead ball if memory serves me correctly). Punt guns ( a punt being a small boat:-) were used to hunt waterfowl commercially a century ago. That is today's lesson. It must be beer 30 somewhere in the world now!

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
