Early Pedersoli.

[Underdog 2,337]

At last an early 1970's Pedersoli double turned up. An era when they were nice and light .

The gun fits perfectly and POI is spot on.

Just got to repair or replace the rammer, it broke due to short grain!

If you take a hacksaw to it at the breach end and attach a hinge on the bottom you could make a basic breach loader out of it and be able to shoot loads of cartridges through it. That would kind of bring it up to the late 1800s

Ha,ha,ha,. A mate of mine has a double barrel go shotgun of a good make and he can knock stuff down ok with it. He also has a Brown Bess percussion musket in .729 by Blanch good fun. But look forward cartridge breach loaders with smokeless powder are the way forward. You can see where the pheasant fell and there isn't the skink of bad eggs which goes through you.

"Cartridge breach loaders"

Wash your mouth out!

Shot that much with breach loaders and still do but I get more from the challenge now and I like the smell, smell's no worse than me!

You've not been eating that garlic breakfast have you? There's nothing for it. Shooting a stinky black powder muzzleloader and eating garlic breakfasts >>> You'll have to be rounded up in a field and bombed!!!

Here what about putting a few pictures of These beasts on my thread of >>> show your guns in this section, Rimfire, centerfire and shotguns. I'm sure that the house would love to see them.

"garlic"

Where is your friend getting his powder from, France?

Mine smells like a good ole' morning phart after two fried eggs down the greasy spoon, proper English fare 

[Meece 1,957]

No idea. He probably has a ten year supply of powder. He doesn't shoot much through it.  His powder doesn't stink of garlic but someone to on here was eating it on his full English breakfast. That's just wrong.
