Mossyrock, welcome to the BBS. I think you'll find over time it is a vast reservoir of information for these old doubles. Looks to me as though you've bought a great 10 bore double that is screaming to be shot. The dent will need to be knocked out by a competent smith. Evidently you're in the Northwest so I'd suggest you contact Keith Kearcher in Bend, Oregon for the barrel work. He is competent and has a fairly fast turnaround. I'm sure you'll find other 10 gauge fanatics in the area but Terry Lubinski, a frequent poster on this site, lives in Vancouver and probably knows more about these guns than anyone I am familiar with. Betcha he chimes in before long. Good luck! Oh, you'll find that reloading for the gun is simple and there are a number of low pressure receipes around. When you come to that stage, send me an e-mail and I'll give you some of my favorite load data.
