WOW !!! Thanks alot Researcher for the indepth history on this one. That`s pretty interesting. I wonder if this gun could handle modern ammo, maybe bird shot or do ya think we should keep pressures low. The interior barrels are new looking with no signs of pitting or rust. The outside has most of the bluing gone but seems to be pretty sound overall.
