Treblig, it looks like you have a fine "Kaintuck" and a nice trophy. Congratulations!

One thing that worries me is that traditional ml shotgunning seems to be "falling off", a bit, on "this side of the Pond". While sidehammer guns are still being sold I see fewer and fewer indications that such guns are either being taken seriously or used extensively. In addition, gunsmiths who repair and/or upgrade ml shotguns are becoming harder and harder to find. For example, I now know of no one who "jug chokes" muzzle loading shotguns in the traditional way, anymore.
