Skeettx, you are correct, they have 12 ga. kits, too. They were not interested in coming up with a 10 ga. kit, though.
By the way, one can find quite a few paper pinfire cases if one looks hard, but it appears to me that a shot or two and they are used up, being 140 or so years old.

Daryl,
Fantastic piece. I was looking at one like that on the auctions a year or so ago but was conned about the 10 gauge pin fire ammo. Glad you figured it out. It looks like a great load of fun in the field.

kcordell, it is fun. The 10 bore weighs 7#5oz. so it's easy to carry.

Daryl,
What a wonderful thing you have done!!! You have resurrected this old gun and it has a new lease on life. A 10 gauge at that. You just may become a trend setter. We may all have a "Hallquist" in our future.

Pete, thanks. In my experience, Joe Wood's advice to "clean up" with Windex made the shooting of this gun so much easier. I recommend it for black powder after the day is done.

Daryl: The Beast engraved between the hammers appears 'ferocious'. Interesting! Is it a Gargoyle? Pretty neat old gun. Pheasants fold up under her?
Socialism is almost the worst.

As I recall, Jim Carmichael constantly used a 10ga for sporting clays and the like. He attributed his success to the gauge.
I am sure it will bring down anything you point it at.
