I,ve seen them before, what through me off was the double supperior proof on the rifled side . I assumed it was for heavier loads and it throws a lyman sabot in a 3 in group at 75 yards but 4 in right of centre. Maybe I didnt buy what I thought I was getting, I questioned the beed sights but its french not english, info. on french guns ravished by war is so hard to find I may never know. thanks for the feed back I,ll still use it as a combo even if that was not its purpose, because that was what I bought it for.
