Sounds like the one I have is the "Perfection Top Lever". Jim, I saw your PM response to mine and have answered it...Geo

I am glad that Flint has joined this new thread on Shattuck guns. He and I are corresponding by PM. It would be nice to see pictures of some of the Shattock doubleguns Flint has in his collection. If he has pictures I'm sure some of us here can help him get them posted to the thread...Geo

Hello, I am new to this forum. I know this is a very old thread but thought this was the best place to post this information.
I own a very unusual Shattuck's Perfection shotgun. I inherited it from my father who got it from his father. The gun has a smooth bore, like a shotgun, but is much smaller gauge that any shotgun I've seen. In fact a 38 caliber round or a 357 magnum round fits perfectly in the chamber. It holds one round and the action is falling-block. The gun is small, about 33" overall with a removable barrel that is about 18". I'd love to get more information about the gun if anyone has any.
Not sure how to do it exactly, but I'm more than willing to post photos.
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Is it rim fire of center fire? In the 1896 UMC catalog they offer .38 Short & Long Colt shot cartridges, .38 Smith & Wesson shot cartridges and .38 Short & Long rim-fire shot cartridges.

Because it is a falling block, it is hard to say for sure, but I'd guess with a fairly high degree of confidence that it is a center fire.
