I picked this one up at auction this week. It needs some work but it should clean up very nice I think. The original mould is in the case, it will require a barrel wedge and new ramrod made, the stalking safety looks like it could use some refinement, my engraver will checker the hammer spur and restore the engraving on the hammer. The rifle is 18 bore and shoots a winged bullet, I am guessing it is somewhere between a 3 and 4 dram rifle. Should be a fun one.

That is incredibly cool!. What twist is the barrel?

Without that mold, i would have thought it was a belted roundball gun.

I had an 18 bore Lang double rifle from the early '30s once. But it had more or less standard rifling. Nothing like this.
