We have an abundance of tiny desert cottontails in this section. They recovered nicely from an epidemic of hemorrhagic fever a few years back. Wonder how they taste, living out there in the desert among the creosote bush, cholla, yucca and ocotillo.
 
This is a "big mouth" blunderbuss!
From about 1720.

Yes, Italian. Nice "street sweeper" with folding stock and sash hook. Fits nice under a coat!
Do not wish to hijack this thread. There is a video from RIA on this site about "Wolf killer" blunderbus.

Have you tried 00 buckshot yet?
I bet that yours is a "blast" to shoot!
One of these days I would like to get the barrel checked and be able to shoot this one. I do not want to destroy something this beautiful and old. Maybe after some other projects I will try and copy this one including the folding stock and oval barrel.
