    Im thinking this was a sporterized p53 enfield. The barrel has broad arrows pointing toward each other. That means it was sold off as surplus. Being .670 maybe it was bored smooth?

    Charleville

    I was 11b b4 and my first one was when I was 19. The first sergeant did not push it in . He beat it in with his fist and bent over the prongs when they stuck out my back

    The 1795 Springfield holds a special place in my heart. And I have two tiny little scars in my chest made by one. It is the musket depicted on the combat infantry badge.

    Charleville

    So tell me the visual differences between the 66 and the 77. I don't want anything I cant place in use during the revolution. The dished out stock was that only done on the 77.

    Charleville

    Well next week im going to look at a charleville. As of yet im not sure if it is a Pedersoli or Miruko. I do know it is 69 caliber. This is one gun or caliber ive never owned. So what are you guys experiences with them. And what loads should I try. Thanks Rick

    shotgun questions

    Hope you enjoy it. Under the barrel it has a recommended max load. I belive 89 grs 2ff with equal amount of shot. That should bring down any pheasant with number 6 shot.
