    I have an old firearm

    I was able to take it to the antique roadshow in Baton Rouge several years ago.

    I have an old firearm

    that could possibly be what it is, The sisters who gave it to me said that their Uncle, Stephen Thomas Stutler, was considered a "wealthy" farmer. I will check out the Bown ? that you talk about. Thanks! drew

    I have an old firearm

    I haven't run a patch down it but I have shone a bright light down it to look at the rifling. It is seven sided with a groove full length down the inside of each side. I am in the process of trying to find a gunsmith around here who may know something about it,but, as we live out in the middle...
