    .24 cal.

    After the leaky breech concern I put a borelight down'er and no light escapes other than the nipple hole (thanks Paul, good way to check.) There are no other markings anywhere on the gun. Also just spoke to the person she got it from and the original owner had passed but used it to break gun-shy...

    .24 cal.

    .24 cal.

    The Mrs just gifted me a little caplock blunderbuss. :thumbsup: Nothing real fancy but not junk. The markings on the bbl. are MENDI 24cal. spain. I'm not versed in smoothbores, so is there a .24 RB or is this just for shooting pellets? Also, what would a safe starting powder charge be?

    Thanks for all the replies. There are no marks on the drum so that's a plus. Waiting on some .310 balls to see what it can do.

    CVA Squirrel

    It has the .32 barrel.Seeing the wrench marks just peaked my curiosity and with it out I could get a really good look at the bore. It only set me back 80 bucks so I'm hoping it was a good deal. Patches were nice and consistent down the lenghth of the barrel and came back clean. Aside from the...

    CVA Squirrel

    Hello everyone. I've been lurking around here for the past month or so and am impressed with the amount of knowledge openly shared here. You've got a great bunch of guys and I've had a few really good laughs. Anyway, I just aquired a CVA Squirrel rifle and wanted to know if the breech plug is...
