    Help ID this gun, please

    Whatever it is, it looks nice. Muzzle looks like it was made for a slip over false muzzle, but well crowned. Check the rifling twist to see if it's for long slugs rather than round balls. English or Euro style. Bet it shoots nice too. Sure in great condition. You lucked out for sure.

    There are no holes in the muzzle for a false muzzle to attach, and the muzzle has a distinct crown. I'll see how it shoots with the round balls I have and try a thinner patch. Someone said try paper patches on slugs. Never done that. I've seen two strips of paper cut to fold up and fit the...

    lefty guns? necessary?

    Newbie here. Looks good on the outside, but could have been put together better. Just read it's probably a Replica Arms/Dixie import and has a fast twist so not good with roundballs. Barrel stamped Italy and .45 cal, which could mean .440 to .451. Anyone know? Needs new sights, but I can do...
