    smoothbore ID

    The best I can tell it does look somewhat like the picture. I forgot to mention it does have a iron ramrod. It`s a good shooter with both shot and RB.

    smoothbore ID

    Thanks for the replys. I`m sorry that I`m unable to post pictures. I thought someone might have seen the markings described above and could give me some idea who made this gun. I am sure it is a reproduction but it does have some age on it. Again, thanks for the replys.

    gauge of 50 caliber

    .62 load for O buck

    Paul, I was thinking about a mold for round ball. I just wondered what is the most used for a .62 cal. I will probably use it as a patched round ball. I have a .50 cal smooth bore and use it with PRB. and the usual # 5 and #6 shot. I use a .490 in the .50. I live in the Valley of the...

    .62 load for O buck

    Many thanks for the replys. I guess I just wondered if anyone had tried it. I think I`ll just stick to conventional sizes. I think I`ll try to find me a mold. What size would be right for the .62? I`ll probably use it with a patch.
