    If you are wanting a great reference book on historical gunleather, get a copy of Packing Iron by Richard Rattenbury. It covers the entire 19th century as well as the 20th century in gunleather.

    I've never had one of their complete guns but I have used one of their barrels to build a smoothbore. It was the best shooting smoothie I ever had. You could hit a squirrel at forty yards with round ball and only a bead sight.
