In my reference above to Wilds of Africa, I described the "precipice" showing an illustration of Cumming loading a flintlock. I should have used the correct term "frontispiece" - so much for the English grammar lesson. Now on to the subject at hand. In that same volume, Cumming talks about using a Westley Richards double rifle. He also talks about using "caps," so obviously said rifle was a percussion rifle, not a flinter, even though his five years hunting in Africa were from 1843-48. Frankly, in my being around guns for the last 60 years or so, double barrel muzzleloaders are pretty damn rare. Granted, Pedersoli is currently producing a model. There is also an antique Thomas Kennedy 14 guage for sale at present on Guns International for the princely sum of $4500. I wonder if any current muzzle loading gunsmiths are or could produce such a rifle?
