Tell me Squire, does your house have only a 4 foot stud or it that one VERY long shootin' iron?

 

[robinghewitt]

Hi Jeff

That's 6 foot of tapered octagon to round 16 gauge tubing on a half stock making 88 1/4" over all. Flint converted perk, lock marked T BRADBURY

best regards

Squire Robin ::

To say I am jealous would be an understatement. That thing is awesome....

 

[No Powder]

How does that thing work? Do you stick the barrel up and when the geese start gain altitude to get over the barrel you pull the trigger. :crackup:
Nice looking weapon.

 

[Stumpkiller]

Wow! A three-scroll barrel with my roller-mouse!

If you miss 'em, you can at least trip 'em with that artillery! 'Course, you goose blind will need to be six feet below the water table, and that could get damp. :crackup:

 

[robinghewitt]

I wonder how it shoots? What kind of load would it take?

I think the biggest I have is #6's :thumbsup:

I wouldn't want to take that hunting. Carrying a step ladder to laod it would really be a nuisance. :youcrazy::haha: Darn, barrle is taller than I am.

 

[KyFlintlock]

You are gonna need to put a flashing light on the end of the barrel so the aircraft won't hit it :winking:

That is awesome! I am "hoping" to do some goose hunting on Saturday myself, but don't have anything like THAT!

Congrats.

I'm thinking it is a prime candidate for putting back to flint :hmm:

 

[Deerstalker]

If you miss, you just knock them in the head with it?

[Pork Chop]

8 point,

You just unknowingly solved an international incident. Sputnik did not just fall out of orbit back in the 60's, Squire was target practicing!!! :redthumb:

 

[Colonial Boy]

That is an awesome gun, in the full meaning of the word!!

I'll vote for restoration to flint, some percussion conversions are a work of art in themselves, but as yours is a simple conversion you wont be destroying any history. Is that a plug where the touch-hole was?

squire take that with ya when ya go visiting the neighbor lady. and if it don't scare the manure out of her hubby when he get home, then pole vault over the hedge with it and get the h@ll out of there. :haha:

[bshultz]

How many people does it take to hold up the barrel when you shoot it? Great looking gun!!! :thumbsup: :redthumb:

 

[robinghewitt]

I shall shoot it for the first time this Sunday, expect pictures :thumbsup:
