Sir, I found this same gun in a 50 caliber double and also with one smooth bore shotgun barrel and other barrel a 50 caliber. I had thought about the double 50 or one with one barrel of each shotgun and 50. My question is how well does yours shoot round ball and do the barrels print anywhere close to each other? The shotgun barrels would probably do what I want if they print round ball together or reasonably close.

I wld love to tell you how it prints, but the "shotgun" spot at English Gravel pit range is next to the benches, not even covered, no target frames... just a blaze orange "X" at about 50 yrds.
Needless to say I was annoyed. As a result, all I fired was patched .595s.
As to the options in the weapon it's self, there are actually 5 options aside from kits; 20 ga dbl, .50 cal dbl, .58 cal dble and 20 ga w .50 and 20 ga w .58.
From what I have read, the rifled barrel options (.50 and .58) tend to hit kinda "wall eyed" low n left on the L barrel, and high n right on the "R".
I lucked out by getting the 20 ga dbl.
If you want a heavy bore pistol that is rifled and more likely to be relatively accurate, there are more options than most of us can count. Some.. OK, ALLOT of them are considerably cheaper than the $750 the Howdahs are demanding now.
on a side note, I got home and cleaned em out, I tend to favor the pot o boiling water and a jag/cleaning patch plunger method. When I went to put it back to gether... I can't get the ram rod back in now... ? Help?

I did. But now have another issue; I cant get the ram rod back in now after having re assembled it. Not a huge deal, but annoying.
Sir, can't help with ramrod problem, but thanks for info on different versions it can be found in. Was having a hard time trying to figure out what I wanted now with more to choose from looks like saving money and trying to figure out the two I want is next option.
