I got a smoothbore!

I found this little beauty at our rondezvous last week.

28 gauge, now I gotta get "stuff".

I did win some .54 balls for being top flinter. That's not really bragging, there were only 12 flint shooters out of 100.

Good for you! And it looks like it's a Northstar West early English gun, too. I hope you enjoy it. Shooting smoothbores is fun.

I'm just getting my Brown Bess put together, so I think we're both going to enjoy the versatility
A bit of shot, or a really really big ball???

That's a very nice looking piece by the way!

You'll like that 28 gauge. I had a double 28 from DGW back in the 70's. Boy I wish I hadn't sold it and all my other bp guns.

A fine lookin' one it is too. Just the thing for dove in the Santa Clara River bottom, and quail in the barrancas. :winking:
Just don't shoot any oranges, we need them what with the frost in Florida. :nono:

The orange groves are disappearing as fast as houses can be built. It's avocados or row crops if a farmer wants to make any money.
