Not a fan of Indian guns (hard to get proofed in EU), but for 350 I would pick this one up any day. If not for live shooting, then just for reenactment. As for the dirty inner side of the lock, I have never had to clean the inner side of a Pedersoli lock. Good find.

Having Bobby Hoyt reline it would solve the controversy over poor India made barrels being unsafe.

Most smooth bores don't have a rear sight, so good find. I run into a big ML guy at the range on occasion. He is a firm believer in load experimentation. Particularly with a nitro card over the powder, then a lubed fiber wad, then patched ball.
I always use a wad over the powder and a half of one over the ball. Seals the bore and gives acceptable accuracy with 70gr of Goex ffg on targets out to 50 yards, which when I hunted, always took the game I was after.
