My new Caywood Gunmaker's English Game Gun

[piper987]

Always wanted a fancy custom ML. Ordered it last year, took anout 8 months to get it. Danny Caywood out of Arkansas built it. 20G and .58 barrels. Very light and well balanced. Bought it for walk and stalk hog hunting.

That’s a beauty!

Thanks! the picture quality came out horrible though. I think I was tryying to get close up shots with my phone and it did not work well.

Way too pretty for shooting hogs!

Ha! I recently started hunting some public land for ducks and realized I also found a good hog area. It is a WMA so it is shotgun only. The first year I bought a used .56 Renegade smoothbore and restored it to a pretty nice gun. Shot two hogs with it and really got the itch for a nicer SB. This is what i ended up getting for the hog hunts. Did not get it in time for last year's season. The new season starts on Jan 2. so I will be out with it in 2 weeks!

You have a gorgeous gun and a very fine hawk. Yes, I'm jealous and I imagine a few others here are as well.

Lovely gun. Is the touch hole liner very dark, or is it a very large vent into the barrel?

 

[deertraks]

That is a really a nice smooth bore!

Danny does not believe in touch hole liners. If a buyer of one of his guns installs one it voids all his warranties. I do not agree with his position on this and have seen him and his dad put on quite a routine about this issue.

They are scared to death they are going to get sued. Same reason for the giant 7 /16" ramrod.

I sure would not mind the larger ramrod, particularly on a 20 gauge. But I too am curious about the touch hole. Is it really as large as it appears?

Not a liner, it is a flared or coned vent hole. Seems to work well, ignition is fast.

100% true, but the flared vent hole seems to work well. Ignition is fast for sure.
