That was me lol... a not to stout load in my opinion. I personally own a Veteran Arms Brown Bess Carbine and Pedersoli Brown Bess Musket. Best way I have found to keep em clean is good gun oil, parafin oil and some sort of wax to keep the moisture off. Barricade works well so does GRIP in my opinion. Hoppe's No.9 is good too. As far as thick rust you'll need to arm yourself with some steel wool, wirebrushes and some goo rust removing oil. I would stay away from WD40, PB Blaster and Aerokroil as they leave a film behind which can gunk things up. Best way to do it is to take the whole gun apart. Im talking lock and barrel off stock so that you can clean each one good. Get yourseld a mainspring vise, a .75 cal cleaning kit, some brass pin punches and some good gunsmith turn screws. They'll clean up nicely for sure.As for the Green Mountain question... I couldnt say I suppose they would keep that on record I guess the worst you could do is ask and get told that there is no information. Im sure someone on here can help out with that.Finally, that 10 gauge.... you my friend have a holy grail in my opinion. Mortimer of London are some of and were some of the finest shotguns and fowlers ever produced. I have always wanted one in 10 or 12 but they are too expensive every time. Luckily for you ya got one and someone got it to you because they knew you would care for it. That speaks volumes. As for loads I would start at 80gr FFG and work up 10grs at a time. I would consult [USER=8164]@Britsmoothy[/USER] if I were you, he is British and owns a 10 gauge if my memory serves me right. He also hunts birds same as what you'll be wanting to do. He might be able to set you straight.In the mean time.... I wanna see that Mortimer..... lol.EDIT: I goofed up
