WANTED Short barreled Brown Bess or.....

[Rocklocks Only]

I am looking for what is being called a ‘carbine’ length Brown Bess. I am really interested in a large bore flintlock, with a barrel length in the 28” range. I am less concerned with what regiment carried them under what banner in what skirmish and if they are historically accurate. I have that figured out. Fowler, Trade gun, short Tulle or what have you. I will consider anything from 20guage and up but preference is given to a 10 guage. Flintlock only please. Thanks.

I am really looking for something about a half foot shorter but yours may work. I want a shooter. What can you tell me about shooting it? Has it been shot much? Is the touch hole direct drilled or isnthere a vent? Thanks.

I've put about 20 rounds of .760 ball through it with 80 gr 2F; haven't tried it with shot. Direct drilled 5/32" vent and shoots minute of milk jug at 30yds with bare ball. I have some .750 steel balls that I haven't tried yet.
