I’m looking to buy a 20 or 12 gauge side by side percussion shotgun. I live in MA and muzzleloaders can be shipped to my door. I’ve done it many times. Only modern firearms require a FFL. Please post pics with any offers.

Thanks

I have an original W. Richards in 12 GA with 36" fine twist barrels proofed in Belgium. Locks will pull through at 1/2 cock. Have not pulled locks to see why. Walnut stock in very good condition without any cracks, chips or repairs. Asking $600 plus shipping. Can forward pics to your email.

I’m interested, if you could please send pics? What would be required to fix the problems with the locks?
 
Am having trouble posting pics but could send to your email. I haven't pulled the locks but will and see what it might be.

Evan,
I took the locks out of the w. Richard shotgun. I found the 1/2 cock notch on both locks to be a little worn on the leading edge, a little rounded, but still functional. When out of the gun you can't push the hammers off 1/2 cock but when in the gun the triggers do release the hammers from 1/2 cock. Both hammers come back to the same point when on 1/2 or full cock and seem to require the same pull to release. I'm thinking a gunsmith, not me, could adjust this with minimal work. I think re cutting the 1/2 cock notch will solve it.

Evan,
Any interest?
 
Evan, I still have a new, never fired 20 ga Pedersoli that the buyer renigged on recently. It has a recoil pad installed. If you want pictures I can send them.

I have a CVA 12 gauge, I filed off all the cheesy engraving and returned the metal to the white. Was planning on browning it but liked it in the white so much I changed my mind.
It does have a small ding in the stock on the bottom other than that it's fine.
