Something completely different...!

[BCarp]

Dog-lock blunderbuss, India-made, refinished and "de-farbed", and a swivel mount added. Will be mounted on the front of my boat for use at reenactment events with a water-borne element. (I expect the usual comments about flintlocks from the Asian subcontinent, but this thing sparks like crazy and goes off every time...without exploding, ha-ha!)

I like it!

Cool gun. VERY nice boat, from what can be seen.

 

[appalichian hunter]

nice set up, clear the decks boys were coming aboard.

 

[necchi]

Now THAT'S cool!!
Well done,,!

 

[Celticstoneman]

How far astern does that boat travel when you touch that gun off ?

 

[oldhunter1954]

Wow! I need a boat like that.

 

[Winchester97]

Need that on my Bass Tracker. Maybe I could get some respect from those darn jet-ski's finally.

 

[Carbon 6]

Nice, just don't let a Warden catch you on the water with it.

 

[sheriff john]

Punt gun season's only a few weeks away! Very cool. Enjoy.

That's a really cool idea !!! Nice job on the gun too. A "forged" lock made/re-done correctly will really spark well.

Love it from what I've seen those India smoothbores are fine shooters.

Now that would raise a growing victim!!!

NICE! So did you purchase the lock separately or did it come on the stock/furniture and you refinished or de-farbed all of it?

(Quint should’ve had that setup on his boat ‘Orca’. May that would’ve worked better than barrels in catching sharks? Sorry…couldn’t help it)

It looks bigger in the pic than it really is. Only .69 caliber....
