The Tale of A 200 Year Old Shotgun

[Comfortably_Numb]

My buds and I used to shoot damascus barreled breech loaders at one of the local skeet ranges. We had been doing this for months and finally one of the brighter shooters discovered we were all shooting damascus barreled guns. They all freaked out and wouldn't shoot with us anymore. They opened another skeet range and made us shoot by ourselves; we thought it was great! That very same night two of the outraged shooters blew up their fancy modern shotguns....oh the irony...

Thank you. I absolutley know it was redone. The previous owner said "it was probably restored in the 20's", but I have no idea how he would know that. Regardless, it's very well done and looks great.

It is a 10 bore. I am going to try some light shot loads out of it, and would also like to see how it throws a PRB. If it shoots, my primary objective is going to be to kill a squirrel with it, as is the goal with all of my shotguns and .22's, regardless of age

what a fine gun. the lines are gorgeous have a great time shooting it. my grandfather willed a Damascus barred 12 gauge, I got to fire it a couple of times it was a pleasure.
