Wanting to get a smoothbore flintlock

This is becoming an awful lot like an advertisement....

I really like that lefty on bottom right, might have to start saving my pennies!!!

In case you prefer a NW trade gun , here is a South Paw version of it too

My smooth bores are at both ends of the gauge spectrum. I have 2 Brown Bess and a .54 smooth gun.
What gun I take out depends more on where and how I'm going to hunt than what I'm hunting provided I'm not going to be wing shooting. Wing shooting requirements push me to the larger gauge gun.
If it's going to be a walking hunt all day long, it's hard to beat that light weight .54
In all of them coarse shot (5 & 6) is the choice I like. Seems to hold pattern a little better and full penetration is a good thing.
I don't enjoy chewing shot with my meat.
If I only had one smooth gun, I believe.62 - 65 would be what I would go with.
Just my opinion.

Have two .62 smooth rifles. A Wilson’s Chief trade gun cut to 26” and an English Fowler smooth rifle. Both are stupid accurate at 50 yards.

Have a Bess carbine I am working on now. It’s more challenging

Whats barrels do they sport bud ?

Seems like there are a lot more accessories for 20 gauge .
