Edelweiss - You are on a slippery slope which may well cause you financial problems

I am very similarly afflicted, nothing but a 4 bore will do, the others are merely a step on the way

As a cartridge rifle is well beyond my reach I have several single 4/6 bores in percussion, which are (slightly!) more affordable, especially shotguns

I am also well into DB pistols, so called "Howdah" pistols [you are aware of my post about the BS put about by dealers etc. of these most interesting pistols]

Should you wish for my advice [given in the best intentions] is to wait for a fair example of either and snap it up!

I wish you the best of luck on your endeavours, you are obviously an enthusiast for the epitome of the gunmakers art!
