Thankyou Daryl

So,it seems that these 'rifles' that use shot also must be simply for sale as mere shotguns,as you say,well this is interesting......need simply to look out for a rear sight as the tell tale sign?

Seeing as that gun you mentioned has 36-38" barrels, the only difference of it to any normal shotgun/fowler,was the rear sight!!!?? correct?

Selous's gun was a muzzle loader then? interesting.....horrid for a second shot surely? or if a double,horrid for the 3rd and 4th?

Actually,i must say when one goes from 10 gauge and up the guns seem to be huge,and immensely strong,actions included. and i dont see much of any difference in weight or bulk between the shotguns and the designated rifles.

Oddly,a chap i have come to know a little has a 2 bore for sale.......a chance to re-enact Baker? sounds a little painful to me......besides,thing is just huge......a shoulder fired punt i think.

Some very interesting stuff there Daryl.......

I reckon the 12 gauges are different from their rifle equivelents, but the bigger gagues seem to be the same,weight and all.
