A 2 bore?? - I make the 4 bore and 2 bore as being TOO much fun, something I don't really need.
; Many guns for ball in the Indian theatre, according to Forsyth, had no rear sight, only the front bead. Sighting was taking down the rib, with the larger breechs giving the necessary elevation. He even stated that some smoothbores had breeches too high, giving too much elevation. This, of course, could be compensated by with a higher bead. A 44" barrel? I thought my flinter longrifle was long at 42". the gun must be gigantic in the hands.
