Thank you for the kind comments. This DWM is shootable but the bore is frosted with some wear as well. It also requires a new foresight blade to be made as the bead is missing from the thin blade. I actually put this on Guntrader for sale the other week but had no interest so will have to see if I cna find a specialist dealer to seel it on a commission basis. reason is that the storage costs are too much to keep paying out. So my small collection is slowly being broken up.

I did shoot some modern ammunition through this but that particular load was a little hot and it was felt on extracting the cases so after a couple of rounds that was it. Oddly enough the carbine and rifle also by DWM that I bought in the deal shot this ammuniton with no problems but they did have better ciondition bores. Those were sold some years back to help replace the car after a nice van driver totalled my car for me.

If only it were easier to ship an antique rifle abroad but they make it as difficult and expensive as they can here in the UK.
