I have one of these purchased from Dixie Gun Works back so long ago I dont know the year. 1970 give or take a few.

I believe the 22.8 is the bore diameter in mm. That would be ~6.5 bore. I think Dixie called it 6 bore. I see the catalog called in the two posts back calls it a 4. Well, even today that seems par for the course. Everything is a 4 bore. Dixie told it right and you needed to order the right bullet mold from them with the gun. The metal butt plate was a killer and stupid. Made from spare parts. I can believable that. I dont think the lock was real old either. Very poor workmanship and being young I messed up the gun more. I adding some crude sights. Cut the forearm back and converted to percussion. I always though this might make a nice gun if some one with the skills restocked it and clean up the metal work. The stock and butt plate are the worst. I just cut the hammer and added a nipple. I forget the load, but it sure could kick. Put me right back on my ass a couple times.

Small world, --- So what do we do with these now?
