Re: Oh those ubiquitous H&H 8bores!

Right-on- kinda-sort-of a flint shooter needs a constant lead on his target. Swinging past and pulling as done with cap-locks and modern guns will result in shots behind and in front as well as hits. Variable ignition times are the cause, so a constant lead is necessary for good hitting.
Ignition is very good with this gun's tuned locks, however they are still some 3 times slower than a caplock's ignition. (3 times slower, not a 1/3rd) Do not believe anyone who tells you their flint is as fast as a cap-gun - ain't so! and that's a fact.

This shotgun was made by my bro for a very good and dear friend who passed 2 years ago. We celebrate his life every year at Rondy by blowing some of his ashes from his cannon as a 9 o'clock salute, Wed. evening. His wish! Too- we all toast him with several to many "Rusty Nails" - his favourite at Rondy.
