I have to make a decision on these two guns this week..I will only buy one.

One is a blackpowder 1880 German boxlock w/ sideplates and 2 barrels..10.5x47rx16 and a second set of 16ga barrels...

The other is a 16x8.57jr...Boxlock..No sideplates...1 set of barrels but 50 years newer.

They are the same price....The newer one appeals to me as it would be more usable, but a two barrel set with sideplates sure is nice

Help!
