Before I get shot down, the caption on youtube is manton percussion double rifle, after posting it here I started to think that it actually could be percussion shotgun or not? (I don't have any knowledge on percussion firearms) How can you tell on a miniature firearm? I can't see any rifling.

Whatever it is, it certainly isn't percussion: it's a flintlock.

Shotgun bead - no rear sight - too bad it has curly maple for the stock - Mantons all had English Walnut. Nicley done, though, but the maker over-sanded the comb - pretty dishy. It's a smoothbore, not a rifle and most definitely a flintlock. The tubes are quite heavy at the muzzle.
; Was out testing my Bro's 14 bore Manton percussion gun last summer - no chokes, yet running mid 70% patterns at 26 yards. We were happy.

Wow it looks like a 1404 bore double! Almost big enough for a rabid mouse.
