This is my 20 bore, smoothbore flinter. I've not hunted with it yet, but have competed with it in both clay bird shooting with shot and with patched round balls on a rifle course of fire. Hi was made by a fellow identified as A. Hunkeler but that is all the information I have. It has an improved cylinder choke, with does not effect accuacy with the round balls, but sure makes nice patterns with shot.

This Picture has been on here a nubmer of times, and is my 14 bore English-syle Sporting Rifle. It has polaxed a couple moose for me during the late season special weapons hunt up North of here, when it was between -30 and -56 Celcius measurement.

This is an original H. Whall ball and shot gun of 11 bore. I used this piece for a round ball event at a 10 day rendezvous South of here in BC and placed 2nd with it, hitting 17 targets out of 22. It is suitable for most what Africa has to offer, within it's accuracy range with the 525gr. hardened round ball I used (.715").

This is a picture of Taylor, my brother, like Steve, an ackomplished rifle maker. The rifle he's holding, is a tribute to Jacob Kuntz - then of LehighValley, Pennsylvania. It is a compilation of 2 similar Kuntz rifles in the Museum of Natural Art in New York City. It won a couple ribbons at Dixon's Gun Maker's fair, where this picture was taken.
It is a smallish 73 Bore Rifle ie: 73 balls to the pound bore size which is .40 cal. It shoots a ball that is 75 bore in size which is .395". Notice how fine and slim this rifle is in comparrison to heavy game rifles and smoothbores.
