Re: This is my muzzle loader

I have been looking for a usable muzzleloading shotgun for a while now after someone dented the barrels on an old Harkom I had. I picked this up at auction a few months ago, sight unseen and it has been here in the UK. I arrived here for a month on holiday 3 weeks ago and took the kids down to Devon for a few days camping. We set up a trap and I thought I would see how the old girl did. Slightly apprehensive since I have no idea when this was last fired but the chaps at the auction house assured me it was a "shooter". It is not a named gun (but 99% certain it was made by Charles Boswell, CB on barrels, Birmingham proof. I liked the fact that is utterly unmessed about with. Anyway, stoked it up with 2 3/4 drams of powder, 1 oz of no.6's, called pull and broke the clay !! Hooray. Didn't get to shoot it again as the kids monopolised it until I ran out of powder. What a hoot it is though. I'll be trying it on pheasants in December.

sorry for quality of pics
