I certainly don't think it was built as a nitro gun. It may have received later nitro proof, but that doesn't change its character from BPE to nitro.

It would be interesting to see a close-up of the barrel flats and to see the inside of its bores. I bet the rifling has a slow BP twist rate.

I wish Turnbull would keep his hands off nice antiques.
