What's straight rifleing for anyway?
17/10/07 02:06 PM

I just came across a German gun from about 1880-1900. Hammer double barrel. The right barrel is about 45 cal. I thought the left barrel was 16ga. I was right but is has straight rifleing the entire length. I couldn't count them but quite a few lands/grooves. Anyone know what this if for? Is it for shot or for some sort of single projectile? I'd like to buy it but I also want to shoot it. The right barrel has several rounds with it so it will be a case of making up some but the left barrel has me stumped.
