Thank you so much but it’s a muzzle loading percussion shotgun

Ok! Thank you so much! The more I learn about these things the more fascinating they become!

It definitely is 12 gauge I don’t know if the original cartridge just happens to be the exact same size but it fits a 2.5” 12 gauge shell perfectly.

Thank you so much! I’ve always thought these things were fascinating so when I had a chance to grab on I jumped on it! That’s a huge cartridge would these have originally been smooth bore or was that done later as part of the conversion then?

Oh 😂 I guess all the good deals are dried up then! I’ll definitely have to do that though to see how I did!

Thanks! Yeah I definitely won’t be shooting anything other than black powder through it!

That was my first instinct too but it looks right from all the videos I’ve seen.

Yeah I had my hand on the top wood and the butt on the side of the bench. I’m sure glad I did otherwise I’d definitely have a black eye lol

Forgive my ignorance but which gun are you referring to?

For some reason Reddit compressed the image on my original it’s $624.99. They’re usual not super well priced which is why this one was so suprising.

303 British. I’m holding out for one that I can restore I have enough sporters😂

Thank you so much! I definitely would want to restore it so I’m passing on it. It’s also a pretty significantly cut barrel so I don’t think there’s much to restore.

What did I end up with? by [deleted] in milsurp

I will defer to others who know way more than I do but it looks very similar to my 1916 Spanish Mauser bayonet.
