Title: Twice the fun

I figured if one barrel is good two would be better. It is a 58 gal buck and ball gun.
I added a rear site.

At this time I think 70 gr 2 f and 20 thousand patch. that may change if I
can spend more time at the range. Right now I can't get to the main part of
the range because of weather. Shooting a long gun on a pistol range dose not tell me much.

thought so ! I have a brown bess from them , shoots pretty good , only odd thing about them is the wood ! it`s not walnut and is a bit heavier ,but that helps with recoil !

did some research , the wood is`nt teak as many think , it`s mango ! I`ve worked with teak and was`nt sure , so I contacted the maker ,rather than an american dealer !
