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.

[beowulf]

very nice ! 

[Watauga]

Yep Way nice!
What kind of loads have you tried in her?

[pathfinder]

.58 GAL? Thats what I call a BIG BORE!

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.

I like!  Where did this nice gun come from?

[old salt]

hanshi
I purchaced it form Middlesex Village Trading Company

[beowulf]

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 !

Beowulf

It is teak, it is heaver but also tougher than walnut

[beowulf]

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 !

[Hanshi]

WOW!  Good to know this information even though it took 11 years.  Thanks for your persistence, beowulf. 

[beowulf]

hard job ,but someone has to do it
