Actually Friday but I've been busyhttps://photos.app.goo.gl/Uc6rSb8gJhGRDjLb8 You might remember the gun auction I watched a couple weeks ago. This is one of two things I bought, the other is modern and needs to come through the FFL process.It was sold as a "Fusil de Chasse or "Gun of the hunt" which I'm pretty sure it isn't. The French guns had a severe drop to the heel of the stock that this doesn't have, they also only had one barrel ring, this has two.https://photos.app.goo.gl/4Phaxgt4P49csf468 The "Lott" lock doesn't have a great reputation but this one sparks nice:https://photos.app.goo.gl/hemQyqZy5G8rgcsz7 I *think* its actually an English Trade gun kit from Track of the Wolf. I paid about $200 less than the kit would be and this one is already assembled so I feel pretty good about it. I'm debating putting some finish on the barrel and if I should polish the machining marks off of it. Its .62 caliber/20ga so I ordered some .600 round balls and 20ga wads to shoot out of it. The balls are undersized to accommodate cloth patching which will make them tight to the bore and easier to load. I'd like to take this hunting some during deer season. With no rear sight or rifling I'll want to be real close but after last fall's deer (30 feet) I don't see that as a real problem... -Curt _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com
