Title: Got this gun from my father-in-law any guesses on what it is?
Post by: CaptainMike on January 13, 2024, 08:19:16 PM

We divided up guns from my father-in-laws estate and this was one of my picks. It has a smooth bore and measures approx. .595 and the barrel length is approx. 38"
I'm not sure if its even an antique?
Any help would be appreciated.

And chopped Brit barrel.

Looks like a half stocked hunting rifle (double set triggers, etc.) which has had a British shotgun barrel installed.
