I have a late 1990's Netting Smooth bore that I am parting with. It is #187 of this maker. It is a lovely, light and slender rifle of 20 gauge. It is iron mounted and I believe the barrel is made by the maker with a damascus/mottled look that is just perfect. The Barrel is 42" long, octagonal to round. There is modest carving and wire inlays, along with a thumb inlay. The engraving on the side plate, lock, trigger guard, butt plate and barrel is beautiful.
I picked it up in trade some months back and by the looks of the frizzen face it appears to have been shot very little if at all. I patterned it with #6 shot and it would make a fine turkey gun, but even better is how well it shoots a ball. Offhand at 30 paces it will hold groups the size of a tennis ball with my old eyes and shoulders behind it. It is one of the fastest flint guns I have shot. The bore is mirror like. Included with the gun is a single cavity .590 Rapine mold that casts a ball that is perfect for this gun when used with a .20 patch.....If I didn't build for myself I would never sell it.
I would point out that I will ship this piece if need be, but would prefer to sell it for local pickup as I have reservations about shipping such a fine Longrifle. For local pickup I am asking $1500 which I believe is fair for a piece such as this.... As an incentive for local pickup I will include in that price 3# of Goex FFg, about 20# of sheet lead and 12 or more English Flints to fit the lock. If I have to ship it ,the shipping will be USPS at the buyers cost. The powder, lead and flints will not be included in the price if shipped, but the mold will....Payments can be made by personal check, money order or cash.
Feel free to message me or ask here for more info. I live in Northern Maryland about 2 plus hours Southwest of Dixon's shop. We are about 40 minutes from Gettysburg. Thanks for looking....Bill

That's one beautiful fowling piece and a heck of a deal, IMHO.
