Post by: bowkill on April 29, 2021, 01:04:51 AM
Gentleman can you tell me what I have.. Bought a gun from a fellow and it was a 2 to buy 1 deal.. Don't think it's a wilson trade gun, some kind of repo?

And what kinda of weapon of war would this be patterned after?

It’s intended to represent a Carolina or Type G trade gun, and is a current reproduction. If it works well and handles well, should be a fun gun. It could go on a diet if you feel like working on it.

Can’t buy parts for that. If all functions well I know some guys in my club that are looking for a smoothbore. It would go fast.

Is that one of those India things?

The red stock kinds looks that way, Mike. That is the colour of them. The grain structure also looks similar.
The lock is different from the ones I saw, though.
Also, the bore is smaller on this one, appears a 20 bore. Lots of space between the bottom of the barrel channel
and the ram rod groove.

Mystery solved.   Pulled the lock and barrel.    Made in India.

What's the bore size, it looks 20bore-ish.

Before shooting it, I would pull the breech plug and check threads and their # and engagement/fit.
