Half stock smoothbore missing what was probably a bead sight.  Anyone ever seen one of these before?  Thanks for any help.

I believe that Hopkins & Allen made guns like that.

Chuckle  :D  #1 wrong answer.  #2 wrong answer is Wesson.
Any more speculation?

  From your picture, it looks like a shotgun made by Remington .  A description with picture can be found in Flayderman's
(5E-076.5).  It cites that they were made "c. 1866 through 1870's...  20 ga. with 35" round barrel..."
