Nice gun, I like round barrels, we don't use them enough when looking at historical examples. With what I've been building the last few years I consider 42" to be a carbine! ;)

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

I would like to build more round barrel guns, I agree they are under-used. I was also hoping to see a 50+ inch barrel when I saw the headline!
