Gents,
I am trying to put together a build for this coming winter. I am still a rookie, but have built a few rifles. In thinking about what to make the idea occurred to me that maybe I should build a smoothbore. I have never owned or shot a smoothbore gun and I don't know much about them. I was hoping for some recommendations. I would like to use the gun for the shotgun shoots at rendezvous, also to shoot a roundball for the target shoots and trail walks, and hunt deer or elk. Maybe this is asking to much of one gun, but it sounds like smoothbores are fairly versatile. I want to be able to carve, and engrave the gun, plus try out some wire inlay. I don't know much about them so any recommended reading or where to research and learn would also be appreciated as I don't even know where to start.
