Anybody know anything about this shotgun
« on: June 18, 2020, 10:12:26 PM »
Left hand, 33" barrel.  About .80cal. A real beast.  Nice maple stock. Builder?  I think the lock is a Siler?
Any thoughts or info appreciated.
Thanks, Rick

Usually huge lock panels like that indicate a relatively inexperienced builder who was freehand winging it without any particular reference material.

Looks like a friendship special to me. You see alot of guns like this on the field there.

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'?
