My first ML was an H&S 12 gauge dbl that I bought through the mail from Charles Moore in NY. I paid $115 for it (1970). I hunted with it until the rrod pipes fell off and I taped them back on and continued until the bottom ribs fell off. I sent it back to England and had the barrels separated, restruck and re-soldered. When I got it back, I put it together and it's still sitting on the wall unfired. Having the work done cost 3 times what I paid for the gun. Go figure! I spent most of my money on fast w***n and slow horses. The rest, I wasted on muzzleloaders. James "Sparkleberry Jim" Levy
