Question.
Are pinfire shotguns allowed in any of the A.L.R threads, or are they just muzzle loading only

Feltwad,  Are they front stuffers?  If so, yes.  If not, then post it in the Back Porch forum.  Thanks for asking. 

Sorry I'm not framilar with pin fire guns.

Ken  Thanks for the answer.
Pinfires are breech loaders an important part of the guns history situated in the transition period 1845 -65  between the muzzle loader and the centre fire breech loader.
