wwillson Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Has anyone seen or fired one? I really didn't even know they existed, although I'd think standard hulls could be loaded with black powder if you had a recipe.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLH70 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I have one that belonged to my great grandfather, it's from the mid 1800's, has a Damascus barrel. It has not been fired in over 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Saw quite a few of them at a cowboy action shootout. A lot of them used brass hulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLH70 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Here is the aforementioned shotgun. It has the words Real Twist inlaid in the rib. It is marked Bentley & Son on the inside of the side lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLH70 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 It's a muzzle loading shotgun. After re-reading I see you were asking about black powder cartridge shot guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzle loading shotguns are even more of an anomaly to me. Thanks for the picture - gives me something else to ponder.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
