Ed Kennell 38,022 #54 Posted April 25, 2019 The stock has a Tung Oil finish and the steel parts were browned (rusted) with iodine. I have fired it many times at paper, and have actually harvested two deer with it. Being a smooth bore , with 90 grains of FF black powder pushing the patched round lead ball, it's range is limited to around 50 yds. The bore diameter is just slightly larger than a 16 gage shotgun and it does pattern fairly well at 25 yds with #6 lead shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
