    I have a .45 Douglas barrel that was on my Bob Watts when I bought in in 1977...About 1990, I replaced with a Earl Rayle .40 caliber.... I give talks to the local schools on the American Revolution and would like to remove the breach plug on the .45 so I can show the kids the rifling inside...

    New England Fowler

    You guys talking about turkey season have got me thinking about a smoothbore...Now, I have both a .40 and a .54 custom built flinter, so I'm not concerned about shooting round balls or buck and ball...Frankly, I would much prefer to use my .40 for turkeys...But... If going for a pure, turkey...
