Finally got around to uploading a picture from one morning of hunting last fall. The single barrel, 19 gauge, percussion was made by William Nunn out of Herford circa 1850. All accouterments are vintage 19th century.
Used a load of 2 1/2 drams FFg, and 1 oz. volume of #7 bismuth (have to use non-toxic for snipe in our area now).
The gun is an absolute pleasure to hunt with. Only weights 4 1/2 lbs. Right now I'm in the process of making a new ebony ramrod to replace the original that was damaged when I bought the gun.
