There is a company that sells smooth bores from India. Don't know if this is one, and can't remember the company name.

In the winter of '76 I was living in Frenchtown NJ. We used to shop at a dept store called Lanco. They has a gun dept and had a very similar one for sale I think around $129. I think they were made for the bi-centenial. Making $5 an hour at the time funds were tight, so I passed. I believe there was a thread on the subject on this forun. They had a name for it which I can't remember to look it up. I may be totaly wrong but the short bbl and garish patch box `make me think otherwise. Someone will hopefully add a little more. Best regards, Jaeger

Thanks guys. There are a few companies selling the India imports but i have never seen one of them selling one that looks like this. But who knows.
Ultra High, Miroku (Japan) made them but that's not a + in this case. They have a 2 piece barrel screwed together at the junction of the octagon and round parts. Check the bore for alignment of the two pieces, some have quite a step there. I've never heard any horror stories about them but I only knew one person who had one and I don't believe he fired it.

The patchbox isn't a patchbox. It has no opening. It is a big, brass inlay.
I'm missing something here.
I don't see any pictures or a link to any pictures. It's hard to say what it is without looking at it.

You don't see any pics because you moved this thread to Flintlocks Forum. The pics are there. And i didn't have the "India Made " in the title, someone added that.

Surprising that someone other than the OP can change a thread title, probably something that needs to be addressed. This part should be moved and combined with the thread that was moved to the Flintlock Rifles forum.
When I see two threads that are made by two different people I assume each one of them is about two different guns.
To differentiate this thread from the one made by you, after I moved this thread from the Firearms Identification section (where it didn't belong because that area is for real, original guns), I add the India Made to the title.
Now that you are saying the gun you showed in your post is the same gun that is being talked about in this thread I will give folks a link to it so they can see the pictures.
