Just scored this Fine Dixie Gunworks Belgian Blunderbuss !!!!!!!! OH HAPPY DAY !!!!
I have only seen them in my old 1973 Dixie catalogue...never at any gunshows or any online auctions...quite Rare bird !
It is 27" long, barrel is 13.5 inches,,,bore measures .95 which makes it a 4 1/2 bore.
The case hardened frizzen has not been struck.
The barrel is stamped with the Belgian ELG
proofmark.
From my research it is " supposed to" be capable of firing a load of 4 oz shot backed by 200 grains of powder...I will Never load that heavy...
I will probably shoot a normal 12 guage load...
....All in All ...I am very HAPPY !!!!!
I always said that if I Ever run into one of these for sale its gonna be mine!!!!!
the Dream came true.
