    New ML shotgun

    Arrived today. Over 24" from muzzle to point of ignition, 1.35" bore, it's a shotgun

    Made by some German Count to put on the walls of his schloss c1830.

    I should complain - they've not sent you the stock, fore-end, trigger and lock!

    That looks like one hell of a beast.

    Clays or feather?

    Clays would be fun, but I'd either need and anti-aircraft mount or zap a trap full in one go

    Extremely unlikely... fortunately there is no requirement to have an antique gun in proof if you only want to shoot it
