Hi
Does anyone have any info on one of these, theres one for sale on guntrader and was curious if anyone has one or used one.
Not sure what use they would be other than a bit of fun.

Dito above, but if its cheap enough and you have a slot and want one. Have it. You can always sell it again when you get bored with it, if youve payed the right price. Tim

Hi
Suppose it does seem a bit of a waste of a FAC slot and probably would get little used.

Hi Jim
Not sure if there are any specific comps for it or that class of pistols, maybe as a cowboy action side shoot perhaps, thats where it would fit into my theme of guns.
Greasemonkey can you remember if the barrel was rifled, how much powder did it take and how did you get the ball up the barrel.
The more I look at the pic the more my interest rises and when my missus saw it she fell for it straight away, she a winchester rifle/western gun nut.
