Sorry - I phrased that post badly.
I sent back the mis-sized italian made musketoon and bought a "used" Parker Hale musketoon smoothbore from Henry Krank.
In an email exchange with a gentleman in Euroarms at the time he suggested that my barrel was transferred stock from Parker Hale
at the takeover.
Thanks for your informative reply.I was shooting yesterday and totally agree -- for MORE fun you'd have to take your clothes off.
