Corey, what are the range on the sabot slugs?Oh - wow, that's pretty good for #2! some 00 buckshot would be a little better, but you really need to get you some sabot slugs. A couple well placed slugs should make quick work of that limb.
Definitely from a gun to that limb!Corey, what are the range on the sabot slugs?

Thanks Jags. The forearm on the barrel came loose after the last shot so it looks like I'll be taking it to a gun shop, I'll have him check the barrel with a choke gauge.On those old single shots, they were not always marked. A bore choke gauge is often the only real way to tell on some of those. I have one that is choke so hard that you CAN NOT use copper clad shot. It will blow the end of the barrel off.
My warning comes from the fact that you say it kicks like a mule. Mine does too and it is because of two factors. First, it is a pretty light gun, second is because it is choked very hard. Your gun might be as well. If so - no,no to the slugs.

The forearm has a different setup, it actually hooks into a spring loaded mechanism, I think the spring is shot.(Just real loose)Perfect!
Yeah, it probably has a spring load "leg" that snaps in when the far end of the forearm is snapped into place?The forearm has a different setup, it actually hooks into a spring loaded mechanism, I think the spring is shot.(Just real loose)

We will see what Mother Nature brings from the Gulf of Mexico this Hurricane season.
I have an antique Damascus barreled 16 gauge that has this same problem.The forearm has a different setup, it actually hooks into a spring loaded mechanism, I think the spring is shot.(Just real loose)

Yes it is a double barrel. Has the hammers and external firing pins. Definitely worth restoring. I also have a 1840-ish double barrel percussion muzzleloader shotgun with some beautiful silver inlay work, its missing both locks and the ramrod. Gotta get that one restored too.Nice gun, is that a double barrel?
Big difference from photo 1 to 2. Just one more shot!
