Has anybody ever had any experiences with these? I've always thought this would make a great brush gun.16" smoothbore barrel,66 caliber,captured ramrod,and English on top of that ! I have carried a 9lb. rifle,an 11lb. double flint, and a 10lb. Bess, something lighter sure sounds nice.

Looked it up on the old Internet Pete and it actually looks pretty interesting. Apparently the British sold a bunch of them to Mexico but I'm not sure what time period that was. That could possibly be a funnel into the southwest so a trapper or trader might possibly come by one in Taos or Santa Fe. It actually looks like a pretty cool little gun! Where would you obtain it from?

If I did it would probably be from The Rifle Shoppe. I'm having a pair of Spanish miquelet pistol built right now ,so I will probably plan and wait awhile.
