Today I took a drive to Dixon's Muzzleloading Shop and saw this canoe gun (I know it's not an historical term) on the shelf. I've been looking for a 20 gauge percussion smoothbore and the fact that it's a lefty is icing on the cake.
Some measurements I took:
- Overall length 40"
- Barrel: 24.5"
- Length of pull 13.5"
- Weight 6.5 lbs.
- Width of buttplate 2"
The barrel has a slight flare at the muzzle end. The front and only sight is a trade gun-style turtle. It's a large Siler lock and the cone is sized for No.11 caps.
I'm hoping to develop good patterning shot loads and also a round ball load.
