Swap: .45 smoothbore rifle. Muzzleloader.

[Smellydog]

I'm reluctantly prepared to pass on my Kentucky style long rifle in smoothbore so classed as a SHOTGUN. Percussion and in very good condition.
I've owned it for nearly a decade I think.
Made circa 1983.
Can't legally comment about ball in it but I understand they are very good at it.
Don't think it's performance is akin to a 410. It's better! I load 19g of shot all the time sometimes more.
And it shoots moving targets very well too.
I'm putting the feelers out to see what you have if someone wants to scratch the muzzleloading itch for cheap.
Naturally it will come with necessary wad punch and what ever.

No legal issue shooting ball in a muzzle loading shotgun, it’s the shotgun cartridges (slug and ball) which is restricted, not the components and not firing the gun. Most national target matches is shot with smoothbore muskets.

What are you looking to swap for?

It was made by armisport, Italy. Long gone.
It's a celebratory model from 1988, not 1983 sorry.
