Thanks men..I also have an old double 10 I put together..
It belonged to my great grandfather..I shoot it once in a while.
It was in sad shape when my dad gave it to me..Dad passed
away before I got it done,so he was not able to hear it talk
again..I use black powder in it only..It takes a 2 5/8 inch
shell is all..But boy does she bark..I had to completely redo
the stock and make a new hinge pin..It was really loose in the
joints..I will try to post a picture of it..The barrels are damascus..
But I aint afraid to shoot it..
