Default RE: Shotgun?

When you say the Pedersoli, are you refering to the "Mortimer" shotgun with a flintlock ignition? If so, that is called a "fowler" not a shotgun. BP shotguns use percussion ignition, fowlers are smooth bore guns that use a flintlock.

I have the Pedersoli fowler, it comes in a 12 gauge only I believe. Overall it is an excellent gun. My only complaint is that I broke the ramrod during its second trip down the barrel. But that was my fault, I was using the wrong over powder wad.

If you are looking for a shotgun, Cabelas has one:

If you are looking for a fowler, the only one that I know of that is readily availableis the Pedersoli.
