Hello mutzinbauch,

I purchase one of these last fall from a guy who bought it an never shot it. I havent shot it yet myself, and am thinking about the Turkey hunting thing. from the information I have read on the web, they are a blast to hunt with. If your looking for a 12 gauge New Englander, they first made them in just cylinder bore, and I believe the latter ones had the interchangable chokes. (Mine is the cylinder choke model) from what I have read about these are you have to play alittle with the powder loads and the shot amounts to get a decent shot pattern. but if after you get one, and you come back to this forum you will get all the information about that kind of stuff from the great guys here. thats how I kinda learned myself. and if you are looking now to buy, you might be able to find a barrel and a stock sold seperatly on ebay, seems thats one of the ways to get one.

I paid $200 each for both the New England and the big Boar. I guess I got a great deal!!!

thank you nchawkeye...i got logged into this website and sent that guy a message to make arrangements to purchase. i really appreciate your post! this just might be the weapon that finsihes my PA "big 3". Bear, Buck, and Gobbler!

wow, excellent infomation. i am new forum thing but everyone has been so helpful. i appreciate this information. i never thought that something like this existed. i hope that someday i could give information that helps someone else out.
