black powder long beards
 

I have been researching blackpowder shotguns for too long now...visits to many dealers and too many hours of reading online, it is time to buy one. I made a decision to pick up a 12g new englander but have been struggling locating one. My only question is... are the .54, .50, and 12 guage barrells interchangeable on the new englander?

You bet mutzinbauch, they are all interchangable.

excellent! i can't wait to hold one in my hands. do you have a new englander? thank you.

I do and love mine. I got lucky and found a guy that had one NIB. I got to break it in. I am trying to set it up for a turkey gun fro this spring.





I hope you have some good luck in finding a nice piece.

do you have the shotgun and the rifle barrel for your new englander?

No just the 12 ga. shotgun barrel. I also have a .58 cal. Big Boar, which I believe is on the same basic Renegade frame:







This one also was from the same guy and also NIB. I was very lucky on these two guns!!!

by the way rafsob...that is a beautiful weapon, thanks for the luck, i really need it.

there's one for sale on the GBO forum.but it ain't cheap......karl

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.
