Default Gun identity

Have y'all ever seen a muzzleloader like the one on the furthest right in the pic? The far left is a .58 investarms carbine and a new .52 disc extreme that has been converted to bare 209 primer but never fired. I hope the pic uploaded. Of course on the very edge of the pic is my Oscar Schmidt round neck resonator guitar.

It has no markings? Need a better picture of the gun by itself, from the side, not the end.

It almost looks like a H&R. Hard to tell from that picture angle.

I forgot to mention its a .45 cal and a full octagonal barrel with no markings on the barrel. It does have a design on the breech and I do know what kind of gun it is but just wondered if anyone had saw one of these before.

Agreed. Or a custom made for Sears, or some other retail chain.

It was originally an FIE 12 ga shotgun and was customized to .45 cal BP. The gun was built in 1994 and it shoots extremely accurate with about anything. I only gave $100.00 for it and I definitely have gotten my money's worth in enjoyment.

Very interesting rifles there. That one does remind me of a H&R shotgun I used to have. But as long as they shoot good.. that's all that counts.

Nice looking guitar too by the way.

Thanks cayugad the guitar sounds and plays great. My 2 addictions are guitars and guns and not necessarily in that order. I have a .32 crocket that I enjoyed hunting squirrels with and decided to get me a new .36 flintlock frontier but have yet to shoot it. I have a few other ML's as well. Hopefully I will get to shoot some and post a few pics after I finish an old Miruko .45 I picked up at a flea market. Attached is my new .36 cal.
