    My friend just showed me an old shotgun he has in the hopes of finding out what it is. I'll get a pic or two up when I can later, but for now I'll give a description.
    It is old, perhapse early to mid 1800's. Long barreled (single barrel) with a rotating breech block. Very similar to a Snider-enfield. Any ideas on where to look next?

    That's cool. I have one of these guns but mine dosn't work. I have a magazine article that has a lot of info in it. I'll try and find it. From what I know they were musket's that were converted into shotguns. There neat guns....don't know if I would shoot it though.
