Default Not ba wall hanger

Re-checked this gun today, and bought it- 30" uncut barrels- mirror bores, heavy a breech as miked- no dents or dings- no rust- and suspended them by lug with bungee cord and tapped each barrel from breech to muzzle and back with a 7/8" dia. wooden dowel- rang like bells- tight lock up at breech, snap caps with masking tape over dummy primers and dry test firing shows A-OK- original uncut butt-stock with intact 20 LPI checkering- ditto forearm, good straight dims w/o the usual 4" drop as sometimes seen on older guns $300 even money- will miked the chambers and start with some BP paper black powder loads- 2.5" 7/8 ounce no 7 shot and go from there-
