That guns a Macfarlane was made in New York or Boston I forgot which . The barrels I think were made in Belgium for them .

The great thing about this gun is the condition , very lightly used if at all . This things been in my possesion for about 20 years and I finally got around to shooting it this past fall . I don't really care for BP and have been using 777 2Fg . I think I was loading it with 80 grains of the 777 and nine 000 Buck pellets . Thing is rather open and the patterns at 25 yards with buck were not terrible but not the greatest either .

At some point down the road I wouldn't mind adding a decent British made 10 gauge SxS ML and perhaps an 8 gauge SxS ML .


On a side note any of you guys that waterfowl with ML's ever had the bunny warden check the diameter of your barrels ?
