Got any pictures of them ? I might start collecting sxs muzzeloaders .
I talked to a double gunsmith today who specializes in black powder doubles .
He said he recommends removing the breech plugs on these old guns unless absolutely needed .

I found a nice little 24 ga double muzzleloader that I think would go good with my 8 gauge .

I think the brass fittings on this 8 gauge are not original to the gun .
I can see its inletted for a straight metal grip . Or perhaps they just inletted it out like that because it was quicker .

I think it will make a decent turkey gun . Since it doesnt have chokes I was looking at some 8 bore round balls . They weigh about 2oz which is the same as the amount of shot I planned on loading .
