That gun was strictly somebody's tool. It wasn't a collector piece, an heirloom or an investment. It was probably an essential component to someone's livelihood and survival. I don't think I've ever seen a gun that speaks of it's past like this one does. It is unique and if you're able to get back to shootin shape then you have restored it to it's intended purpose. I hope you never take it any farther than that. I love that gun!

Dave,
Popcorn Sutton spent most of his life in Maggie Valley. He was the self proclaimed "best moonshiner" in this area and promoted himself through his videos which really is a chamber of commerce statement for our mountains--pun intended. I think there is a TV show, possibly called "The Moonshiners" that airs in your part of the world as well as here.

I love it. If you can get pictures of the test fire that would be something to see.
