Pete you gonna get one a do a range report for us? Your Double Badger comments help ped me decide to get one, tho i had to settle for a 22/20gauge cause all the 410's were never in stock!

:shock: :o :shock: :o Nooooooo thanks !

:mrgreen:

The 20ga wasn't yet an option when I ordered my .22Mag/.410 DB - how do you like it ?

I glued a small felt pad to the underside to act as a buffer for keeping the lever from making a loud noise when it snaps up against the bottom.

I like it alot. 20 gauge is cheaper and i can either down load it or put a 410 liner in that i had made. Dont like the fat plastic fiber optic sight but dont plan on sniping squirrels at 75 yards or head shooting grouse at 50! I drilled out the stock bolt channel and can get 2 shells in it and some 22 ammo.

I've often thought of altering my DB to a Savage 24 Camper butt storage for ammo.

Hmm, the mention of the 22/.410 got me to thinking, always a dangerous thing. But how about this double barreled monster as a Drilling. Say a .44 barrel under the smooth bores. Sort of a reverse LeMat.

Ma told me there`s nothing new under the sun. This is a teat fire 50 caliber from probably around 1850?? No makers name or serial numbers. I figure it might have been a boarding pistol? It has two holes drilled for a metal clip to wear in a belt or sash.

Another picture of it with a old s&w american and a 1858 Remington new model army to give a idea of size.

These have finally started shipping after an eight month or more wait when promised in 4 to six weeks.

I have temporary custody of one and have shot it exactly four times.

a left and a right of 3cc wano reenactor followed by a well tamped cotton ball for overpowder wad then a load of 3.3cc of #5 sheathed in a well waxed 3"x3" cleaning patch, the loose ends of the patch acting as an over shot wad as the wax cooled.

and a left and a right of same powder charge, cotton ball then a waxed patched 5/8" steel ball.

actually hit a 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper at about 25 feet with all four shots.

Sounds fun. With a moderate charge like that, it probably is reasonably comfortable to shoot. How is it for noise and flame out the muzzle?

not too loud.....did not notice flame due to bright sun but indoors or after sunset i'm sure it sparkles some.

b.t.w. there are 43 daisy bb's in the recomended 1/2 oz. load. sheathed in a waxed cleaning patch for a shotcup of sorts, they should not gouge the bore.

I do not want to be on the receiving end of that. BBs are hard and they hurt.

Yeh, but which end would be the receiving end? I think it would be a killer at both ends :o
