Should be meeting up with someone to view a Berreta Muzzle loader shotgun. It,s a super imposed model double. One barrel is cylinder and the other has some slight choke. I have heard good thing about these what do you know about them?
The gent selling it has used it on game, skeet and trap-sounds promising.
Hope it fits me

Not much, as I haven't even seen one in almost twenty-five years.

I remember when the over-under Beretta muzzleloaders first came out. They were quite a novelty among the shotgun shooters at the various rendezvous I attended in far northern California.
I also remember that the fellows shooting them had problems with the lower barrel mis-firing. It was attributed to the extra long length of the lower barrel's flash hole. Using quality percussion caps helped to alleviate the problem, but it was so common that the Berettas soon fell out of grace, and I have not seen one used in over ten years.

Thanks guys, I have read that you have to keep that long flash tube clean so I would if I get it make a special tool for the job
