I just posted a picture in the Guns Gallery. It is a Pedersoli, but no, I didn't saw off the Pedersoli bbls. The ones on it came from Gun Parts Corp. as an unturned, unchambered bbl blank. (I sawed that in half). Stock looks a little funny, but I needed the extra length for the original bbls. One of these times I might make a pistol stock for it. But its fun. Don't you just love muzzle loaders? Configure 'em any way you want and still be an upstanding citizen!
