HA - Well I found out I gotta haul Scouts, and the Scout trailer this weekend. The trailer wiring on my old Jeep is in tough shape, so I went out and worked on it (in the rain) last night. About 10:30 in the pee em, I got frustrated enough that I tore the whole works out. So tonight I will wire the Jeep, load the trailer, and pack up for a weekend of camping. I am not sure when I will get the next layer of wrapping unwrapped.....

Heck, might as well just put the whole thing in the barn and let it sit in there a few years, or more...

Since you have little interest in the gun you might as well ship it to me.  I love them and will shoot and care for it like it deserves. :horse

I really wasn't shure if I should let cat out of the bag or not, being as though I am not shure if I had sent Mr President  pictures of said smoothbore.
So I will keep them to a minumum just in case.This is during the "build".
No breech plug and the makers marks weren't filed off yet.
I tried to show the inside of the muzzle as "smooth", but the flash may hinder this.
The muzzle protector and barrel bands are from the Possum Lodge in Canada,perhaps a few are familiar with this,it's kind of universal.
Hope ya'll enjoy the sneak peek. :toast
