Description:
An unusual and rare to find is this underhammer, take-down rook gun or poacher's gun. Measuring about 48" with a screw off barrel of  29" and a very good condition American walnuy stock. The front sight is a bead type, and the rear sight is a notched insert. The hammer is pulled down manually and the string releases the hammer. The is a smooth bore of about a tight 28ga percussion. The bore has moderate corroding and pitting about half way down and the rest mostly clear. Has a brass cresecent butt-plate.these were taken apart and placed in an back-pack so it would be concealed. Almost never see these. Don't think iy's safe to shoot as this is for a light charge. When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith  before  shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost.   We don’t have a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns  affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of  older guns If you attempt to buy,  you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed.  Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.  I’m easy to get along with. Thank You
