English 6 caliber smoothbore Power Proof
Description: English 6 caliber smoothbore Power Proof. Highly sought after and very rare to find. 6 caliber were heavy duty large game hunting rifles. When an 8 caliber wasn't enough and a 4 caliber too heavy, the 6 caliber was KING. This gun went thru normal barrel proofing but then endured the POWER PROOF. Successful guns were engraved with the SUNBURST symbol about 6 inches from the breech end of the barrel. These POWER PROOFED guns were the strongest available in their given caliber. POWER PROOFED guns shot 4 caliber loads being 360 powder and 3 to 4 ounces of lead. Regular 6 caliber guns service load was 179 powder, 2.5 ounces lead. Super solid gun. Unused for the most part. Has been handled. Bore is super nice, smooth. Wood very solid with nice original ramrod. Barrel is 45 inches long, around 15 lbs. Lock has been upgrade with nice soft let off. Comes with cards and wads for shooting. Very rare. In 35 yrs, I've only seen a picture of one, and this gun. Shipping not included. SOLD Condition: Excellent |
