    Old Gun, What is it?

    My dad found this yrs ago, out on a prospecting trip. It was leaning against a tree, with the stock burried up to the action in moss. When he picked it up the stock fell to pieces, but he found the butplate and screws. I seem to have misplaced the screws right now, but I'm sure they are in a safe place
    Anyway, What do you think?











    Do you think I will have to register it

    i think that is a muzzle loader shotgun due to the ramrod slot that is visible in the second picture

    Is one barrel smooth and the other rifled? If it is then I have something very similar in better shape though
    Many a child journeys this high to be different. To get from here what their natures couldn't get them below. lt comes to nothing. Can't cheat the mountain, pilgrim. Mountains got it own ways.

    Cap and ball shotgun from the looks of it! COOL! That sucker is probably more than a 100y old!
