This old shotgun is said to have been found by a man when he cut it down and milled it for its lumber. As to how it got there, it may have been left in the fork of the tree and then the tree grew around it as time passed!

that's neat. I tend to think the owner must have died to have left such a critical to survival tool behind. Or ran for their life at the very least.

cool I'm guessing from the look its a early 1800s single shot break action 12 gauge.


The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.
