Anyone have or is familiar with one? I have a chance to get one for $150 in great shape. Oh yeah, it's a sweet 16.

If you buy it I would load it with black powder. Cut the crimp petals off a 2 3/4 inch hull. Any wad to match the hull. Use an over shot card glued in with water glass or elmers glue. Those old sxs were not built for modern ammo. In good shape for 150 I would jump on it.

Grew up lugging an old Knickbocker double. 12 gauge . Not old enough to be black powder but we always shot low brass 7. -8 shot through that and the old Syracuse…. Which I believe would be a black powder gun
