CVA 12ga Hawken style shotgun. Has a bead sight and screw in chokes. I only got 1 choke tube with it and I can't figure out what chokes it takes. Can anybody help???

Beretta 12ga O/U. This is the special edition from the factory, not a kit gun. I've had this gun for over 25 years. Nice bird gun.

This ugly brute is the Junk Yard Dog. The 10ga barrel is off of a Marlin goose gun. The action and stock are off of a CVA Blazer rifle.
I know it looks like Bubba built it but that's intentional. Walk up to the trap line with this thing and you totally blow people's concentration.

And last we have the Blaster. 75cal calvery carbine. 16in barrel with rifle sights and a captive ramrod. The perfect brush gun.

Years ago I read a post from a gent who killed a nice buck with his 2 pounder. I believe his shot load was a couple dozen.72 caliber balls.Some pics of my brothers smooth bore.

Golf ball bore so it's a 1 pounder.

It will shoot a one pound ball over half a mile. Haven't tried it with shot loads yet.

I know of ONE Bess musket that had a barrel rupture. The head of the umbrella organization that held the event when the musket when up from a blank, had the split barrel checked for metallurgy. It was operator error due to an incorrect procedure for a misfire that had crept into common practice. Since then, there have been no more barrel rupture events. Further, I know two Germans and a Brit who shoot them and they have all been to their respective proofing houses and the guns have passed proof.yeah I hear they blow up too but isn't it funny when you ask to see these blown up India guns where the excusses come! but I own one and its a 20 guage and I have loaded it up to 120grs of 3f goex and no i'll effect shown still firing that India made gun today!
also something to add these guns from India are made with like leaf springs and car axles etc, from cars trucks that are junked so this metal is way stronger that the originals made out of wrought iron back in the days when they had to make them, so the metal is far stronger using steels today so these guns are much safer than ever before!I know of ONE Bess musket that had a barrel rupture.
