Hello all.
I was chatting with a friend last night and the disucssion turned to Black Powder as we both have an interest. However, he raised an interesting question that I do not have an answer to. When was the first break-open shotgun? I've done some searching but I think the words are too commonly used for google to come up with good answers. I believe all of the Civil War shotguns were muzzle loaders, but not certain for how long after that.
Anybody know?
