Hi Adam;
It's a smoothbore...it's and Indian Trade musket from Cabela's. I have fired shot from it last winter, but the smoke and flame from the flintlock has caused me to flinch a bit. I planned on using it primarily as a small game arm, firing shot. I have found that a 28 gauge cardboard wad with an index card wrapped around and glued makes a handy shot container....I can write on the side of the tube what the shot size and load are. Post-it papers wrapped around work well, also, and can be color coded as well. I plan on using the gun for rabbits and maybe a few early season duck hunts, but hope to take a deer with it some day.
