Also it wouldn't be rifled, the stock would be straight not pistol gripped, probably in .62 to .75 caliber and probably have a metal dragon on the off side...if it has all of these, it is then a trade gun.
Yup, yup, yup, & yup......on all counts! It is a smoothbore .62 cal and has no rear sight, although I always thought the brass side plate was a 'Serpentine', not a 'Dragontine".

I'll try a bit heavier charge next time....I primarily bought the gun for small game, but wanted a backup gun in case something happened to my Hawken.
I suppose I could file the front sight down a bit; after all, it is only going to be a field gun.
