Dusty Morningwood Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Sold. This is an antique Forehand and Wadsworth single shot 20 gauge with straight rifling and side hammer. Google has yielded no others with rifling. It has a twist steel 33" half round half octagon barrel with a good plus bore. Muzzle is flared with an inlayed ring. Just some minor pitting in bore, but nothing heinous. Nickel plated receiver has most of its original finish, with edge wear and scratches. An illegible name is scratched into one side. A screw that holds the side plate in place is broken off. Needs an Easy Out to remove and probably new drill and tapping for a replacement. Plate not loose. The barrel release lever is weak, but not sloppy. Action is pretty tight with some slight play. Hammer screw is replacement with washer. Stocks are in good plus condition, with a stable crack on the right grip knob. Small sliver missing on forestock. The straight rifling will allow use of shot or round ball loads. Fun black powder shotgun in a scarce configuration. Bore measurements are .582 lands and .613 grooves. $325+ Shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
