Slug Guns and Muzzleloaders

[MikePifer]

Happy New Year especially since I found this Forum, somewhere to learn about Slug Guns and such. Short story, about ten years ago I purchased a Slug Gun from a gentleman that felt his eyes were getting to poor to shoot the SG. I purchased it thinking when I retire I will learn to shoot it. I did run into a few SG shooters that told me that I would need 6/8 years to learn anything about this game. Retirement never came and the SG sat all alone waiting. A few weeks ago I received a call from the wife of the Gentleman that I purchased the SG from telling me that her husband developed dementia and could not function any longer. Before reaching this point told her to offer any of his guns to his son and his brother if any left to sell call me. I now not only have a SG setting I have a 50 lb round ball gun and 14 lb round ball gun. I will look forward to reading all I can here and perhaps by the time some better weather comes to CT i will at least have some idea where to start.

SG 45 Cal 58 lbs action Bresien Bbl Goodoien FM Cross Patch

50 lb RB 50 Cal Action underhamer? Bbl Bresien FM

14 lb RB 50 Cal Action P.Quaglino Bbl ? FM

All guns had tools with them, however could not find his note book with load info would have been nice if I could.

When I learn how to I will post photos, I would love to know more about my rifles. I am familiar with Bresien & Goodoien names, however no idea about P. Quaglino

More later, thanks for reading.
