I have one, except it's an Indian reproduction from 1972 and in 12 guage (.729" bore). I love it, it's so light. With a 1oz .71 caliber lead ball, I have used it for muzzleloader season (not successfully yet, but some day).

Not the gun but the cartridges

It's not "calvary," that's where Jesus was crucified, it's "CAVALRY."
