Antique Percussion caplock Smoothbore Muzzleloader
The Antique Firearms dealer who sold this beautiful relic to me said that it was dated to 1830-1840, and that it was most likely a North American made long gun.
The barrel is 20 inches long and it's got an 18 gauge(.637")Bore.
I imagine this was made by modifying an older musket.
The short barrel makes it more manageable for someone on horseback
There was no actual providence or history known about this Muzzleloader, and so an educated hypothesis is necessary.

DPNAO Multitool
This DPNAO MULTITOOL is much higher quality than a copy of this tool that is available everywhere online.
I have two of the other cheaper wrench-pliers tool, and one cost me only $9, and the other was $13, but it feels fragile and screws even fall out of the tool...this DPNAO tool is so much better, reliable & well made.
