    Nice show piece! Wildly inaccurate, underpowered and impractical, but damned cool looking.

    For those who aren’t black powder nerds; By the time you pour the powder and tamp a patch and ball in there, you got a half-inch of smoothbore barrel. Not nearly enough runway to get complete combustion, let alone aim with the tiny field of view (forgot the word I want). Bet money you couldn’t hit a 3’ target from 10 feet. LOL, balls coming out sideways!

    Anyhow, I want it.
