Hammergun Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Here is a couple of pics of my early 9mm Flobert Shotgun, Belgian manufacture. It is unusual in that it is built on wood like a muzzle loader, but the back of the chamber opens up. part octagonal steel barrel with hammer.

Hammergun Posted August 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 The firing pin is inside the part which lifts up. When you lift this up, the kicker pushes the shell case out. You have to cock the hammer to open the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammergun Posted August 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Just this one. Does anyone remember when it might have been in Sporting Gun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrapShot Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 This looks very similar to a patch ball muzzle loading rifle my farther has. Q. further down the barrel are the sights set at 25,50 and 75 ? Crapshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammergun Posted August 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 No sights, just a standard shotgun bead. Havent been able to date this, but I would guess it to be from the 1880s. Does anyone know when 9mm started? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsacadet Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 hi i had one of them , but the barrel on mine was only 23 inches in lenth, i did not think it was worth putting on my fac so i took it to my gun shop and got rid of it. a mate of mine had one a few weeks ago that looked the same but it was in 4.10. steve.
