44 caliber shotgun?
Met a guy at a garage sale who said he had a 44 caliber shotgun. Old SxS came down from his grandpa. Would this be maybe a 9 mm smoothbore or is it something else? He said he once took it to a gun show in Fla. and a guy offered him $300 for it. That is all the info I have. I will get to see it myself in a couple of weeks and am hoping to get smarter in the meantime. Any help appreciated.

". Would this be maybe a 9 mm smoothbore or is it something else?"............probably a single shot, break action shotgun chambered for the .44/40 shot cartridge. I've seen a number of them. most have been rechamberted for the .410 shot shell, I'm 'told' all you need is a 9/16" drill bit [}:)] 0 -
