Nice gun,
Akehurst Game guns and rifles has a pic. in it of a similar gun and I saw a WR rifle that was exactly the same some time ago in the UK.
Best wishes,
Hubert

It'll sure turn out great. I assume although it's a transition gun, it fires centerfire ammunition?

Looks like at one time it was able to fire both pinfire and centerfire.

I see a dovetail shaped filler at the top of the breech faces behind both barrels. The right barrel may have a spot where the pinfire pin holes were filled. I the Mike may have a point, but freely admit I'm out of my element on transitional guns. Looks like a beauty.

The barrels would have to be drilled for a pinfire, and the hammers much longer.
