I brought the E.M. Reilly down to The Backwoods SxS event today & had several of the more knowledgeable dealers there take a look at it. The consensus was that it was built as a pinfire 4 bore sporting gun around 1870 & a little later converted to centerfire, probably by the maker. The bores both measured .894. I still don't have an accurate weight but I plan to do that this coming week on postal scales.

Best Regards, George
