I haven't gotten around to actually shooting it. I have a few 14 brass hulls, a mix of modern and old. A friend did locate some 1950's era Ely paper shells. They were about $100 bucks a box of 25. I passed.
This gun requires you to never forget 1/2 cock.
The springs are massive. There is a small crack on the bridle alongside the top screw. You can make it out in the photo. Look at the top bridle screw near the firing pin.
Toby and I never noticed it until I did some close-up shots of the lock on half cock, when there is strain. The crack is nearly invisible when uncocked. I need to get that fixed before shooting her.
I also have a Charles Lancaster 14 hammer gun that I haven't shot. I don't have any photos of it to post.
