Yes, I plan to shoot the gun - I have to order some 10ga pinfire shells - I have ordered 12ga brass shells in the past but not used them yet - have not loaded pinfire yet, should be interesting....

Hi Daryl Thank you for posting this! That is almost the identical conversion to mine but yours is in better condition or more extensively restored than mine. Either way very nice!! Brian

Some muzzleloaders after cutting a chamber in their breech could end up with rather thin walls in that area. Muzzle-loaders were made for black powder which normally has a lower max breech pressure than does smokeless, might want to stick with black in the conversion.
