Hello everyone, I have a unique gun here today that I picked up recently. This is a 10ga Muzzleloader originally made and sold through Wm Read I believe - but then at some point was converted by AG Genez to a Breechloading pin fire. I was able to find some interesting information about AG Genez (see below). Has anyone else run across guns that were modified by Genez? I had no idea what I had bought until it arrived at my doorstep. The wood is outstanding on this gun for sure. Unbelievable what you run across sometimes!!

wonderful old gun and history...thanks for posting...

have never heard of genez, but obviously, he was a master at his trade...and his being located in lower manhattan is very interesting to me...wonder how many more like him were located in "the city"?


keep it simple and keep it safe...

Nice!

I'd run it if it were mine.
Do you plan to shoot it?

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....

Interesting gun and wonderful workmanship. Here's a Genez conversion from a Williams and Powell muzzleloader to a pinfire.
