It doesn't have a place for a ramrod because it's a live pigeon gun. They didn't use them in the field so there was no reason to have a rod with them at all times.

Any idea how many Mullin guns are still known to be around?

OWD Well I never started a database or anything like that on the Mullins guns. I no longer have that as-new 10 gauge or my 4 gauge, kept my little (for a Mullin)12 gauge double. Over the years I have read about and know of about maybe 30 or so total. They surface very often and when they do they are overlooked because as a general rule most people equate an expensive gun with engraving, no engraving, no sale. The 10 gauge I bought in Vegas a few years ago had been carried to many gunshows with zero interest according to the owner. If anyone has a Mullin I would like to learn about it.

What kind of charge did you have in that 4 gauge when you fired it?
I've shot driven ducks in England with a double 4 bore Holland & Holland firing 3 ounces of shot out of each tube and it didn't recoil anything like that.

Destry,
I remember 3oz shot but don't remember the amount of powder, remember that it was full of 2F. The film is of my friend Mike who, in all fairness, was standing on some very slipper ice ;-). When I shot the gun there was not a step backwards but then I'm a little larger than Mike.
Mark,
I was laughing so hard that I forgot I was running the camera and pointed it at the ground, a fun day.

Cody, I seem to remember whey you were buying that gun, could you post a picture? I don't get to see many and it would be a treat. I just looked through my Mullin pictures, is this your gun?
