My buddy has had this on his mantel for a while. He finally finished it.

16 ga, twist finish Belgiam, Pieper,
Manhattan Arms

Rented a dent remover to take care of the barrel.
Slimmed down the stock and fitted a steel buttplate.

Carol did the checkering.

Rustblue but the color is a bit funky.

Very cool old shotgun; contact MDStewart; guns of this vintage and older, are all he shoots, regularly.

I've done a half dozen or so in the last 10yrs, 12s ,16s , and a 10. Shot them all. Fun old guns, sold all but one to CAS guys.

would you only shot black powder out of it?

Smokeless loads of the right pressures are just fine.
