You mean this beauty!!!! Lucked out on getting this one a few years back at a swap meet. Couldn't believe how good the condition of the box and parts were in for such an oldie..

Hi Peter,

Yeppers, I have for real 10 Gauge and 12 Gauge black powder double barrel shotguns and a convertible 12 Gauge, 50 Caliber, and 54 Caliber single barrel rifle/shotgun combo, but could probably never afford a real Blunderbus. Being in 1/1 scale it would look good on the wall next to the real ones. The Hobby site shows it available for less than $14.

It is a real gas to take the shotguns out when my buddies and I go out for some trap shooting. While it may take a bit longer to load one of them up, they are just as effective at busting those clay targets. I will admit it is a bit disconcerting to not be able to see the clay burst when hit, the black powder smoke has a nasty habit of clouding your view unless it is a windy day. One of my former employers even got to where he wouldn't go out with us, something about it being too humbling to be shown up with his Baretta Trap gun against a replica 150 year old shotgun. lol :D
