I have had a Middlesex BB for some years now. I am quite satisfied with it. It has always worked properly and is a hoot to shoot. With a 14" barrel everything is right THERE in front of your nose. Easy to clean, well balanced, lock, barrel, stock properly fitted. No complaints. Quite a handy little item. While it is nominally a 20 ga. gun, it is really more an 18 gauge. proper wads, etc., available from Circle Fly.
It is very similar to the A. Morrow Blunderbuss (Philadelphia, 1790) pictured on page 19 of James Forman's "The Blunderbuss 1500-1900".
