4 gauge Blunderbuss

[Bobby Ironsights]

I've seen .80 caliber Brown Bess's

Does that mean that the bore limit doesn't apply to flintlocks?

Does that mean I really could have/build a flintlock arm-howitser like the great birding guns of yore, that killed off the passenger pigeon?

Are you referring to bore sizes permitted under hunting regulations?

No, bore size limitations for civilian ownership of centerfire rifles, I was told it was .50 Caliber.

Blunderbuss? Arrgh .It's perfect for self defence against Pirates or highwaymen.

That depends on which side of the 49th parallel you are on. If you are on the south side, most guns over 50 cal are considered Destructive Devices and are registered and regulated. Also a US $200 transfer fee each time it is sold.
No more imported into the US since 1968
If you are on the north side, no such nonsense!
The thing in the foreground is a PTRD, a Russian anti tank rifle, 14.5 x 114 mm, about 58 cal.

A closer look.
