Antique Muzzeloader

Is there a larger antique muzzel loaded rifle than the blunderbuss?

You could have something like a punt gun. Something like that might range from a 2" A-bore (gauge), which could handle about two pounds of lead, all the way up to AA-bore, which was four inches in diameter and loaded with about 14 pounds of lead! Obviously these were not shoulder fired.

Thank you very much!

There is a British sea service musket that is the size of a small cannon. Pawn Stars just bought one on a recent show.

Fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain, New York has a couple of rampart guns on display. They look like a Brown Bress on steriods.
