Licensed to kill - 11/15/2022 21:02 Depends on the vintage but Purdey, Boss and Holland and Holland are among the very best in suppository, I am a HUGE fan of William Smith and Charles & Samuel Smith in the flintlock era as well as Manton and Nock (among others)
Could you clarify that statement for me please? My mind has gone too many directions....
A "suppository" gun is one where a cartridge is shoved in the back of the barrels (breech loader) as opposed to a muzzleloader where it is loaded from the front.
