I have come into possesion of an appropriate vintage single shot 12 gauge. Yes, I know the logic of the no pumps for Black Powder or Pistoleer. But I see no reference to a single barrel/single shot in the tally book. Am I missing something, or am I just blind?

  That passed 24-0 at the 19th Territorial Congress (March 7, 2003)

But it appears that it was overlooked and not placed on the official "Approved List".  I'll fix the online version and forward it to the Secretary so it's included with the next printed copy.

Actually, by NCOWS standards, that type would be VERY authentic.  I'll bet that it was the most common seen on the Frontier - at least, after a certain time period.  I read somewhere that it was VERY common with the settlers.  And settlers certainly outnumbered the "cowboys" by a LARGEnumber!
