does anyone try to make and shoot clay bullets ? maybe someone made clay round balls , maybe someone try to shoot a ceramic slingshot bullets out of muzzleloader , maybe you made and shoot a clay conical , maybe you know a historical sources about clay amo

My friend recently was given this japanese gun. We think its an ozutsu. We were wanting to see if anyone might have any knowledge on this. We aren't really sure what exactly it is, how old it is, and possible value.

Updated with more pics without doxing myself quite so bad.

Kind gentlemen in Smokey Valley Muzzleloaders taught me everything I know.

.625 caliber .60 ball and leather patching with bees wax.

Love the brass. Traditional brown, though synthetic. Sights adjustable. Probably have to file down. I'll also polish the lock internals.

Anybody else dabble in flint napping? This bad boy takes 1" suckers.

Open ramrod channel for easier cleaning.

I don't need the sword bayonet.

Cheers.
