Baltimore Arms Damascus side by side, full and extra full 12 ga. trap (or duck) gun.  I have used British black powder #6 (equivalent to US 7-1/2) loads in it within the last couple years and in the distant past, lo brass smokeless.  Runs good, fun to shoot, has taken it's share of clay pigeons.  What a PIA to clean after bp loads.  LOVE that smoke, first time I took it up to the club, I didn't tip anyone off.  Big time side glances from the squad since I usually shoot an O/U.  I shot station 1 first, breeze from left to right, and the smoke drifted over the whole squad --:troll:
