Here is an original flint to percussion conversion "smooth rifle" I own. This one, as many, probably started out life with a rifled bore. But with consecutive "freshening" outs left it as about a 24 gauge smoothie. Some smooth rifles began life as smoothbores. They generally all have a rear sight and rifle like architecture. As opposed to Fowler architecture.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
