bahahhaaa..... entertaining!!! How many shells does it hold in the magazine, tube gun comes to mind... (single shot not so crudely machined glorified piece of pipe comes to mind) So Cobray manufactured a pistol in 12g with an 18" barrel and put a stock on it, guess it's really a shotgun and not a pistol then.... It is an NFA item if the OAL is less than 26". This is in accordance with the GCA of 1934, Subject to forfeiture/seizure. He says only two that exist, that he knows of... well knows of at the current moment on gunbroker! If the OAL is 26" or more, then it's a Fugly looking single shot shotgun.

But the term "Auto Trigger" is more appropriate and is incorporated into more modern shotguns/pump action rifles of recent manufacture that are magazine fed including paintball guns.

From the looks of it, and the other gunbroker add of a fellow selling the same thing http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=89919584 . Spring loaded barrel with a fixed rear firing pin, other than a collector who would want a .... (Do people collect Cobrays?)

10 grand is an awful lot for that goofy stamped metal. I hope the girl comes with it.
