So, what would the practical use be for a functioning, firing one?

Personally, i think a mares leg in 22LR, would make a good 22 to have on a trap line. In fact, i've been thinking of buying one for that very reason.
Found a perfect recoil pad for my Mare's Leg.
I was in the golfing section of a department store the other day & spotted a thick nylon "boot" made for a golf putter.
The putter boot fits over the "stump" of my Mare's Leg perfectly & the slot is just the right length to allow the lever to operate without interference.
It's not really a stock extension......it's just a recoil pad so should not attract the wrong kind of BATFE attention.
Now I can snug the gun up to my collar bone & shoot it without bruising or breaking anything.
Sometimes you get lucky & things just work out..........not often..........but sometimes.
Is your Mare's Leg legally a pistol? Because if you put a recoil pad on a pistol, BATFE may consider the stump to have become a shoulder stock (due to the intention of firing from the shoulder), which could move the gun into the "unregistered Title 2 short-barreled rifle" category. It at least bears checking into just to make sure you're legal.Found a perfect recoil pad for my Mare's Leg.
