I have an old 12 guage shotgun that wouldn't be safe to shoot with modern ammo. It's an old Farwell Arms missing the forestock and the stuff the holds the forestock in place.
I was thinking about making a .50 caliber inline pistol with the action, that would be freakin' sweet. Or maybe a 12 guage Howdah. Of course it would have a breech plug permanently fixed in place so it couldn't ever fire shotgun shells. However I'm wondering about the legality of turning it into a .50 caliber inline muzzleloading pistol. I think that would look cool with the action of an old shotgun.
So my question is, would turning a cartridge long gun into a BP handgun be legal?
Thanks in advance!
