does anybody know of a company that can or would be willing to make a custom rifled over under or side by side barrel?
I'm interested in making a non nfa 20 gauge pistol. im just feeling around for a price to make a prototype if i can get ATF approvalA little more information might help narrow things down for you. Though posted in the Shotguns forum, it sounds like you are after a custom double rifle?
Caliber, intended use, need for customization, would all help. A custom double rifle will be, as I am sure you are aware, a very capital intensive endeavor. I would imagine that the floor for a utilitarian model is somewhere north of $20K, and the sky is the limit. If that is well understood, then no worries. If that is somewhat daunting, then perhaps purchase of a used double with subsequent stock work for fit would be more economically viable?
AM Little, Bespoke Gunmakers LLC. He is in a small town in Texas and can make a complete custom gun from scratch, including all barrel and water table work, stock making and checkering, and finish work.
This guy is very good. I’ve seen a couple of examples of his work and it was outstanding. I’ve also spoken with him on the phone and he seems like a real nice guy.

There's at least 20 to 30K difference in the cost of McKay vs. Little doing what he wants, IF, he could even talk either one into doing it! And, I don't think he can....If your aim was production of such firearms for sale, I would argue that a double pistol cannot be made to a price point that would offer the volume to make it a viable product and that, if one were willing to pay a great deal for it, McKay Brown or Mr. Little are more likely to be the preferred makers.

Thing is, WHERE will the NEXT one shoot???Start looking for a Lanber Unifrance O/U 12 gauge. It has 3 inch chambers, 21 inch barrels.
Nice handy gun for the thick brush or deep woods area's, the only draw back is it weighs 6 pounds.
Mine puts a 525 grain Lyman slug dead on at 50 yards, bottom barrel. Top barrel dead on at 100 yards.
As I've said great carry gun BUT a bear to shoot. But the you are not shooting trap with it.
So, In the other thread he started on this subject, the OP stated He lives in IL, so my first suggestion of a BP 20ga Howdah is out. I then suggested a .223 Heizer PAR, but no response so far. I still think an AR pistol in a bigger caliber (at least .300 BO) would fit for his stated use of personal defense against rampant hogs.
When discussing these off the wall ideas, I assume that the OP has either the equipment and skill or the money and contacts to apply the recommendations he gets here. Legalities included.
