The Ultimate Silly Shotgun

I've actually been made a serious offer to sel this thing, to an ARFCOM member, here in TN, for $200.

Can you say SOLD? (I have about $170 into it, with Fed. Excise Tax included.)
 
I've gotta say that I've seen a few singles over the years that have been modified.

I recall one 10 gauge that had the barrel chopped to 18", painted camo and with a shell holder on the sling. Shop selling it said it had been fired once.

Dave, was this in MD? What shop? My uncle built a 10 gauge EXACTLY like that, did it have a set of fiber optic sights on it? A customer wanted it as a turkey gun. He put an extra full choke in it also. Said the shot and wad came out slug like. He fired it to test fire it, and ended up with a cut on his hand. I could only guess the customer sold it after ending up the same way. I thought it looked like a M79 when you opened it.
 
I would call it, "The Tactical Death Touch". Something that will instill fear. I once made a tactical Red Rider BB gun by putting a scope, a vertical foregrip and a sling on it. Yeah, that really impressed all the neighborhood girls :evil:

Wow, so its going to have a 100% tax!

(and to think, at one time we killed a bunch of redcoats over a 2% tax on tea :banghead: )

I figure, it's his money to do with as he pleases. Besides, think of it this way: it's really only $400. In the grand scheme of things, that's not really a LOT of money. Well, maybe for a single-shot shotgun it is, but oh well. Think of all the fun he'll have and strange looks he'll get at the range. lol
 
Call me odd, but really do see a practical use. Think of it mounted to the side of a pack frame for use in deep backwoods camping/hiking. User would have a side saddle with some heavy buck for predator defence, some light shot for food forraging, and some flares for "I am lost come find me" signals.

Nothing I would want to shoot often, but could be handy for a lightweight, handy survival gun.

As for a name, RMSG (Rocky Mountian Survival Gun)

Were you to do another, I would seriously consider buying it, even with the $200.00 tax.
 
ID,

If I were to build another, I'd have to work out the cost. This particular one was built using a used shotgun and a stock set that had been laying around for a year or more. I don't know what the components will cost new. Add to that the Fed. Excise Tax, and the cost of labor.
 
Coming in late, but that is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. I have 3 pardners, one in 20ga and 2 in .410 and I was thinking of doing something to the extra .410........
 
Slimjim, it was The Gun Locker, now defunct, near Ellicott City. This was maybeso 20 years ago.

This did look like a M79.

If I had a 10 gauge NEF to play with, I'd probably load up some 1 1/4 oz loads in 2 7/8" cases and go for a really tight, hot core pattern. Say 2s for vermin, 5s for turkey. A 12 would be closer to optimum.

We need the "shifty eyes" smiley...
 
I would love to have something like this in 357 with a threaded barrel and a suppressor. But the NEF frame is really too big for just a 357mag, where a Snake Charmer II frame, or an old H&R 410 single, which are smaller would be great.

I wonder what a 45cal suppressor would do with a 410 shotgun????
 
Ok, so I see you pic and an old TV theme song starts playing through my head.

"Johnny Yuma
The Rebel
He roams through the west"

Anybody remember that show? He had thet neat little sawed off double barrel shotgun that usually rang out to settle the issue towards end of each episode.
 
IIRC, that Yuma gun was an Ithaca Auto Burglar in 20 gauge.

OTOH, the sawed off toted by Yancey Derringer's pal Pahoo was a generic SxS. It too settled lots of hash prior to the credits rolling...
 
It's too bad no manufacturers make SxS shotguns "cruiser" style for the sole purpose of AOW conversions.

and could you even do that, say get a turkish company to make like 12 of em and would they pass the sporting purpose nonsense, or could they just ship the reciever and barrels and have them finished by another company without a stock, then converted to AOW? I remember a company did something like that with lever action pistol recievers so they could make them into mares legs.

If I were to pay the $200 tax it would be a SBR like a P90 or maybe something smaller. Too bad I was too young in '86,
