Something primal in me has always loved the Howdah pistol. Nothing says 'get off my lawn' better (metaphorically speaking) than a double short barreled 20 gauge.
Every year before and especially after deer season, armslist and other such sites are awash with like new and barely used cheap inline muzzleloaders. I'm thinking about picking up a matched pair and building a break action, double barrel, inline muzzleloading modern day version of a Howdah. I figure I can do this for less than $400.
Aside from what would be a wood pistol stock where I'd prefer synthetic, I think a double inline short .50 cal front stuffer would be just fun as heck.
I'm sure it'll drive the Howdah traditionalists up a wall.
Anyone ever attempted such a beast? I'm thinking it'll be a fun little project.
