Just asking because it is a rifled barrel, and not a smooth bore....so I have no idea. It isuper bad cool though..

Nice one R

I really want one Lol, but I'm pretty sure I can't. I hate being stuck here in NJ.

Mare's leg is legal, so why not this?  It's not a SA handgun.

That was kind of what I was getting at. I believe it is classified as a handgun correct?

Why wouldn't it be legal? Works for me.

Correct, rifled barrels.

So because it is rifled and not a smooth bore it is OK? Is that the difference?

Would be a handgun in NJ. Can't see any reason it would be illegal.  Can't see a lot of use for it either but I'd buy one if I has spare change.

Correct no practical use but pretty damn cool.

I have a BFR in 30-30 and it is one of my favorite revolvers Lol.

Cabela's has been sellin' them for years.  They're available in many configurations, the most popular being smoothbore 20 ga. SxS.  As legal as buying a Cap & Ball revolver & driving it across the Delaware.  Lead shot, glass, rocks, nails, you can shoot it all  .

That's blackpowder though isn't it?

^^^Yep, it's a muzzleloader double barrel percussion.  Got its' name from the basket placed on top of elephants, "Howda".  Or as I like to refer to it, "Howda hell did I think this was a good idea?"  Because it doesn't fire fixed, manufactured ammunition, it's not classified as a sawed-off shotgun.  Federally legal in all 50 states.

This one is not a muzzleloader.

Curious if anyone actually has one of these and what you think of it?

Kind of tempted to get one in 410/45LC but seems too expensive to own and shoot...

They sure are cool looking. https://www.davide-pedersoli.com/en/products/pedersoli-howdah

The problem is shooting shotshells through this.  The rifling makes shot spread quick!!!

I tried shooting buckshot through a rifled barrel on my 870.  Effective range was maybe 5 yds.  Huge donut pattern.

I have the Taurus Judge, 45LC/.40 revolver.

Spread with shot shell is about 1" per foot of distance.  It's a lot of spread but less than I had expected when I bought it.

Since the gun being discussed here has a much longer barrel than my 3" revolver, I suspect the spread would be quite  a bit less.

The spread of shot is about the same regardless of barrel length.
