A new use for the .410 Judge and S&W Governor

[BGDave]

Because no rifling=shotgun to the government. So a non rifled judge or governor would be a short barrel shotgun.

Close, it would transfer as a AOW (any other weapon) on a form 4 for $5. A 12 gauge pistol rifled would be greater than 1/2 inch and be considered a destructive device. Like a hand grenade. And yes, there are some registered. They take all the fun out of blowing stuff up.

Close, it was a 28ga.

Thought sure it was 12 ga.
Regardless, I still want one.

 

[Mgderf]

My brain hurts.

Sorry, that was NOT my idea, or intention.
The rest of the letter was MUCH worse.

Close, it was a 28ga.

That would be a lot more controllable and it wouldn't break the wrist when firing a slug like a 12 gauge.

any answers on how this applies to my Cobray Leinad derringer question?

 

[BGDave]

Your barrels are rifled. We used to shoot 45 Colt out of single shot .410 shotguns. DISCLAIMER-----probably not to smart. EDIT to add; some of them might not have been rifled. I think the kits were not. Don't need to add that once assembled they are an AOW. And as such, taxable. I've seen several kit guns for sale at gun shows. Personally, I don't care for cold coffee and truth serum oatmeal.

Bond Arms 45/410 3" barrel is a fine mini-blaster.

Away around this could be micro groove rifling what do you think?

 

[BGDave]

Believe it or not, some black powder rifles had "scratch" rifling.

I had a Sterling .22 pistol (POS BTW) that had the shallowest rifling I've ever seen in my life. After 10 or 20 shots you would swear that thing was a smooth bore. Effective range was the length of your arm plus the length of the barrel.

The first time I saw polygonal rifling I thought the barrel had been "shot out".
Once I learned what it was, and how it can perform, I love it.

Same here. It was a CZ 82 and it really does look like a smooth bore. It sure does the trick though!

Not a smooth bore but other NFA rules may apply.

Does that come in a double-barrel configuration?

Is the recoil manageable?

It looks like that mount may have taken a few "hornet stings"

No but the full auto and proximity fuses kinda make up for the barrel deficit.

I guess if you can carry it, recoil should not be a problem.

That he's back to the 60s when the cops wanted a way to match a gun to a bullet for prosecution of a suspect.
