New concept

[a4beltfed2000]

Just wondering if this might be a reasonable concept for say a 410/45 LC or one of the pistol cart. calibers. Heck after a couple of beers maybe the ole 45/70

[quickdtoo]

As long as it has a minimum overall length of 26" and a barrel that's at least 18" for a shotgun or 16" for any rifle/pistol chambering, it would be legal I think, being practical is another matter tho.

in the 45/70 application, you need to port the barrel for muzzle flip
if you buy factory ammo. or use reduced loads when handload'n.
 thats jus my onion.....
HECK... not jus a few beers....alotofvum.......

I dunno I fired one of the 45/70 derringers a few years back and that was sporting to say the least

I was thinking that it might make for a interesting conversation piece.....

can you say 12 ga 3 inch slugs.......
we did a M2 hb 50 cal beltfed with a 22 inch barrel. If you could get the marshmellows to stay you could have roasted them. It fit right in with my 1919a4 with a 9 inch barrel

I shot with a friend on a pistol league about 15+ yrs ago. He bought one of those for his 10" Contender 45 L.C. He shot quite a bit better with it. The guys running the show said it was unfair to the others and he had to stop using it. I think he stuck his hand through it and didn't hold it on the back like that with the other hand. I think you would want to use it for a pistol.

After a couple more beers you might try it in 45-70. Maybe a revolver?
You may want a healthy wrist band though.

No thanks..................

I shot a full cylinder out of a Freedom Arms 454 once. Can't say it was fun or enjoyable in any way.

I have one of the American Derringer Corp's in 45lc/410. It's not bad. I use 444 cases with bore sized buckshot squashed flat so I can stack them in the case..

It is a 5 yard gun otherwise.
