Since Stoeger Coach guns are sold in the uk, has anyone ever (just asking out curiosity) tried to make an Evil dead inspired Boomstick?
I got wondering about whether that and his chainsaw are practical combo for taking on all the evil that hell can throw in new zealand done up to look like a US state (they get breaks to film there, so why not).

I used to have a lovely Baikal 12 bore side by side hammer gun with 16" or 18" barrels ( i forget which )
I regret selling it.

I've been told that they are hard to get in new.
A&A told me at the start of the year that he can't get them in.
spoke to a couple of other places , some said no. some, like C&G said of course we can get it, but you do realise that the import costs will probably make it too expensive to bother - £1500-2000 all in

Isn't the problem that 'coach guns' are section 1 and only granted to those who do cowboy action shooting and so forth? I recall seeing a review of the Pedersoli coach gun which was well liked, less than a grand but hard to find an actual, practical use for...

So might as well find a donor sxs and have it cut to required length, with paperwork amendment?

you aren't allowed to cut s2 barrels and make s1 are you?
and you aren't allowed to shorten s2 barrels significantly unless damaged
sure i saw that somewhere??
yes, coach guns are S1, so you would have to have a 'need' but I do CAS :P

If you're allowed to have an RFD fit a magazine tube to take your S2 shotgun to a ten-shot S1, why not the above?
Would make for a jolly cheap coach gun as lovely English side-by-sides can be had for buttons used...

hmmm, i can't find anything to back up that claim, so I may be talking manure....
it seems you can shorten to not less than 24".
I can't find anything about taking it from sec2 to 1 by barrel length. I am positive I was told by an RFD that they could not shorten past 24" even if I had a sec1 slot free. but they may have not known the law fully.
