First off, I understand that in doing this, it will require ATF approval and a $200.00 tax stamp...I am an FFL and a Class III holder and I do know how to do this! Right, I have always been a fan of the Howdah concept and thought it would be fun to put a modern spin on one. I sold a couple of guns of late and have a little "fun money" burning a hole in my pocket...I had an idea: What if I had a Howdah pistol built off of one of those Pedersoli Kodiak hammer guns in 45/70's. *I would need the stock cut down into a pistol grip and the barrel lopped off to a rather short size. I could sure use some advice on this project and would not object if someone talked me out of it!!! *I also had a thought of doing one on a test run basis on the Pedersoli muzzle loader double (would be much cheaper and you don't have to have ATF approval!). Thoughts from the Board?

Here is what the rifle looks like: http://www.rbsiii.com/collection/rifles/pedersoli_45_70/pedersoli_45_70.htm
