That's definitely an interesting gun, I've seen similar in a 9mm version called a garden gun, a relic from the days when you could dish out some medicine to pest birds in a suburban garden.
Hello 280rem,
Thanks for the reply.

Appear to be shortened .44 mag cases, so I suspect it's chambered for the .44 SPL or .44 Russian?
Neat gun to have.
Hello Daryl_S,
Thanks for the reply.
I use 44-40 cases loaded with a paper shot capsule that I make myself. Paper is wrapped around the steel mandrel shown in the cartridge box to make a shot capsule, then filled with 200g of 7-1/2 shot.
Very good results!
