Home made 410 shotgun
02/06/12 01:12 PM

I posted this on another web site so I thought I might post it here for all those struggling to build a gun.
I picked this up about 30 years ago from a gunshop that was going out of business as a conversation piece and its been hanging on my wall eversince. I have no history on it and the shop owner did not know where it came from. I consider it a piece of folk art, wonder what the RoadShow guys would say??
It is all made by hand laying up layers of sheet metal in both the receiver and barrel. Nothing I can find has been turned on a lathe. The barrel looks to have been made on different size mandrels shrunk together and pinned to the under lug. The barrel is wrapped full lenght with bailing wire, same stuff used to bail hay. The gun is chambered for a 2 1/2 410 and will fire (primers is all I have had the courage to use).
