Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 What gauge are the barrels? Based on the language in the Shooter's Handbook the Shotgun is a side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderRiverCowboy Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Show me in the rulebook that says its not legal It is better to ask forgiveness than permission . Use it and when questioned ask to show where it isnt allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantry Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Looks European, but not English. Biggest chamber might be a 4 bore with the other four being a 12 bore. The 4 bore is for the really, really difficult knockdowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vail Vigilante Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Are we sure it isnt a old African-class rifle? At lease part of it? Its out of focus, but the sights look more rifle-ish that a shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Looks like the perfect answer for elephant, cape buff, and big cats. Wouldn't be too shabby on the big bears, either. Probably heavy enough that recoil wouldn't bother anyone much, but fallen arches could be a concern. I'd take one if I could get it for under $250.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Ask around about a cowboy named Gunzilla sometime. His quadbarrel shotgun was disallowed from what I understand. Cool gun in the original pic, I probably couldn't afford ammo for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Those who think the SHB verbiage somehow allows this must have taken "The Evelyn Woodhead Sped-ridden Course". Gunzilla's quad-barrel was made using a pair of O/U shotguns (at least the one that I recall from a long ago EoT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Actually, no advantage at all. If memory serves (no, I didn't look it up), for CAS, we're only allowed to load TWO regardless of the type of gun. No advantage. I also suspect lugging it around would give one a real high squeaky voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Met Gunzilla at 2004 EOT, the last EOT in CA. I know there has to be pictures of him somewhere on the internet. He was a "One and Only" and I don't think there will ever be anyone like him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Ok a seach came up with a SASS thread that referenced this site. Lots of photos of Gunzilla and his many costumes. Gunzilla (akagunzilla.com) He is a one of a kind, and could really shoot well when not hamming it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably NOT legal, but I would not object to it. And IF you happened to get one of these very rare, "shotguns may be stoked on the clock" stages, load it up and go to town! Looks like every barrel is a different gauge. What are they? Is it is safe for smokeless? Is it for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
