This is an old topic I know but it came up in a google search that I did. I am new to this forum and this my first post here.
I read recently in the Backwoodsman mag about how to make one of these. I liked the idea because these rifles are very cheap, not much over $100 and you can keep it legal by maintaining 16" in length. (or is it 18" ?)
I was thing of griping it right handed and maybe rotating the wrist to work the bolt with my left hand. I guess much of the powder gets sent out the barrel end at this short length, (and probably pretty cool to see it fired at night.)
Anyway, I just thought it might be a unique and cool inexpensive camp gun if nothing else.
Regards-
The minimum is 16" length for the barrel and 26" for the whole gun to be a legal rifle. In my silly state it would need a pistol registration because it's less than 30".
