The mechanics of it have been well known for over 150 years. The vast majority of us, myself included, would never do so simply because getting caught would mean losing our freedom, our money, and our shop. There is no magic involved in making a gun, aside from a bit of mathematics and a little simple physics. @Carl,

First off, there appears to be no cylinder release or crane. It's possible that the [yeah, 5-shot] cylinder drops out for reloading, and the release is on the 'wrong' side. However, the length of those chambers appear to just be long enough to fit the shells but [unlike brass cases] a shotgun shell's petals will unfold outward and would extend aout half an inch into the barrel - - jamming the rotation. It's a single shot. Made to fool. The thing’s a fake.

You would not want the front handle to be on the barrel at all. That would put your forearm next to the barrel cylinder gap. At the very least you'd end up with a nasty burn, or the high pressure gas and flame could cut into your arm right where lots of important things are. Did you guys see the pic going around of the guy who almost cut his thumb off with a S&W 460? He had his off hand cradleing the bottom of the frame with his thumb next to the end of the cylinder. It nearly took his thumb off at the last knuckle and was only attached by a piece of skin. With the discoloration on the outside of the gun, it looks like he probably shot it quite abit. I would imagine the recoil could be abit brutal. I wonder if it was single or double action? The Aguila shorty shells would probably make it less painful to shoot, or load it with slugs for a modern Howdah. I'd want to shoot it atleast once. :) The guy was probably a very talented machineist with access to CNC machines and worked on his project after hours or whatever.

And Steve Doran, I wouldn't want my hand anywhere near that muzzle. I wonder what the rail is for. Red dot? hardly seems practical with those egonomics and short barrel.

But really. If you put a Redhawk grip on it, smoothed out the frame, maybe put some nice looking wood under a thicker barrel, and took off the vg, it'd be sweet! I’ll take two!!!

Where does the cylinder and the frame come from? My first guess would be a revolver type shotgun, but the frame looks way too bulky for a marketable product. Yet the parts look as though they have a pretty good surface treatment and finish. If anyone built this from scratch they should be given a medal and a permission to start a firearms manufacture, not jail time and have their stuff confiscated. I don’t get this.
