Homemade 12 Gauge Revolver Shotgun
Updated: January 9th, 2013
Over at EveryDayNoDayOff there is a discussion about this gigantic 12 gauge revolver confiscated from a Taiwanese man.
Picatinny rail on top … nice touch!
“Made in USA” … yea right!

I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

@Carl,
Something like this would be fairly easy for any good machinist to make, a good lathe and a milling machine being the only machine tools required. 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.
Holy balls, that's the ugliest revolver I have ever seen. And that's saying a lot.
