its the same as for an LBP/LBR. So long as it meets the 12/24 inch rule or 30/60cm for metric measure it is still a long arm.
not quite....
its the same as taking a ruger 10/22 down to its legal min length, rather than extending it up to some length. its a rifle, pure and simple
as for shooting it, its great fun, 7 38's in the tube and see how many rounds you can do one handed :) i find its easiest to drop down to cock, using thumb to work the lever, then open fingers round the bottom of the loop to close, back to eyeline and pop goes another smile
i am very pleased with it, wasnt sure at first, but not regretted it!
as mentioned, it is tube fed which is a bit of a downer, but its faster than gate loading actually

its a the real deal. 113 years old this year. bit of an old girl, but a thing of beauty. I have the original stock for it, but it had just started to crack, so i replaced it with a replacement from boyds. slightly different shape/profile, but it does the job.

I sort of meant to say that. Its all semantics and bo...cks. To me there is just long arms and shorts arms. No LBPs, LBR, they are long arms in the law and its tragedy and this circus goes on.

thanks :) its a rebuilt one from C&G, new unissued barrel, new unissued wood and a used action with an odd drilled hole in it...

LOL! I know, a part of me wishes i could put it in trench gun format if it was legal, but then it wouldn't fit in in the cowboy action setting (not that a purple win 92 does, but hey)
just wish i could use it more
i'll have to get the rest of the collection added.
btw, i missed this one from the original post, its the close up of the stock repair
