Of course it's not very useful for much, but probably quite fun




*note that under current Act definitions there is no such thing as a "standard firearm" but this gun doesn't fall into any of the defined categories of pistol, prohibited, restricted, etc

I feel conflicted by this gun.

You are 100% correct. Still like the revolver rifles that seem ready made for alteration, it's a sign of immaturity and greed on the importers part that these are brought in. There is no hunting use and no sport I know of that this is an advantage for, and likely the greatest purchase reason for such will be illegal use.

Just because we can, Is not a great reason for doing so.

As much as I don't like to say it - something like this would have been handy when I was having to do the odd night cleaning rabbits up off the back of a modified buggy. We were using semi shotguns at that stage, with the usual shoulder butt stock arrangement and the butt section tended to get in the way when travelling along the station roads and tracks that had water drains on either side. The rabbits would dig into the side of the drains and if you let them get away they would eventually cause the drain wall to collapse. It was a pain in the arse shooting them, had to be very quick and careful as they sat in the grassy crud on the edge of the tracks and let you get right on them before they broke. The standard shotguns were cumbersome to use for that job, but we did it with them.

definitely not cheap considering half of it is missing

One bolt and its a full size normal mossberg. I use a magpul SGA stock on mine if i'm using it somewhere it would be frowned upon in shockwave form!
