In the second picture it's clear that the firearm you have manufactured is a rifle, which has a barrel length of less than 16 inches. I'm sure you filled out your form 1 and got ATF approval first, right?

Just kidding. That is actually really cool and looks to be well made, especially considering you made it out of stuff laying around. Good job and please post videos!

Just kidding, but seriously - we need video!

Is this your first historic firearm build? Can't wait to hear how it fires. Nice work.

I have built a lot of flintlocks lately I’ve been messing with the older stuff. I have a few gonnes, each slightly different. My goal is to make one of each firearm from the handgonne up to flintlocks. showing the development of early weapons. So far I have a single shot gonne, a hakenbuch which is a gonne with a proto stock, then I have a gonne with a trigger lever sort of the first matchlock, then this multi shot gonne. Next will be a matchlock with a serpentine trigger. I'll post some more photos of what I have made when I get home tomorrow.

That is the ultimate conceal carry weapon there. No one would have any idea what is was, people would just assume your a weird guy with a huge walking stick.

Depending on how much time and materials were put into it I think they might be a side project to earn a little extra cash. I know I'd buy one at the right price... For Hiking
