That action does look very old school! Definitely an unusual piece...

They are a nice, well made action strongly based on the Sharps but with a quite different firing mechanism.. Here is my Brazilian M1873 Carbine still in 11x50R, Your shotgun, bentaz, is also made from a Brazilian model, Cheers

G'day bentaz,
I have only made 2 cases for this, but with a hand tool I can assemble cartridges "on site". A bit fiddly but I can get a few shots off now and then. Haven't shot it for a couple of years, now you woke it up I may have to send another couple down range soon!

The weirder the better! Good score!
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.
