I just bought a second hand H&R Handi Rifle in 20ga, and it has a pretty short stock on it.
They are no longer made, but you might look around for one.
I throw this solidly at the feet of Martin O'Malley.
He disarmed all Marylanders, which completely enables rampant thug behavior like we've seen.
There's a reason why you don't see rioting in cities and states with strong Second Amendment support.
The thugs know they'd be shot.
I just love the additional challenge of a muzzleloader, and they come in all descriptions.
In Maryland you can hunt with a hand-cannon pistol, a traditional Hawkin, a CW musket, or a modern in-line. Whatever makes you happy!
They are being ridiculous to test your resolve.
They are trying to find out how badly you want to carry a gun.
If they can get you to quit the first time you apply, then they have an easy victory.
It's not right, but in Libby states like this...

I'm pondering this exact dilemma.
Looking hard at the Stoeger m3500 and Benelli SBE II.
The Stoeger uses the Benelli inertial semi-auto system. (I'm told).
The Stoeger is half the price.
I saw in the news recently that a Houston, TX marine foiled a home invasion by shooting the perp climbing in the window with a single round of #8-1/2 bird shot.
The perp took off and was not heard from again.
Didn't show up at a local hospital.
Kinda surprising, but there it is...
Good advice here.
My .22-cal springer destroyed a Simmonds 3-9 scope after about 50 shots.
I sent it back to them with a note.
They fixed it and said not to put it back on the air gun!
For patched round balls another way to guesstimate a MAXIMUM LOAD of black powder is to use half the weight of the ball as the volume charge of powder.
For example, a 50-cal lead ball weighs 178 grains. Call it 180. Half of that is 90 grains.
So the max powder charge is 90 grains by volume.
I...
Triple-7 2F is 20% more energetic by volume than Pyrodex RS or Goex 2F.
Triple-7 3F is 25% more energetic by volume and burns faster.
That's why I use T73F in the ML pistols.
I've heard that these work great, or not great, with not much in-between.
The Encore and Omega have the last inch of rifling drilled out of the bore (they call it the QLA) to facilitate sabot loading and also to help pull the sabot off the round when it fires. The QLA really screws up the...
Hey yourself! Yes, MDS and BCCIWLA member. Small world. :D
I think I did borrow somebody's hammer recently to pound a round down the bore of that thing! :party29: Maybe yours?
Yes, I remember that Zuoave mozzleloader. Very cool.
I have to get the bore on that pistol perfectly clean and...
This story is about a muzzleloader hunt in the Mt. Nebo Wildlife Management Area in Garrett County, in the mountains of Western Maryland on Thursday October 16th, 2014.
In the previous two weeks before hunting season I’d spent a few days at the range relearning how to shoot the White Rifles...
