z Sold “Stand and Deliver” HIDEOUT 12 gauge shotgun

Black Bart's HOLDUP SHOTGUN. I can just imagine Black Bart standing at the top of a steep grade waiting for the stagecoach between Deaddog and Gila. As the coach reaches the crest of the hill he orders ”Throw down the box”.  Or maybe the bartender in the Longbranch using this to tame drunken cowhands. The bartender in frontier saloons was like the captain of a ship he has the power set the rules of the saloon and the responsibility to enforces them.  All Old bar dogs liked, these cut down shotguns for their quick action in tight quarters and were most often used as a club rather than a firearm. Both uses would provide equal devastation. Others liked them for their ability to be easily hid under a coat. I must admit this piece does appeal to the scoundrels of the day. Yes, it is legal to own. As a shotgun it has an 18inch barrel length restriction and that is what this one is. Perfect for a re-enactor. "OR" You could hang it in your old time saloon or Old West room. It is sure to be a great conversation starter. Looks like the one under the Faro table in the movie Tombstone. The locks both work perfectly. The stock has been cut down with a swivel and a old leather strap to hang across your body added. The overall length of this 12 gauge is a compact 27 inches.
