Big Wonderful WyomingThere are quite a few of these contraptions made by various engineers and gunsmiths in Germany and Austria.
You don't see many over here, and often they are hard to explain.
Thanks for posting that.
A friend of mine has something similar made in Suhl, I forget the name now. It is a M98 5xshot bolt gun over a shotgun barrel which slides out to expose the breach. If you PM your email i can send you a pic of it.

44magLeoIn some European counties getting one gun is often all you get. Thus they build guns with more than one barrel.
Drillings come to mind. Two shotgun barrels side by side with a rifle barrel underneath.
The Blazer is another example. One receiver but can get many barrels for it.
Just the way tings work over there.

nopride2It would be fun to own, but not at the price it sold for.

In Germany I could own whatever I wanted for rifles and shotguns, but only 2 pistols or 3 pistols as long as one of them was a 22LR.
In Spain I could only own 5 rifles, 5 shotguns, 5 airguns or 22LRs, and 1 pistol. Every rifle barrel counted toward the 5 rifles at the time.
In Turkey I could own 1 rifle, pretty much unlimited shotguns and air rifles.
I know a ton of Swiss hunters, they have as many guns as they want. Austrians have limits, but they are pretty broad.
Never heard of a nation in Europe that individual rifle barrels didn't count as a rifle. Heard this example from tons of folks that use it as an explanation for European gun laws.
