    Absolutely LOVED your reaction when you shot the Martini-Henry with the Morris tube. I understand completely, having shot other cartridge conversion guns... particularly to .22LR in handguns.
    Bill's shotgun is absolutely MAGNIFICENT! I would happily sacrifice a testicle for such a gun... but I reasonably expect that would be insufficient!

    to add to the old man with the Lancaster rifled Greene bolt action, it is true that Russian Laws classify the Lancaster rifling as a shotgun. you have to own a shotgun for 5 years before you can get a rifle, so with Lancaster rifled guns you can have the added benefit of accuracy without egregious bureaucratic red tape. I've shot some of my friends .366 tkm guns and the accuracy is pretty good out to 200 or so yards.

    It works, but I can see why it was never adopted. The weird manual of arms that can create a mess when soldiers are under pressure.
    Add in that it was likely somewhat expensive and it wouldn't be on the market long before centerfire cartridges took over.
