I thought I might as well share the beginnings of my 1740 project. I got this idea a long time ago while playing Doom, or Duke Nukem, or one of those horribly cheesy gut-blaster shooting games. I thought to myself, "Could it be possible to have a double barrel pump action gun?"
Skip ahead a few years and here I am with the guns, the materials, the knowledge, and the great help and support from a great firearm enthusiast out at my church. After purchasing a used right-handed 870 and a new left-handed 870 from Bud's gun shop online, I was ready to start brainstorming.

Maybe for fun, but looks like wasted effort to me.

I think it looks like a nifty DIY project. I got some gear to start my own home brew hobby this weekend. Sure it's a large initial investment and a lot of waiting when I could just go down to the corner store and pick up a six pack. Unfortunately you can't buy pride and enjoyment of an accomplishment.

It's a double trigger like your traditional side-by-side.

Does this fall under the heading of "Hold my beer and watch this"?
Happy shootin'
