What sort of gun are you thinking about here?
Are you thinking about a big game gun. an Indian or cape gun, or a wall gun that’s more of a swivel type?

Feltwad is right as ever on this topic .I made a 8 bore barrel thinking' duck gun' but limit in NZ is like Canada 10 bore . But itle come in. Ive had it since 1970( dos'nt eat much grass) .Likley end up as a' Dragon' or Ammusette .Couple of blunderbusses maybe .
Nothing stopping you making one just not harvesting duck with one . Ducks would doubtless agree .

I have a very scaled down version of what "might" have been a small punt gun. I wanted the style but to be able to handle it. We put a 72" barrel in 20 GA on it, full stock and flintlock. Had to rebuild a lock to the proper scale. Got it down to 11 #. Still impressive to look at.
