I've noticed that the Howdah, which does come with a version with rifled barrels, AND a combination of one barrel rifled, one smoothbore, has a detachable should stock option.
The 1855 Springfield Pistol had a detachable shoulder stock, and I was thinking of maybe modifying a flintlock .58 Harper's Ferry Pistol repro to accept a detachable shoulder stock OR getting a Pedersoli Bounty (16" .50 cal barrel) and building a custom detachable shoulder stock...
Then I wondered if the DNR would then consider any of those a shoulder fired muzzle loader, and expect heavier loads in them just as the rifles are required to have....
The problem with my State (alright there are many) is that you can't get definitive answers from the DNR and they are not held liable (or you're not held harmless) if they give you bum-scoop.
