The only restrictions I'm aware of here in SC used to be "no revolving rifles".
. no caliber restrictions of any kind now, and don't think there was ever any ban on twice barreled guns.

Yep - most states mandate a single gun, ergo a 2-barrel gun is still a single gun.
 
Since I hunt ALL seasons with a flintlock anyway and never feel at a disadvantage during the general gun seasons, it's never been an issue for me. Other than a smoothbore I've never owned a muzzleloader with more than one barrel. Curiously, however, these laws concerning guns with only one shot, one projectile and then a reload technically renders single barrel smoothbores illegal. It's because one shot from a shotgun fire dozens of projectiles. Of course this isn't the intent of F&G, just a bizarre coincidence.
 
A guy I used to work with just carried two rifles to hunt from a stand. Oregon says a double barrel is OK but revolving actions are not legal. So I don't know if a swivel breech rifle is a double barrel or a revolver. Doesn't matter to me - I don't have either.
