There's no black powder or muzzleloader section here, so allow me to blather ideas to see who else might be interested.
No company currently makes a BP smoothbore revolver shotgun, which sucks because if they did we wouldn't have to deal with the NFA meaning we could have a 10 inch barrel revolver shotgun with a buttstock on it for a small, light, compact blaster. My idea is a modernized one with a double action/single action trigger, swing out cylinder with a quick change ability for faster reloads or to swap between bird, buck, and slugs, is 209 primer so there's no cap jams, detachable/removable stock if you want to carry it like a big pistol, optics mount, rails for a light, etc. Obviously it would have the blast shields that the Rossi Circuit Judge uses to protect the shooter's arms from hot gases from the gap.
Obviously the MA compliant model would be wood with a picture of Maura on the side that says, "NOT A WEAPON OF WAR."
Since it's a revolver design, the smaller the bore, the more chambers in each cylinder meaning a 5 shot 10 gauge could fit 7 or 8 shots of 28ga. Multiple barrel length options, from 6 inches to 26 inches, multiple bore options, no background check needed, mail order right to your house or walk out of Cabela's/Bass Pro without having to even show a photo ID.
My interest is largely getting around the SBS classification, but also a muzzleloader that holds a decent number of shots and has a fairly fast reload speed and a fast and easy rate of fire that doesn't require a complex action. The benefit of a revolver with the power of a shotgun and the speed reload of a detachable magazine... sounds like a winning combination.
