They sure sound like it, and they come in different calibers to boot.

Nice article. I like them funny looking guns. Never new that they could be stored in the stock. Thanks for sharing.

Buddy has two, both a .30 and a “Red 9“.

They are really fun to shoot; the .30 is astonishingly accurate for a 120 year old gun (I believe his was made in 1900).
