There is one on the shelf of my local gun. It actually has a cheap scope with the see-thru mounts on it. Apparently someone thought it would make a great deer rifle (slug gun ?), then traded it in when they changed the law in Indiana to allow pistol caliber rifles for deer. They want over $600 for this rig so I quess they think it is collectible.
This is a great little "fun" gun. I got one on impluse when they first came out. Both my grandsons enjoyed shooting it when they were little as the isn't much recoil. I'm not much of a shot gunner myself, but I needed an excuse to shoot it, so I started loading it with round balls to shoot at my steel plates. Lots of fun! I use a 410 dia ball without the plastic wad or a 375 ball ( or 2) with the plastic shot cup. Can anyone tell me why no one is willing to make a mould to cast slugs for the 410. Lyman used to make them but stopped. You see them occasionally for sale on Ebay and they go for close to $200, so there must be a need. I suspect that someone blew up a fine old double gun and the lawyers got involved, and that was that.
Nath, Never did put it on the bench to measure the group.figured it wouldn't be too impressive; but it does shoot better than I expected. At thirty yards, I can hit a 8'' steel plate with every shot, off hand.
It took me quite a bit of time to get everything just right with the wads. For the .375 ball I put some 38 caliber wads in the bottom of the shot cup. For the .410 ball, I cut the pedels off the shot cup and put some 410 felt wads over the shot cup and under the ball. Both got over shot cards and a roll crimp. there was a litle buldge with the 410, but it chambered OK. I was not worried about the bulge because the ball would roll down the barrel with no pressure applied. This is for my win 9410; I woulldn't try it in an older gun, especially with a tight choke.

Winchester makes some 2&1/2 inch 1/5 oz slugs(1830 FPS)five to a box.
I use them in my Marlin lever Mod 410,I'm saving it for my grandson.
No doubt they were priced too high off the get-go,and everybody really expected a 3 inch shell.
So yes they will just go up in price and get harder to find.
I'd like one myself.
