Right I have another question.

Revolving shotgun?

I was looking around and saw a beautiful revolving shotgun a .410ga if I remember correctly. My friend said it might not be a good idea and I do agree with him but they just look so nice. So I want to get other people's opinions.

Probably not super for hunting (not sure the legality of a 6 round revolver when you are only allowed 2 in the magazine), probably not super for trap shooting. But it sure would be fun, and a real conversation starter!

I saw a .410 lever gun. If I recall, it was a modern reproduction of a Winchester '94

Since when was 2 shell max a thing? That's news to then again I am on the east coast. So it might be a Provincial thing.

For migratory birds it is a North American wide rule. Most provinces have this same rule for all bird hunting. It has been that way for decades.

Ah ok. I am leaning more towards sport shooting so would that still apply?

Legally it would be fine. Practically, reloading a revolving shotgun is going to be slower than a tube magazine. It may be worth it just for the looks you get though.
