I say a take down 30-30/12 g over and under with 20” barrel. Singe shot 30-30 can be loaded stiff with 150 gr Nosler Partition and the 12 g can be slug, buck or bird shot w/ threaded chokes.

Savage (I think) used to make one without the take down and threaded choke. Someone should again.

You missed the point, he did nothing illegal and he called and confirmed with the State police beforehand and yet he was still convicted.

I've got a Taurus 4410 that's not too loud and I fire it alot both with .410 and .45LC.
It's a good weapon.

Another possiblilty, IMO, would be the savage model 24 over & under in 20 gauge and 22 LR. It breaks down into a small package and you could look around for a synthetic stock and foregrip.

That's close. If the innards are faithful to the original HK, it'd be reliable too.

I wondered about one of these. Seems cobbled together, but this guy seems ecstatic:

My Saiga takes AR-Mags

If it works, this would be PERFECT.

I got that.
New Jersey should vote everyone involved with that conviction out of office.
But they were still HAND GUNS, not rifles.

I've looked for something similar to that, and can remember in the 1970's, seeing several like you describe.
But those combos are hard to come by now.

Looks like hiking the Appalachian Trail with any type of firearm is all but impossible to do and stay legal. :

New Firearm Regulations for the National Park Service

As of February 22, 2010, a new federal law allows people who can legally possess firearms under applicable federal, state, and local laws, to legally possess firearms on portions of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.

This applies to:

This only applies to lands owned by the U.S. Government and managed by the National Park Service, Appalachian Trail Park Office. This includes 428 miles of trail, 25 % of the trail’s length in 9 of the 14 trail states.

This does not apply to:

This does not apply to the Appalachian Trail located on lands owned and managed by the more than 90 other federal, state and local agencies. This includes 1747 miles of trail, 80 % of the trails length across all 14 states. Rules and regulations on these lands are determined by the individual agencies.

Please note:

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail, a unit of the national park system, is administered by the National Park Service, Appalachian Trail Park Office. The Appalachian Trail spans 2,179 miles across lands administered by 6 other national parks, 8 National Forests, 1 National Wildlife Refuge, and 75 other federal, state, and local agencies. Each one of these agencies has their own rules and regulations which contributes to the complexity of legally carrying a firearm on the Appalachian Trail.

It is the responsibility of visitors to understand and comply with all applicable state, local, and federal firearms laws before visiting the Appalachian Trail.

What has not changed:

The use of weapons are still prohibited on Appalachian Trail National Park Service lands

Hunting is still prohibited on Appalachian Trail National Park Service lands

Firearms are still prohibited inside National Park Service federal facilities

What's the pattern like at say 20 steps? :) The rifled barrel isn't going to give you much squirrel killing capability in a tall tree.

I make and shoot shot shells in my 45 colt revolvers. They're great for snakes at less than five steps but worthless after that. I figure the 410 down a rifled barrel isn't going to be much better, though I have no experience with one.

Shame that. I know there was a 30-39/12 g with very nice wood. Expensive but good if you could only have one gun.

We still need to change those laws and RE-ENFORCE the Second Amendment.

...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

That law is definitely an INFRINGEMENT

Any shotgun is about barrel length.
At 20 paces the number 7 is probably about a 6 foot diameter on a long barrel, and on a three inch barrel, it's about 12 feet.
To do any damage with number 7 shot, you've got to be within 20 feet.

Kel Tec SUB 2000 in 40 cal Glock configuration. Folds to 16 inches, packs a real punch with a 16 inch barrel pushing 40 cal ammo. Mags can be in 15 to 32 count, insert into the pistol grip and can be folded with the loaded mag in place.

You are absolutely correct. Yet, how many of those law makers held up their hand and swore to support and defend the Constitution?

If you want handy and light, 5 lbs, cheap, $150, 12 gauge. You can bring bird shot, buckshot, and slugs. If it's just to have for emergencies, it'll do.
