I'm not the best at recognizing some weapons, the leg that Woodie has in Zombieland, what is it?

next question, whats needed to make that legal? I'm guessing AOW

It would be a short-barrel shotgun. If you're making it yourself, you'll have to go through the same process as getting an SBR.

it was not a shotgun, it was a 30-30 or the like lever caliber.

I have thought about this as well, as well I "think" that I can cut the bbl and stock off and sell it at a pistol.

Before I get into this I will have to call the ATF and have a chat with them about it, then get their answer in writing.

Edit: looking at it again, I am not too sure what it is. I will have to see the move again. From the pictures it looks like it has enough "stock" that it will have to be an SBR or SBS. and AOW can not have a stock.

This gun is simply a lever-action rifle chambered for .44-40 or .45 Colt rounds that has suffered an extreme circumcision. Despite its reduced size, the Mare’s Leg still has all the zombie-killing power you could possibly need.
Advantages: Uses thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes.
Disadvantages: Ammo is uncommon outside of big-mustache country.
Tips: If your horse breaks her leg, you’ve got a spare.

None of those are american...

Looks like Legacy International makes them.... I have them in stock :grinpimp:

$1250 shipped in 44-40

saw one the other day in .45 Colt. It had a tag on it saying it was NOT class 3, just a regular pistol.

I'd love to have one.... but no way I could ever justify it! However... a SBS coach gun... I would rock the living piss out of! Maybe even cut the stock off desperado style?

fixed that part for you. :laughing:

Here is the hilarious part about it... The minute it touches your shoulder while firing, you break the law :laughing:

it didn't seem like the stock was long enough to shoulder fire :confused:

That's the idea, but I guarantee most people who buy that are going to try it.

Even the reviewer (aka total fucking tool) here is giving it a shot....

Thats what I thought but wasnt sure. I definitely knew it wasnt a shotgun ;)
Heres the wiki link for the mare's leg -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mare%27s_Leg It also appears that jbcustoms mfrs some http://www.jbcustom.com/page79.html with a 357 in the works.

but for $1300 im going to stick to the AR for killing zombies, or maybe I'll toss in an extra $600 for a kriss.

from wiki

The Mare’s Leg (aka Mare’s Laig; both sometimes spelled without the apostrophe) was the name given to a customized shortened rifle by Steve McQueen’s character on the television series Wanted: Dead or Alive (1958–1961). McQueen’s character was named Josh Randall, and the gun has also been referred to as a Winchester Randall, or a Randall Special.

The original Mare’s Leg was made by cutting down a .44-40 caliber Winchester Model 1892 rifle to a size that could be worn in a large leg holster and used with one hand. The barrel was cut down to a length of twelve (or possibly nine) inches,[1] and much of the butt-stock was removed. For filming three guns were actually made, each with an enlarged loop on the cocking lever. The first gun differed in the size of its lever enlargement, and the last gun had an octagonal barrel instead of a round one. The actual gun being used could sometimes change from shot to shot in a given scene. While the guns were chambered for the .44-40 round, McQueen wore more impressive looking .45-70 rounds in the loops of his gun belt.

In the United States, under the National Firearms Act, to cut any weapon originally built as a rifle to a barrel length less than 16 inches one must pay a $200 tax and obtain approval from the BATFE.[2] However, such a permit is not required to make an exact copy from scratch as a “lever action pistol”.[3]

The JBs are 1600. Octagon barrel, take down model. Nicer finish then the Puma's IMO.

Just saying there are two different versions available.

Ha ha. About right.
1. H&K MP-7

The Heckler & Koch MP7 is a German-made submachine gun. Designed as a “personal defense weapon,” this gun proves that a high rate of fire combined with small bullets is about as helpful as a razor blade in a sword fight.
Advantages: High rate of fire, large ammo capacity.
Disadvantages: This gun’s small bullets are pretty much only good for livening up things at parties, weddings or any other event where you don’t want anyone to get hurt.
Tips: You’re hunting zombies, not goldfish. Get something that spits out bigger bullets.

FWIW,

This is the one I'm familar with... in .38-40 (originally)

A video clip about 1/2 way down the page does a decent job of "how to/whats it worth"...

http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2009/09/02/jb-custom-mares-leg-pistol-video-review/

Personally I'd steer clear of the .44-40. Cases are a little annoying to reload due to the neck wall thickness.

On edit: And once again the old guy repeats diatribe in a month+ old thread...:shaking::homer: :D

I hate you :flipoff2:

.44 Mag would be a better caliber :flipoff2: :laughing:

.45-70 would be a better caliber :flipoff2: :laughing:

Fixed

Fixed

Fuck that! I ain't shooting that out of a handcannon :laughing: :eek:

I so want one of these in a .44 mag. 45-70 would be sick too, but I think .44 would be prime

I hate you :flipoff2:

.44 Mag would be a better caliber :flipoff2: :laughing:

true, but not as authentic which is kind of the whole point.
I am thinking of getting a Wild West conversion in .50 Alaskan, stainless, takedown, etc. which would be a lot more practical but would never have the same character as the Mare's Laig.
