I would really like one but, there's the issue of ammo.
So can you find the ammo or make it shoot something that's available?

If a bent Egyptian grabbed a police gun, he was not going to be able to find 14 gauge shells. When the crooks figured out how to wrap a 16 gauge shell in tape, they went to the 12/14 ga shells with a groove around the primer and "horns" on the firing pin or breechblock. See #5 at

Which is yours? The straight 14 gauge with regular firing pin or the 12/14 with horns?
I could not find a source of loaded shells but Rocky Mountain makes all brass shells in 14 or 12/14. For about $3 each.

That should be a real nice addition to the collection.
Now if you plan on using it on a dove hunt in Argentina that may be a different issue.
