Two points spring to mind. Over here the police frown very heavilly on a firearm baing carried with bolt in position. It has to be carried seperate, as in a sheath on your belt. Secondly ,again over here ,he shotgun breaks in two to put the cartridges directly into the barrel. This is done by pushing a lever that runs along the top of the cun, to one side to open the gun. Autos, you just put the cartridges into the gun through a slot in the side.

Never heard of a shotgun with a bolt before. It must be something peculiar to the States.

The Benelli Riot gun is a semi automatic and looks similar to the picture below but does not sound like it has the pistol grip.

Automatic shotguns have a bolt. It's the bit that goes back and forth inside.

There is no requirement to carry the gun with bolt removed, just plod legislating from their own sense of entitlement.

To my friend across the pond. The bolt handle, or charging handle is the piece that sticks out of the bolt. The part you grab onto to pull the bolt back and load the chamber.

There are a lot of names for it depending on manufacturer, region where one lives etc.... However it isn't to be confused with the type of bolt handle on a bolt cation rifle. They perform the same function but look and operate differently.

I understand the carry/transport requirements where you live. We have area's here in the States, that are much the same. However here in Alaska many people carry both handguns and rifles/shotguns openly. It is not uncommon to see people walking downtown carrying firearms (myself included, at times).

This scabbard is intended to be lashed (strapped in this case), to the wing struts of the customers airplane. Since his cabin is basically accessible only by plane. It (the plane) is small, so he lashes some gear to the wing struts.

This particular shotgun is indeed a semi automatic, in riotgun configuration. A short 20" (or so) barrel with full magazine tube (7 rounds I think), with aperture rear sight.. basically rifle sights.. This shotgun is intended as bear protection as we have a fair number of large brown bear up here. Although it seems the black bear tend to be the more destructive to ones property.

So security is very important!

I have the pattern cut. Slightly over size.. I hope!!.... and dyed, as I'm using a heavy white nylon thread. I'm going to dress it up a litle it, but it is going to get pretty beat up pretty quick.. So sturdy is the main theme..

I will posts when I an...

Thanks much all and regards...
