More fun than should be allowed by law!
Yes, I have one, and it is just a blast.

Years ago I was able to test out a friend's Remington 572 Fieldmaster smooth bore 22.
It definitely shot a better pattern with the crimped shotshells (Federal?) vs the CCI.
Spent an hour of so reducing the wood bee population off a neighbor's wood deck. If only those crimped 22 shotshells were reasonably priced!

Love mine, it does a great job at the .22 spot shoots. Won me a box of pork chops last week.

Interesting. I didn’t even know something like this even existed. what are they typically used for?

Rats, birds, snakes, and just plain fun...
Back in the day, garden guns were used to dispatch things like pigeons but they could use these inside the barn without blowing holes through the tin roof.

Nice little utility guns. The problem is the difficulty in finding shot shells.

Just thinkin' out loud here... Can a GG be suppressed?

Oh boy. I sure wouldn’t want those little BBs bouncing off the baffles of my suppressor.

It sounds more or less like a cap gun anyway.
Very little report.

You can contact CCI and order them from the factory.
They will ship straight to your door.
I've done it a couple of times.

It's not called CCI though, it's something like
Cascade Cartridge Inc.

Anyone got a 9mm flobert?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Anyone got a 9mm flobert?

I have a 6mm...

 

[Lost Californian]

Anyone got a 9mm flobert?

Yes, I do. With almost 200 rounds on hand.

I do have a Rem single shot smooth bore and it is a hoot to use around the house. I'm thinking of making a .22 pistol into a smoothie also. What a great tool to sit on the pation and take care of the chippers running around.
Have a great day.

Would that make it a SBS?

I was thinking about the same thing. something to take on a hike for snakes without lugging a rifle. Ive got shotshells for my glock 19, but Im concerned about how much scatter the rifling would affect the rounds.

No, but it would still be NFA. It would be classified as an AOW any other weapon.

I have a Marlin bolt action smooth bore garden gun in .22Mag. Shoot CCI ammo. Much,much better than .22LR Shotshells.
