Bond Arms Derringer Modifications

[triggerhappy2006]

Does anyone know of an aftermarket hammer for the Bond Arms Snake Slayer? I figure maybe someone already makes one but I am look for a solid hammer that would fire both chambers with one shot, rather than have the top then bottom (or vice versa) setup of the factory hammer.

I have a Bond Snake Slayer and know of no after market hammers. I have no desire to fire both barrels at the same time for any reason.

 

[DPris]

No, and it's an extremely bad idea.

I've seen a couple of cheap Remington copies that would do that accidentally and at random, LOL. You might want to check on the legalities before proceeding on purpose.

Firing both chambers at once would be a machine gun and highly illegal without the proper paperwork.

Then explain why I can walk into a shop and buy a double barrel shotgun.

 

[DPris]

More than one single shot fired by a single trigger pull is the typical definition of a "machinegun".
No commercial double-barreled shotgun is constructed for sale to the general public to fire both barrels with ONE pull of ONE trigger.

Do they no longer make double triggered shotguns? I guess it's not considered a single trigger pull but you can fire both barrels at once.

 

[DPris]

Drag,
It's the one shot per one trigger pull issue, not the firing of two barrels at once using two triggers.
The feds could not care less if you fire both barrels at the same time in a double shotgun, or double rifle, or howdah pistol, as long as you use TWO triggers to do it.

If a single trigger fires more than one shot with a single trigger pull, it's a "machinegun".

Yes, there are loads of dual-triggered doubles out there, but each only fires one shot with one trigger.
Even the single-triggered models will automatically choose one barrel or the other, won't fire both barrels with one trigger pull.

The definition wasn't meant for shotguns, or double-barreled anythings, it was meant for full-auto guns & the broad definition prohibits what the OP is talking about by technical application as a "by-product". Or collateral damage, if you want to use the term loosely.

to make this legal you would have to make a double trigger and attach each one do a different barrel.

 

[Stukaman]

I've got an old AYA Spanish double in 20 gauge that sometimes would come very close to at the same time just boom boom never knew when it would happen it sits in my cabinet now a birthday gift from my uncle when I was 16 it was his when he was 16.

 

[warningshot]

If you installed a gizmo that fired both barrels at the same time, then would you have to hire two lawyers at the same time to keep you out of D Block?

 

[DPris]

Pretty much.

[Jbar4Ranch]

Theoretically...


... if you had a double barreled shotgun with two triggers, and added a "mechanical device", such as a wrap of wire around each trigger so that they could both be pulled at the same time by one pull of the wire, you would have a machine gun, as defined by BATFE.

Anybody ever fire an old pepperbox? Sometimes you never know how many barrels are going to fire with one pull of the trigger. Or when the gun is through shooting.

First time I ever fired my .36 Navy percussion at the age of 16 three chambers fired at once.

This type of stuff is accidental, not deliberate design, and ATF doesn't care.
