The first successful pump action shotgun was the invention of the man who produced the Civil War’s sole-issued repeating rifle, Christian Miner Spencer. Born in 1833, Spencer was an American archtype; a compulsive inventor who created the rifle that bears his name, an automatic screw-turning machine, and a steam-powered automobile, among other things. In his lifetime, he acquired 42 patents, and the things he designed worked.

Can the attempt gather any interest, and actually compete with 14Shooter's alternative purposes?
