But uh, how do you hold the thing? Where is your support hand supposed to go? Do you hold it like a really long barrel revolver with a stock? Lol

Yeah, I like the idea of a wheel-gun rifle. This is interesting until you consider how you shoulder and shoot it.
The grip looks weird and awkward as does thee lack of a hand guard / fore stock.
 
I have one of these in 45 colt
They are awkward to shoot/hold, I find that the stock needs to be angled down more so you get a better sight picture
To hold it you have to use that small hook on the bottom of the trigger guard, they designed it like this and not with a fore stock as the gasses shooting out sideways from the revolver would burn your wrists and arm
I do recommend wearing glasses as you do get peppered in the face with gasses and burnt powder residue
They are a cool firearm but there is a reason they never caught on, a lever gun is much easier/better to shoulder and shoot

What do you mean « not built on handgun frame »? How is the frame different?

If it is built on a handgun frame then it's a handgun. For example the Alfa Proj carbines and Rossi circuit judge carbines. Those guns could never be NR because of their handgun frames.

NR still has a minimum length requirement…

Actually, no. At a certain point the rcmp will deem them handguns, but the 26" rule only applies to guns that fold, telescope, etc.

Examples: 12" barreled Mares leg rifles, the super short double barrel shotguns TI sells like the ss211 and ss213. All of these are under 26" but NR. (Meanwhile the 9" mares legs are handguns, because the rcmp said so.)

It only has to be subtle. Like the angle of the straps that hold the stock.
Just enough to make the RCMP lab happy. We ran into this with the Heritage Rancher. They make the exact same one in the USA but the Canadian one has a couple tiny changes so it is not the exact same frame as the handguns. Just enough to make the Canadian ones NR. By just looking at it, you would never see any difference.

This is a fun rifle to shoot, the stance is unique thus making it surprisingly on target, keeper, keeper

My understanding of them is that you hook the index finger of your support hand on that curved piece extending from the trigger guard and use that to pull the rifle into your shoulder. Keeps the form factor of a revolver rifle without having a forend while mitigating burning your hand on the barrel or catching gas from the cylinder gap

Now...having said that, I still think it looks a little janky but they're just not for me. I'm sure the guys who like them think they're great.
 
Hey prophet, what would the minimum requirement be for a custom run length of these? Could there be a chance for a small order with say a 10” barrel? Or some of the buntline barrels at 12” for simplicity even?
