[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 2313851, member: 5168"] As long as his design's are still going strong, he is far from dead. The Browning M2 .50cal is going on 90+ years on active duty, one hell of a track record!! To the OP, the issue of box magazines probably had to do with the size of the shell(I know the Saiga has one), limits on number of rounds allowed during hunting, except for deer season most states limit capacity to one in the chamber an two in the magazine tube regardless of pump action, or semi-auto. Probably also had to do with balance, and proper functioning. You do have some older bolt-action shotguns with a two round magazine, I never understood the purpose of a bolt-action shotgun, and some are tube fed. There have been several aftermarket design's for box fed shotguns, but they never seem to catch on. Usually by the time you hear or read about them they are gone from the market place. Saiga is the only one still around, but its about as butt ugly as you can get for a firearm. Some folks love them, and the rest pretty much hate them. I wouldn't say I hate them, but you'd have to pay me to take one. :popcorn: :rotflmao::rotflmao: [/QUOTE]
