I have heard of them but sorry I dont know anything about them either 
I've got a 20 gauge with a 26" barrel that I've had since I was around 15 and I'll be 54 in a few days. It's always been good to me as long as I remember to have it on the correct gas setting. Use it for quail, shot a few deer with it before I got a 12 gauge.
You can't just drop a picture like that on us and leave us hanging.I've only owned one High Standard shotgun, but it was nice and short.

(That's not rust on the bolt, it's just an effect of the lighting.)
Details, man. Details!
Found this High Standard Model 10B shotgun in Tuscon around 84-85, it was from an estate sale. I'd always wanted one so I asked the price and it seemed reasonable. One of the things I noticed is that it was either almost unfired or someone had done an amazing job of cleaning as there wasn't even a trace of brass scraping on the loading gate.You can't just drop a picture like that on us and leave us hanging.

It stayed unmolested until 6yrs ago when I decided to have an extended magazine tube installed. Choate was the original makers of the magazine tubes, but of course they didn't have any left over from the mid-70's. They were able to connect me with someone who had some experience with the project and gave me a few ideas. I finally located a gunsmith in Florida who offered a magazine tube constructed from two original tubes. It now has a full 7-round capacity, even with Federal LE123-00 Buck.
The Eotech came last year, when I got tired of having to sight-in after each time I had a thorough cleaning (the 10B requires the front sight be removed for complete take-down). The old carry handle/sight combination comes off with two screws and it was an easy mod to put a M-1913 rail on top.
What's it like to shoot? Surprisingly, the recoil is less than what I feel with other shotguns. The straight line of the recoil helps with that a great deal, I suspect. Dumping a full magazine is a piece of cake with great controllability.
It was really an idea ahead of its time. I wonder often how well a bullpupped shotgun would be received today.
I was thinking it was a Frank-en-gun that you had built from other guns...
but last night I was watching American Guardian (I think that was the show) on the Outdoor Channel and they showed a gun just like this.
They were talking about weapon mounted lights, and then they showed a shotgun like yours that had a large light mounted where your Eotech is.
Pretty cool. Never even thought about a bullpup shotgun.
You're right. A design ahead of it's time.
