I bet that will set you back a few grand! I can tell the shotgun barrel is 20 gauge, but what are the other three barrels?
I wish I knew but I did find out some info on the Rifle calibers, I opened the photo and magnified it but it became too pixelated to read the pistol caliber although the two rifle calibers appear to indicate they are 8x57 JRS

The 8x57 JRS is a rifle cartridge that is used for hunting medium-sized game. It is a rimmed version of the 8x57 JS cartridge, which was designed in the early 1900s. The 8x57 JRS is often compared to the .30-06 cartridge in terms of performance.
Features

  • The 8x57 JRS is chambered in double rifles, drilling rifles, and combination rifles
  • The "J" in the name stands for "Infanterie"

  • The "S" in the name stands for "Spitzer" because the barrel is made for .323" bullets
  • The 8x57 JRS is a powerful and proven cartridge that is used by military and civilian shooters alike

    Performance
    • The 196 grain bullet achieves muzzle velocities greater than 2,400 feet per second
    • The 8x57 JRS is great for hunting medium-sized game at ranges inside 500 yards
    Ammunition
    • Ammunition for the 8x57 JRS is getting harder to find, but Sellier & Bellot and Norma are some of the manufacturers still making high-quality ammo
 
Wow, interesting combos. Mine are pretty lame in comparison. Ruger mark 2 target with any number of rifles, but a marlin papoose is the grab and go partner. No mag sharing, but compact. Didn't plan a 22 combo, it just happened.
357 revolver/rossi 92 is a great combo. More of a wife combo, avoids the possibility of malf occurence/frustration for her. She can handle a 357 in a revolver, though she is much more comfortable with 38 +p loads. Her mind has slowed down with age so this is simpler, the rossi has a loading gate, she is more inured to operating these than any other handgun/rifle systems.
9mm I have various handguns and rifles. Sub 2k, AR, and Glock 19 all in compatible mags. Another AR in the Colt mag style. Camp Carbine in 9mm, but never got a S&W for mag partner. Even a Hipoint, but it's really just a fun gun. That cheap thing sold me on the fun of the 9 carbine though. Fortunately I have sufficient mags for every pistol and rifle in the motley 9mm crew.
 
I keep lurking around this thread and have been thinking about my current options. The wife and I both have Ruger PC carbines (9mm) and both have multiple 9mm handguns which we usually match what we carry with each other. So, I guess based on current combo we would go in this order.
  1. Ruger PC Carbine and Springfield Hellcat Pro, his and hers sets and we can share magazines with each other.
  2. Ruger 10/22 and Browning Buckmark for me, Henry golden boy or Henry AR7 and Kimber 1911 for her (all in 22LR)
I would leave the 300 Blackout and 5.56 pistol and carbines off the table for now because I think in this situation it would be more prudent to just grab the pistol instead of both to limit weight and allow more ammo to be carried.
