Picking things up a bit...

A growing number of collectors customize their automatic knives by changing scales, bolsters, blades, doing fileworks, ... Wether you're a guru or just a wannabe knife modder, this is the place to discuss it!

ruger caliber or a .454 casull do so they are a lot of fun but make sure you have a firm grip on them before you squeeze the trigger or they will either flip out of your hand or give you a nice little reminder of how hard the recoil is on your forehead :shock:


GEE, that does sound like fun! :lol:

Me, too!'ve been looking for a deal on a Minx M4 (3-1/2" bbl.)
Used to have one that I could regularly hit a 50 rd. .22 box at 25 yards!
Neat little guns.

Magnum,
Thanks for the responce on the nitro.
I have never fired one either,or even seen one in real life except in photos but I have always been facinated by them.
The reason I asked the question is several years ago I was telling a young fellow who lived next door to me about them.this guy thought of himself as being really tough,and said he would shoot one with no problem.
I looked and asked everyone I knew if they knew anyone who had one,
I would have givin a 1000 dollars to some who had one just to let him shoot it,it would have been worth it to watch him get knocked on his ass :lol:

Natch
only one hand gun was made that I know of.check this out,
I don't think I would shoot this one handed.

Mr. Teq..

This might sound daft... but I'd rather have a go with that huge heavy revolver in .600 nitro-express than the same cartridge in a double rifle... I don't like the recoil on a three inch magnum 12 bore... mos' unpleasant !! ... in fact I ain't too keen on a standard 12 bore if'n it's got a fixed breach... gas auto's are fine... but a hot-loaded .44 mag doesn't bother me...

All the best
Teddy

Teq

I thought the .45/70 revolver looked pretty massive :!: I can see that the gauntlet has been thrown. I guess I'll have to dust off those plans for a four shot revolver in .50 BMG. Or I might chamber it in .615 Super Natch (a .50 BMG case necked up to accept a 950 grain bullet). Bigger is always better, no? :roll:

Teq-No prob i haven't seen one either but have held a few of the cartridges and they are massive.Man that is what i call BIG BORE never seen a revolver so huge and I'm not scared to say i will not be firing one
no time soon :wink: The .500 S&W magnum is the biggest i want to shoot
i can handle alot of recoil but i do have my limitations.I would have paid to have seen that guy shoot the .600 nitro myself so i could have gotten a good laugh when it put him on the ground :lol: :lol:

Natcherly-A 4 shot revolver in .50 BMG that would be cool 8)

Teddy-I shoot a 3 1/2 magnum 12 guage pump you think a standard 3" mag is bad shoot one of those :shock: :shock:

Very nice!
I see them on Gunbroker for a couple of hundred, but just haven't felt like getting one. I'm hoping to find one locally.

I'll try and locate my "Whamo" .22 and take a pic :idea: Yes the same people who brought you the Frisbe, and Hula Hoop also made a .22 Pistol 8) The Gun Control Act of '68 ended that kind of Mail Order fun :(
