I just saw these as I was surfing on Gun broker http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...?Item=77481564 .Anyone have any first hand experience with these ? Better or worse than a H&R Handy rifle? and where the heck are they made Spain, Turkey, Russian??? TIA
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
Remington is selling Russian shotguns so this could well be from Russia also. One web page showed it available in a lot of nice calibers, here's a page that offers it for sale at $206.95 but lists only 4 calibers. I want to say it looks a lot like a Number 1 but they can't possibly sell falling block actions at that price. http://www.guns4ever.com/catalog.php...tegory&id=6979
Looks to me like it is a pivot model, like a break open gun (shotgun). ... felix

That's exactly what they are. A friend bought one in .308 Winchester recently, the only problems he encountered were extraction problems when shooting some surplus 7.62x51 ammo and a creepy trigger. The extraction problems ended with commercial ammo and handloads, the trigger is still being messed with.Originally Posted by felix
