    RAREST GUN In History - Shooting Cast Boolits!

    This is one of the COOLEST things I have seen on History Channel! The Pawn Stars cast and crew get acquainted with a Bira Gun.

    Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?

    There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism—by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide. Ayn Rand

    Now that would make for a really fun range session.Roll that up to the line at your local range,and watch the RO wet his pants,or worse.
    Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

    One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)

    I have been thinking about where I had seen this gun before.Finally figured it out.There was one featured on that show sponserd by the Julia auction company.So I guess that there are two of those in the US unless the one featured on"Pawn Stars"was the same one.
    Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

    Now if one of you mechanically inclined fellas would build one chambered for the .30 Badger you could even afford to shoot it often

    Not the oldest or rarest but interesting. French guy built a 'semi' auto BP 'gun' in the 1700s but never sold any. Actually it was quite advanced for the time but a little odd.
    Whatever!

    Not sure it can lay down lead more effectively, or with anything like the mobility of 5-10 guys with Martinis, but I'd still GLADLY give one a home!
