Fire Breathing Pistol

[Johnch]

My cousin has started doing Gunsmithing
Mostly AR 15's and AR 10's

But some varmint rifles
He stopped over to ** for a while this afternoon

After a while , I just had to ask what the grin was about
He laughed and got a TC Contender barrel from his truck
He said enjoy , but don't start any brush fires

It was a "CUSTOM" 4" 223 Contender barrel
1 - 10 twist blue barrel .... that and more stamped on the barrel
Just drilled & tapped for a scope base .... he was to cheap to give me a base LOL

It even has the dovetail set up to mount a forearm

He said he made a couple of Contender barrels from extra chunks of varmint rifle barrels
I was given a barrel he made to test out how he was going to do things

For grins I got out a frame & forearm and some 60 gr full power cast bullet loads
These were pure Linotype and pushed by H335

LOL All I can say is LOUD and a Muzzle FLASH
No clue how the barrel groups , as we only shot 3 rounds and didn't have a scope on yeat

Not sure just what I am going to use the barrel for
As when you put ammo in the barrel
You can see the bullet not far down the barrel

Maybe REAL close range groundhogs ;)

Wonder what your muzzle velocity is like?

Kinda like the pocket AR pistol

thats actually a pretty small fireball. i have a 7mm-08 pistol with an ak74 type brake milled on the end of the barrel. 10' fireballs are the norm.

Video does not capture it well. I've seen an Obrez fired, and the fireball is far more impressive in person!

That Mosin is the dumbest illegal thing I've seen this week.

I have to agree with the above post. I thought that was illegal if it started life as a rifle didn't think you could turn it into pistol.sorry just realized you already determined it is illegal

TC actually made a 221 Fireball chambered barrel in the original old 10" octagon configuration. The one I had certainly lived up to its name and had a boom to match. I can only imagine (and gasp) at the thought of that barrel 6" shorter and the chamber deeper. Unless you are planning on killing and pre-searing your game at the same time, I have to ask why you would do this... but that's just me. Have fun!

and putting a video on the internet with it is smart ??????????

The only TC I ever fired was chambered for the .357 maximum round. One shot was enough.........

nothing about it is illegal, so long as they first applied for and received the appropriate stamp from the ATFE.

lol, I had a 10" Contender barrel in .357 max, it was something but nothing compared some of the encore barrels I have now. 270, 500 S&W...
