Show me your unusual gun

[Stormson]

I was referring to the EBR. $700 for a "conversion" that is no more useful than a $100 Traditions in-line. A real advance in Technology if ever there was.

Next someone will convert a full auto to a single shot muzzle loader at the mere low price of $3,000.00.

Yes they are unusual and I imagine they will stay that way.

Ahh.. I got ya.

LOL.. yeah.. One would have be pretty hardcore into BP to want one of those! I suppose it would make a nice "gag gift" for the upper crust guys...

"I'd love to see someone make an EBR(evil blackpowder rifle) that is all tacticool and ninja'ed out yet operates in the same way as a normal bp gun. Complete with all the features your average gun control activist is terrified of such as a shoulder thing that goes up. Chances are they'd want to ban said gun if you showed them a pic of it based solely on cosmetic appearance alone."


I am surprised anyone would think or do this. The less attention brought to black powder guns, the better. Once the anti gunners figure out that they do the same thing as other guns our goose is cooked. It is better to fly under the radar than to bring attention to ourselves. But it is the younger people who think in tacticool that will bring the ruination upon us. We have been able to be virtually regulation free but that may well change if we bring unwarranted attention to our sport.

Here's another weird Scandinavian: the Jarmann rifle. This was one of the first bolt-action repeating rifles when it was adopted in the early 1880s. Its bottleneck cartridge was loaded with black powder and a paper-patched bullet. It was used by the Norwegian army until the adoption of the Krag-Jorgensen rifle in 1894. The rifle pictured below was used by the Swedish navy.



I did a write-up with lots of pictures on my experiences with the Jarmann in this article: http://www.svartkrutt.net/articles/vis.php?id=47

I had an opportunity to buy one of those and I'm sorry I didn't. Extremely cool rifle

Not mine but interesting and unusual.

I love Broomhandles. As a child, it was the very first one I wanted. It took many years before I managed to buy one; a slabside no less (no panels milled out). I brought in a book and examined it in front of the dealer and after deciding its rarity, bought it. The salesperson said that he didn't realize it was an early one and would have asked for a lot more had he had known.

I almost traded for one with the holster/shoulder stock but he just wanted to much for it.

I guess this qualifies as a oddity. It's sort of a take off on an Elgin cutlass pistol. It was made by the now defunct Classic Arm LTD company that sold a line of small smooth bore pistols in both finished and kit form. They had a pepperbox pistol and a couple of pocket sized single and double barreled muzzle loaders--all percussion. Quality was so-so.

This not an accurate copy of the Elgin since all that Classic did was to bolt on a big knife blade on their small single shot pistol---which was about half the size of the real thing However, I got it cheap and stuck it in a display case of pirated themed stuff.
