    sweet:), is the can real? I would love one of those. It would be restricted here though we can't be shooting those dangerous 45acp's, 300 win mag is grand though. real thought went into that bit of legislation.

    Did you have to pay the big tax bill to get the silencer harmoniums or is it just a fake ?

    Good man, you will have to post a vid for us plebs:cool::cool: I'd say she will be really quiet.
    The one gun i would buy if i lived over there is a nice gatling in 45-70, I think colt did a run of them a few years back mad money. I would love one. I'd love to have a crack at building the .22 version too. such a shame i was born in this godforsaken place.:(

    There were two reproductions sold at the auction I picked the carbine up in.
    On was in 45-70, I think it went for around 50K.
    There was another percussion one also that you had to load "cartridges" basically turned steel thick walled cylinders that had to be loaded with black powder, a slug and a percussion cap. I didnt see what that went for.

    There are some legal mechanisms, namely a NFA trust.
    I'll be going the Prop Master route though, I already rent stuff out via a licensed intermediary, I was thinking about cutting him out and getting the licenses myself.

    That pick was taken at the auction house, the numbers are lot numbers.

    My collection is fairly big, small by some folks estimation, outlandish by others.
    I'm actually in the process of pairing down the "junk" and buying rarer stuff with the proceeds
    For this boyo I need to raise 1200 bucks, so I sold two Romanian TT33s and a pair of No1Mk3 Enfields, all nice functional pieces, but pieces that were made in the millions.
