Whoa!

No, I hadn't seen that. COOL!

GottahaveoneGottahaveoneGottahaveone!

I was thinking of a minature version of the Custer era guns, but this is definitely a thing of beauty.

Thanks for the pic!

Now, the American 180, that's also on my wish list. Sort of a cross between a Lewis gun and a Thompson, in .22 caliber. Fella in Santa Ana California, quite a few (20?) years back gave the PD a bit of grief with one. He used one of the trigger guard cranks and a cordless drill to make a rather impressive sprayer of lead. 1500 rounds will keep their heads down for awhile.

They did get him, though.
