furyonox · October 9, 2015, 10:27 AM

The next step will be to create a revolver case

The keys have a little screwdriver

.
If you are interested at my project I can build for you the Shoulder Stock in two versions.
- Shoulder Stock with holster
- Shoulder Stock without holster, more slim but still sturdy
I can realize all with your design and prompt

Very nice work.

I've always thought a should stock for a handgun is a great idea but we've got legal restrictions in the USA that make it difficult to have one as an accessory.

Some folk will be along shortly to quote chapter and verse about the restrictions.

However...we got concealed carry permission in my state when I never thought we would, folk are making a point that suppressors should not have to be regulated so who knows, maybe the restrictions on shoulder stocks will be dropped. Here's hoping.

Good luck.

Hi
tell me something more about the USA restrictions, I only know that there is a tax...

I can see true craftsmanship in the work shown in your pictures! I wish I could buy one!

I'M hopeful that the Feds will do something about the silly '"buttstock for pistols" law, too. Frankly, I don't see it happening. It would make entirely too much sense, which seems very much against policy when legislating away our 2nd Amendment rights.

In the USA a pistol may not be equipped with a shoulder stock or it is considered a "Short barreled rifle" (SBR). Most States will allow a SBR to be made if the maker pays a $200 tax to the federal Govt and gets prior approval from our BATFE.

There are exceptions for older guns under the "curio and relic" clause. Your GP100 does not qualify

Some of our gun laws are silly on their face. IMHO the SBR laws are some of the dumbest on the books.

Very nice work!

I love your Ruger GP100 too!

That is incredible!!!!
In Italy get firearms license is very very difficult, when you are lucky to get it, you have to pay attention.
If you stay at home with your wife and a criminal tries to steal or worse try to attack you can't shoot.
You have to wait two three seconds and think if the defense is the same at the offense, you can't shoot less than three meters and not if the criminal run away after stolen.
So in Italy you can use the shoulder stock without problems............

The Italian word for crazy is PAZZO !
Your stock would look really nice if the whole thing were made of Olive wood instead of only a small piece !

Pazzo,
First let me say I do enjoy your posts and appreciate the work you put into this stock, but you really could have, and IMO should have, put all of this in one thread instead of three.

Not only would this be an NFA SBR, but it would also be an import. I am unsure what complications that would pose as it is not a serialized part as is, but I am sure there would be some.

I don't think a GP100 version will be all that marketable in the US on the scale that would justify dealing with the complications. With a 1911 version and maybe another common model it might be worth looking at.
Just ideas though.

Model12Win · October 10, 2015, 11:12 PM

I think a GP100 with 16" tapered lightweight barrel, a scope rail, and a detachable shoulder stock would just be awesome.

It would be like a modern Colt Revolving Rifle.

It would be very accurate in single action, and the rifle length barrel would make the rounds very effective in terms of velocity and energy.

They would have to make the barrel tapered, maybe even fluted, to make it comfortable enough to hold one handed but I think it would be awesome.

If the gun could be made with a barrel long enough to make the whole revolver 26" long, there would be no special restriction about the shoulder stock

Howdy

Smith and Wesson made detachable shoulder stocks for several of their large frame revolver models, but this is different.

This is a photo of a Smith & Wesson Model 320 Revolving Rifle. They are very rare, less than 1000 were produced. It is based on the New Model Number Three revolver. Barrels were 16", 18", or 20" long. The fore stock and grips were mottled red hard rubber, the detachable stock was Walnut. Caliber was a proprietary 32 caliber round. They came with a detachable tang sight, which seems to be missing from this gun. Produced from 1879 until 1887, 997 were made.
