Transferable 93 Raffica

Here is a pic of my transferable 93r, manufactured by Tim Bixler and registered prior to the 86 cut off.

I’m not sure how to post pics in this forum, so here’s a link...

If someone can show me how to post pics, I’d appreciate it.

To post pictures write:

But instead of “<>” use “[]”

Although it looks like Imgur doesn’t let you hotlink. You can also click on “Manage Attachments” in your post.

Tony,

Very nice!

Does the fore-grip offer good control in auto?

A 93r is a short list item for sure. So much more class then a G18.

Nice addition to the family

If we ever arrange a TFL get-together shoot, you guys are welcomed to my stuff.

The front grip does help, but the stock is the biggest factor in controllability.

The link you posted is to a website on the imgur domain. You need the actual url of the image itself.

Right click on the image and select "Copy Image Location" or "Copy Shortcut" (it will be something along those lines but it will vary depending on your browser) and then paste that value into the IMG tags.

If the picture shows up very large, use the [resize=750][/resize] tags around your IMG tags to make the display size more manageable.

Here’s what shot distribution looks like with the stock, at 7 yards, emptying the magazine rapidly.

Is that a converted Beretta or a Taurus... most I have seen were Tauruses.

Original Beretta 93R is what it looks like to me. Sweet pistol I only knew from the Executioner series of books.

This is known as a Bixler-Boatman 93R.

All transferable 93Rs are clones. There are no factory transferable 93Rs.

There are two types of 93R clones: the Taurus framed versions and the Bixler machined versions. Here is a story, as relayed by someone else as to how Tim Bixler made the 93Rs...

BEGIN QUOTE

The story Tim Bixler tells about making the transferable 93r guns is pretty funny. Apparently he had 1 pre 86 gun that he used to reverse engineer the frames from. He did not have any spare parts so what he would do would strip the pre86 gun's frame bare and send it back to Beretta and they would install all new parts. He did this a few times each time getting a new set of parts to complete the transferable frames to complete the guns. Beretta finally would not replace the parts and thus he could not make any more guns since the part sets at the time were just not available.

END QUOTE

This is the source of the quote

These guns run flawlessly. They're beautiful guns that are extremely fun to shoot.
