Title: Something a little weird and maybe even impractical.
Post by: Badgersmilk on October 06, 2009, 07:54:45 AM: We've all seen them. Those guns that have something unique about them, catch our eye, and make us think. "You know, I'd really like to have that thing if I could think of a use for it!".

Along with the sawed off, lever action shotgun I've seen used in a couple movies now. ;D

Also, the Mad Max 12 ga. pistol would be fun! ;D

Looks like the shotgun in the picture even has a bayonet mount!

You'll have to stick with the Norinco at impact. And WHAT A PIG STICKER IT IS!

Post by: Badgersmilk on October 06, 2009, 08:45:12 AM: Seem's to load easy & have a smooth action (far better than my 870!)! Great now I REALLY want one!

Post by: Hazcat on October 06, 2009, 08:49:35 AM: It did seem to run well. Just think how cool it would look with that little bayonet on it. ;)

"The design did not have a trigger disconnector so the magazine could be emptied by holding back the trigger and firing as fast as the forearm could be pumped." I can see it now... "Take THAT rabbit!" ;D

Post by: Hazcat on October 06, 2009, 09:25:49 AM: Yeah, it doesn't look like he is pulling the trigger in the vids you posted.

Win Model 12s are the same way...... fastest second-shot capability around. A good shooter is faster than a semi-auto.

Post by: m25operator on October 08, 2009, 07:51:17 PM: A lot of older pumps did not have disconnectors, Ithaca 37's, Remington 61, 62, 63, .22rf, + the aforementioned.

But nothing like a good 12g.

I keep putting an AA-12 on my Christmas List,.... :-\

Post by: Walter45Auto on October 15, 2009, 12:51:36 PM: I've always wanted a model 97. ;D One day I'll get one....

Post by: L.E. Keeney on October 15, 2009, 01:16:38 PM: A friend of mine found a 97 trench gun on the back of a used gun rack at an older gun store a few years back. It had markings from the WV State Penitentiary at Moundsville WV. He paid $150 for it and sold it for $750 at a gun show 2 weeks later.
