That 45 is a beauty! Love the Russian style grip frame.
The AR has a Truglo Red dot on it.

Hot damn, Renault, that may be the prettiest revolver I've seen this year. What a find . . . and unfired? Amazing!
I realize this is sort of contrarian of me but having carried a black gun for twenty-nine years, I want nothing to do with them ever again. Yeah, they shoot. I used to be able to shoot one hole groups with mine when the unit went to qualify but I just don't like them. We called 'em Mouse Guns, as in 'Mickey'.
If any of the chaps on the board have interest, it looks like I'm going to be the exclusive importer of the only Scheibengewehr still being manufactured. For those who believe one should 'stand on your hind legs and shoot like a man' there is nothing like them.
The caliber will be the standard German/Swiss/Austrian target cartridge, 8.15x46R. Now for the hard part. These rifles are basically made to order but I'm looking to get the factory to do a limited run of round barrel, plain wood, not engraved target guns. How much they cost will depend on how many orders I can put together. I am hesitant to put out any numbers until I have a firmer idea of what the demand is. Sorry, I wish I could be more specific but that's reality. However, I can say they won't be cheap!
Hi
I understand the problem, but I don't think you'll get much in the way of interest if you don't have some sort of idea. Even an estimate of say between $2-3000 (for example) would be helpful.
I like the humpback CZ 452, but I got the American. Whoops. This would be a very similar rifle.
Thanks again
There still exist a scheutzen verein in New Braunfels Texas that still shoots these rifles and others like it (as well as high-walls and newer Rifles, etc ). I think they are currently the oldest, still in existence verein in the USA.
They shot off the step supports, offhand. Which means you step up to firing position and rest the forward part of the barrel on a corresponding step comfortable for your height. Looks like a piece of stair stringer mounted on two posts. This was the traditional position.

Not really a gun but gun/TNT related ...found an old Robinhood 10 Ga. Ammo crate that was turned in to what appears to be a TNT detonating box....the wooden wheel is a switch...the metal leads are threaded to tighten wires once placed into them. The wires in the box go to a battery that would have been in the box?????
That's fascinating. I've always been interested in the development of detonation systems ( DID YA GET THAT SATELLITE!! ^^^) Thanks for posting.
