Don’t know what Mike is thinking of but an interrupted thread could do it. You’d need only a small latch at the base of the barrel/frame junction to secure the assembly. Something like the Merwin Hulbert cartridge revolvers.
I'm thinking it's a set of lug recesses where the arbor would normally screw in, and the arbor has lugs that turn into and engage those recesses.
Yes, it would be a lug type setup just like a bolt in a bolt action rifle.
That could work if you can get around the hand and hammer slots.
Go ahead brother. I have chopped 2 so far. An 1851in .36 and an 1860 in .44. Do it quick and the pain goes away faster. What i made were brass 3" snubbies. Got a steel .36 to make a 3" 38 S&W conversion gun. Just have not gotten to it yet. One day.
Woa Woa Woa I may need to get in on this my brothers. Aint no one likes shooting big guns better than Marines.
Think about how many of us would be willing to do these torture tests. All they gotta do is buy the ammo!
I couldn’t do it so it sent it away to a mercinary… er, I mean gunsmith, who has no such qualms! Hah!
Spend all that time in the rice fields and cant cut up one little pistol? I know, took me a few months to getup the nerve also.
We used mercs there too… ROK were tough sons. (They’d cut up that pistol, no sweat
)The ROKs wouldn't need a hacksaw. They'd just chew the barrel off. Love those guys!We used mercs there too… ROK were tough sons. (They’d cut up that pistol, no sweat
Took me a minute to figure out what a "suppository gun" is! Clever!
Most people don't know anything about the ROKs. They kicked a--. BTW, a friend who patrolled the DMZ in Korea before being sent into combat in VN, tells about all the left-over stuff from the Korean War that's in the un-touchable, un-inhabited DMZ; you can just look and see left over detrius from the combat when the Armistice was called. They say the DMZ is a veritable wildlife paradise for many kinds of animals, as there's NO human activity in there. ROKs are tough!We used mercs there too… ROK were tough sons. (They’d cut up that pistol, no sweat
I've only heard good things about their performance in Vietnam. There was one story recounted in a memoir I read where a firebase was having issues with VC harassing them every evening with some mortar rounds. A ROK squad went out after one such episode and came back a few hours later with a base plate, tube and a few VC heads.
C4 is not set off that way. You can burn it and stomp on it and it won’t go off. C4 can be even shot by a rifle round and it won’t go off. C4 is set off by a shock wave initiated by a high intensity shock way created by an explosive booster. I would not burn it an inhale the fumes though.
So, I've heard that it a hit from a hammer while it's burning provides sufficient shock.
