Found at a Small Gun Shop

I once found a Charles Daly 20 gauge SXS with improved cylinder and full chokes in a small shop. It has double triggers and extractors, exactly what I wanted. No one in the area liked side by side shotguns, so it was mine for $125 and tax. True, it was made in Japan by Miroku, but they make great guns.

It has been one of my favorite upland game guns.

A 15” trigger pull?! Holy cow.

Depending on the price, I would’ve snapped up the SAR-180.

I envy people that took the time to learn and know guns.

I personally have a respect for quality workmanship and a romance with anything handmade.

Guns are unique in the manufacturing genre.

I'm like a lot of gun owners, but I hope not the majority ...

Like too many drivers ...I know enough to turn the key (load), put it in gear (cock) and drive (fire)

I can deal with fluids (cleaning) and minor repairs (field strip), but I'm not so good at understanding how ABS works or the history of the automatic transmission.

I actually have the Cimarron Uberti, Wyatt Earp Buntline in 45LC. It also has a unique holster with 6 round loops built into the side of the Holster.

I really like shooting it. It makes an odd tube like noise when firing. I’m guessing it’s because of the long barrel...

It is a pricey gun. The Silver inlay is a nice touch..

Thanks for another great article.

I’d be happy just to find ammo. When I go to WalMart or my local gun shops...it’s sold out literally as they put it on the shelves.

“They’ll” be knocking on your door momentarily. LOL!

[rktman]

If you don’t mind mail order. They worked well for me when I bought ammo from them in the past.

I was glad to see that the owner of RCH Firearms is named Robert Clayton Hornak.

Great finds! I remember seeing a video demonstration of the SAR 180 like 30 years ago. It was chambered for .22 LR and was fully automatic with a pretty good firing rate. In the demo they were literally pulverizing cinder blocks with .22 fire. The article mentions the laser sight system. IIRC one of the uses of this unique and interesting firearm was prison riot control. Being in the eye of the laser and knowing that about 30 .22 slugs could be impacting your body in a small area must have been a huge incentive to disperse.

Probably meant 15lb pull. My first revolver , a S&W 38, had a 14lb pull

FYI

Refers to the length of the butt stock.

"Probably meant 15lb pull. My first revolver , a S&W 38, had a 14lb pull"

No, he meant 15 inch pull. It is length of pull. Distance from trigger to end of butt stock.

Jeez, c'mon guys.

[dangerdoc]

Pull is the distance between the trigger and butt plate.

“I was glad to see that the owner of RCH Firearms is named Robert Clayton Hornak.”

That was close!

Surprisingly clean Winchester Model 50 at the end of that shotgun rack.
