Hey Stosh, maybe we don’t throw the dog high enough.
Maybe not so good for CCW.
Maybe a “bench fire” from 100ft away, but no closer. Is there a YT of it yet?
Ok, 437.5 grains to an ounce says that the bullets weight in at 21,875 grains. Quite a heavy bullet.
The sign said Vermont Bear Left. So we went home.
And 1858 Remington army on steroids.
Is that a gun in your pocket???
Sounds more like an 8 gauge pistol, gotta see what he does for a holster on this baby, I would love to make one as well but instead a 4 foot long 1911.
A nice pistol for backyard plinking.
Ping.
Some people have too much time on their hands.
It would make a good sign for a gun shop.
“It shoots through schools.”
Joe piscopo. Johnny dangerously.
Maybe with a two-inch barrel?

No sh!t, Sherlock. What was your first clue? Other than a couple of large machine screws, almost everything would have to be made by hand. :)
Ping to all my blackpowder and revolver friends. It looks like some people are making up for lost trigger time now that the commies are gone.
Does he cast his own bullets, or does he farm that job out to a foundry. :) To keep things simple, each cylinder probably uses one can of Fg cannon powder.
RT reports that “It took Mr (Ryszard) Tobys around 2,500 hours to construct, since most of the parts had to be built by hand.”

Maybe he used a 3D printer?
It may be a revolver, but it ain’t a handgun.
How do you say, “Go ahead. Make my day.” in Polish?
