Sometimes I think you're insane. Sometimes I think you're a genius. Most of the time I think you're an insane genius!!
Seriously, while I won't be standing in line to buy one of your contraptions this week, I find it truly fascinating and remarkable how you push, fold, spindle and mutilate the envelope! You have my sincere appreciation.
What's next? Belt feed?
Max.
P.S. I like that your Frankenruger has a first name! Was it named after a BeeGee??

So much for not having to bend over and hunt for your brass when shooting a revolver...  |

Ahhh, cause it speaks of the pompetus (sp?) of love!! Know that well. I agree with Hoss - brilliant! Would like to see Bill Ruger's face if he were around to review that :-) |

Yes, but I have seen things nobody likely should...like the BACK of the pawl and star while it's running. The scary part was shaving the pawl slightly narrower from the outside, for proper clearance of the shells going past. But it works! And I have one other weird ability with this thing. With no mag in, I can drop a round down the mag well, cock and fire, do it again more or less forever. Empties will eject on the other side so I'll always have an empty cylinder bore to drop one into. |

I wouldn't want this on my single action revolver, but I agree about the ingenuity you have in creating this. I wonder what else you might come up with that could break wide open into a million dollar idea... keep it up!

It'll get really weird if I ever (deity of your choice forbid!) have to shoot somebody with it. The look on the DA's face is gonna be...yeah. Interesting.

Imagine some stuffed suit assistant-DA trying to 'splain the functioning on that beast to a jury of hoplophobes!! :-) yeehaw!! "Well, yes, it was designed as a single action, manually-loaded six shot revolver, but it now functions as a.... a..... a..... Well it FUNCTIONS!!" |

There isn't even proper terminology for half this stuff. "Upper half of the loading gate"?
