Nice Score Arno!! Unusual to find such an item at a thrift store,
was it a small private establishment or one of the big ones?
Austin, it's not a firearm. same as functional replicas of pre 189? guns,
any felon can own one :) (Not classified as 'Firearms' under Federal law, but ARE under a few state laws. check your statutes, I think MA, NY, and DC prohibit)
or you can make your own (not sure on the legal status of these) [/video]
HH to ya !!

The shop is owned by a couple that clean out old properties for the bank or when people pass away. I find all kinds of stuff there, I collect old tools among other things and I can find almost everything I need from there. My wife is having a baby next month and at the thrift store they have hundreds of kids cloths for .25 cents each. She has found alot of nice cloths. From the info I have found about the gun it is around 50 -60 dollars. I love that store.

A neat pistol for sure, Not sure that I'd fire let alone hold it while I fired a 12 ga. shotgun shell through a piece of galvanised
pipe like that......Might not stand the pressures.jmho................HH

Agreed Gunrunner, I don't recommend anyone else doing it either, I would try it with a low power load, understand it's not barrel steel, but it is much thicker. let's have Chumley to test it :laughing9:

A few weeks ago my wife had CSI Miami on and a guy made a home made gun and I was amazed. I would of never thought of that.
