Speaking of 80's oddballs, did Miami_JBT get run off again? Haven't seen him lately.

It was sort of cool in a way but the novelty wore off pretty quick and I didn’t keep it long.

I THINK this Cat-45 is from the late 80's but a super light polymer gun. they made several calibers but this one is .45. single stack, ugly but light, and always went bang.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By pug826: I used to have a Mossberg bullpup! It was so uncomfortable to shoot, but it functioned just fine and was super cool to bring out. The carry handle was terrible, being bolted on to the heat shield. I do regret selling it, it was such a cool piece of shotgun history. I bought one on GB for 360 bucks over the weekend. Will be a hoot to shoot. Gonna see if I can find my square knit tie, and Member's Only windbreaker to wear when I take it to the range. If only I'd bought a pair of parachute pants in the 80's to go along. |

Doc At one point I had a good start on a collection of all of the oversized autoloaders. Pared down quite a bit in that category after losing interest once I had finished playing with them for awhile. The Desert Eagle was the first to go, despite having .357, 44 and .50AE barrels for it. Just that little bit too big and clumsy in the hands. The Coonan was next and the magazine situation was a good chunk of why it went. Although the .357 kit for the LAR Grizzly took away a lot of the point of having both. I have a number of magazines for .45 Win Mag, but now I'm stuck with only one .357 Grizzly magazine (as well as only one 10mm one, but that's another story), so I might have jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire with that decision.  Edited to add: Grizzly.357 floorplate markings  Attached File.357 conversation barrel markings  Attached FileAnd since this seems like the thread to post these in...  Attached File |
