AR-17 (1956 – 62) The AR-17 is an innovative semi-automatic shotgun featuring a hard-anodized aluminum receiver and barrel and a brown wood grain plastic stock. The barrel was equipped with replaceable chokes. The AR-17 was called the “Golden Gun” due to the color of the aluminum components. Two thousand sets of parts for the AR-17 were produced, but only 1,200 guns were sold. The AR-17 never met commercial success; it was semi-automatic, but held only two shots. It was lightweight, but was marketed to trap and skeet shooters, who normally fire many shots per day. |

I remember my Irish Great Grandmother telling me about how good of a marksman Robert Stack was, she told me not to show off, that they might put me on an anti-aircraft gun like he was...

This is as far as it comes apart without tools. My friend with a camera is here now, let me know if there are other angles you want to see.

You do post the coolest stuff.
By the way, in the thread you did on Johnsons, did you use the Guns Magazine article from March 1959, beginning on p. 30? It was written by a Castro supporter, before he made his redness obvious to all, and shows Movimiento 26º Julio guerillas with, among other weapons, Johnson LMGs and rifles. The reference in the article to Batista receiving Czech rifles was Castroite disinformation –– within a few years Vx52 rifles and the Vz23 series SMGs were everywhere in Cuba, |

Interesting. You don't see many #1 and 2 like that, they're usually kept in the company's vault/museum!
Interesting shotgun. I like the AR-style bolt. Is it a rotating & locking setup like in our rifles? |
