[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What's the weirdest gun you own?

Posted: 6/5/2001 1:00:22 PM EDT

I got into this conversation at the local gun shop today, what is the oddest gun you own?
For me it would have to be my pre-ban Calico Liberty I. I've only seen 2 of them and only one new in box one (wich is now mine [:D])

So what is the oddest or weirdest gun you own?

Sears 12 Guage Bolt Action Goose Gun. HUGE barrel on it, you could bring down a high altitude bomber with it

i don't know how 'odd' this is, but i have Marlin 700 .22 rifle. Not very pretty, but shoots pretty well after some 'smithing.

My Feather AT-22 "Assault .22 LR". It's about 15 years old now but when I first go it people always wanted to know what it was.

I got some strange looks today at the indoor range shooting .32 ACP out of my Russian M44 (chamber insert). It is fun (and suprisingly accurate).

My .410/.45 LC revolver 5 shot! Forgot what it was called, or who made it. It was a lot of fun to shoot but I couldn't carry it, ammo was spendy and the damn cylinder was so heavy it was all wobbly and crap when unlocked. I figured the cylinder arm was going to fall off or break soon, so I sold it.

I used to have a Rashid carbine. Kind of like what would happen if a Hakim and an SKS got together... Loooove Gravy...!

A friend of mine got an m44 and he ended up butchering up the stock and cutting the barrel down to 17.5in. Now it has no front sight and a 3' flame comes out the barrel . He didn't know what to do with it so he gave it to me. Its just sitting there now waiting for me to do something with it. I don't know what, though. Oh well... just another ugly gun.

Mine whould have to be a pre-ban Calico M-100 with 4 100rd drums to go with it. This thing is great only mag you can get is 100rd so it is a true High cap gun. When I pull it out at the range eveyone comes to look at it (it has that space gun look to it) and I can blast away all day for a few bucks.

You mean a thunder5? I got one and it is the most unusual gun I own, I can load .410 00 buck, .410 bird shot and .45 LC in any combo I want. and if you swung it hit any one in the head with it you would knock 'em out! its heavy. I love that oddball gun

I think I have you all you guys beat. I have a British Enfield receiver mated to a 50 bmg barrel. It goes bang every time you pull the trigger, is a hoot to shoot, but because it has no muzzle break, I always go home with a bruised shoulder.

Bayard Model 1908 in .380. Barrel in the frame and the slide is above it. Smallest 5 shot .380 I've ever seen, 4.75 x 3.25 x .625.

Mine is much nicer than the example shown. Bought it for a carry piece, and used it as such for about 5 years. But I lost confidence in the safety of a striker fired weapon 90 years old in an IWB holster and retired it.

Back in 1987 I thought my Glock 17 was pretty weird.
I remember showing to a friend who'd never handled a real gun before.
He looked puzzled, and after looking it over, he said
" It looks cool but were is the real one?"
He thought it was a toy.
Back then, the Glock was totally different. Now everybody seems to be making a polymer pistol.

I met the owner of Calico a few years ago, he let me shoot a suppressed full-auto M100 machine gun with a fully loaded 100 rd drum. I put my finger on the trigger and didn't let go until the drum was empty. Man that was heaven. But that suppressor caused a huge cloud of smoke to accumulate under our awning though.

My WUM-2, because it's in 5.45x39mm. A weird caliber to be sure.

I had one of those, too about 10 years ago. It was a nifty little thing you could unscrew the barrel off it real quick and keep it in a small duffle bag.I used to keep it in it's origina box, it was a small white plain box. I thought that was odd, to. I remember looking for mags was a pain in the butt though. I ended up selling it for a hundred more than I paid for it because of the cool factor it had...

Since this thread is about "weird" and not "proud", I'd have to offer my Vulcan 44 Mag carbine. It's basically a M1 Carbine that has been converted to a 44 Magnum pump action. Still clip feed, and is quite the assault weapon on hogs.

1903 springfield with heavy target stock that fires .22 LR... haven't researched it, but think it was a military training rifle. Has "M2" stamped on the barrel and receiver. Looks like brand new and has extra mag still in the wrap. Was given to me by my brother-in law about a year ago. If anyone knows anything about these rifles, I would appreciate the info.

It depends on who you ask. Some people would tell you its my Bushmaster. I get the usual "what do you need that for?". Otherwise I don't own anything "weird". Unless you count my Polytech M-14. It talks to me, in Chinese. Thats weird isn't it?

How about a percussion cap 12ga shotgun with front and rear sights? My dad said it was a firearm from South Africa. I haven't done the research on the piece, so I don't know the manufacturer or its date. I keep saying I'll do it soon.

Do I win?

I have got one that's is weird. The Stery GB pistol.

Out of everything that I own, the Sprinfield M6 Scout is the oddest that I have.
Sporting a single shot .22 in the upper barrel and a .410 in the lower barrel. NO trigger guard(trigger is a large lever instead of a small regular trigger) holds several .22s and .410s in the stock, ALL METAL, it breaks down in the middle with one pull-ring and is flat olive drab.

Mine looks like the one pictured but is an older/original/American modle (the one pictured is "postban" and made in the Check Republik for Springfield) NO trigger guard and is flat olive drab.
