Before i post the pictures of my new toy, i would like to clarify a few things (to keep our favourite moderator happy, and stop any wild accusations flying about!!!); This gun is 100% Section 1 and legal. The barrel is approx 350mm and the overall length is 604mm. Although it may look like there is a moderator on the end of the barrel, it is not. It is a piece of tube that slides over the end of the barrel, and has no other effect than to look good. It does not reduce the noise, so does not need to be entered on my ticket. now that the pointless formalities are over, here is my new toy!  Calico M100 .22LR semi auto long barrelled pistol. 100rds magazine (on the top)   I modified this gun from a rifle, and have got it working very reliably! It is great fun to shoot, and the magazine seems to last for ever! The only slight problem is it is top heavy, and needs a counter weight on the top. |

it weights 2kg fully loaded. I think a holster may be a bit tricky, although calico did produce them i beleive. Unfortunatly i can't make the Comp at Leicester otherwise i would have probably done it with my lbr. and yeah, reloads would be tricky as i only have one magazine, but have been promised a spare. |
in place or without? 
 If you want to bait me into another arguament, how about at the weekend when i have some free time?

From the inside |
That wouldn't be fair on him

I think it looks interesting and different. If that's your thing then go for it. If we all had the exact same rifles/lbr/pistol/S1/S5/shotgun whatever then life would be so boring. Thanks for sharing the pics Taffy |
pfft maybe not... i never said the calico was accurate, its more of a fun gun. For competitions i would choose my tricked up 10/22 any day!!! And there is only one way to settle this! Pistols at dawn!!! (propper smooth bore dueling pistols - there will be no cheating here!) I demand you give me a chance to regain my honour! |
A good old fashoined "DUEL" Pistols at dawn....come on guys it's gotta be black powder... Anyone got a video camera..? A nice set of deuling pistols for this event. Orders popcorn.... Cheers Taffy |
Well i have plenty of black powder... and a few nice sets of dueling pistols (Mantons, Mortimers etc...) So, Flintlock or Percussion, any preference? |
Percussion's always good for a laugh....  I got some info over the web for a guy I know who had a very old pocket/coat pistol and it turned out to be an "Egg"... 
|
Hehe well my dads into all that black powder stuff, and the biggest supplier of it in the UK (link) He also has a big collection of antique rifles and pistols (mostly cased)... But i'm personally not into all that stuff! |
At least your dad is proof that at least out of the two of you, he's the one with the taste
|
I'm not old enough to get into black powder and antiques yet!!! |
