It was sensationalism to sell news.

Medieval crossbowmen would have understood much better. A little lard might help but it's the point and momentum.

Ammo? He's got ammo????

Tony has the “Free Masons” stash!

Perhaps he will sell me some? Heh Heh!!!

If any interest I'll look for mag safe, thv, ktw and other unusual ammo.

My only ND [actually didn't pull the trigger, but handed it to someone who knew nothing about firearms] was in my old house, with blue-Glaser rounds in my then-new 93 USP40. It penetrated the sheet-rock, but not my exterior wood-lapped siding. I was very happy about that.

That was worth the high price of them.

Glad no one was hurt! ND can be quite unsettling to anyone around that witnessed it... including the person that was responsible for it.
Glad everyone was ok.

Bolt, boxlock, sidekick or the re issue of the rising bite?

The woodwork on the stocks are amazing... not to mention the engraving on the first one!!!

They do amazing work. Absolutely amazing.

I don't see a retail price sheet.

if you have to ask you can't afford it. The guy that ordered that first one thinks he is important I guess.

Fake ones. The FG 42s looked pretty good.

Big ones

Dang! VP70z $259.00 + 3% prepay discount and free shipping!!! I think I paid a lot more that that!
I wonder what the SR 25 went for?!?

A passed-on friend bought one new. I'm sure it was about 2-2.5K

I tried pretty hard to import a SR93, back in the day. I contacted Mauser directly, and they sent me two brochures , a note, and a cool paper-clip.

It's a crude but robust gun. 2k-2500??? Wow. I thought I had a brochure for VP70z but cant find it. I don't think the advertised it much in 80s even though they were trying to sell them. I might have just seen the brochure.

Beretta anyone?
