I should start this post by observing that Coal Creek Armory is currently being featured on Deal Chicken with a $37.50 Basic Handgun Safety Class (regularly $60), a $37.50 Women’s Handgun Essentials Class, a $100 1 Year Range Membership (normal value $200), a $182.50 Basic Handgun Safety Course Package (including the Basic Handgun Safety Class, a Handgun Carry Permit Class, and 1 Year Membership), or a $182.50 Women’s Handgun Essentials Class Package (including the Women’s Handgun Essentials Class, a Handgun Carry Permit Class, and a 1 Year Membership). You want options? They got options. But, regardless, show up to the range 10 times over the course of the year, and that Membership will pay for itself, and HCP courses run $90 these days, so it is really hard to go wrong with any of those deals.
Now, on to the part you really care about – yes, the aforementioned NFA toy made it home today. Unfortunately, there are only so many ways to frame this thing in a picture that does not give it all away all at once, and I am fairly certain someone will be able to figure it out off this shot alone, but such is the nature of the beast:
I should have bought one of these ages ago.
[Update] I forgot to mention the rules – one picture per day, and I am not saying anything about it, nor answering questions, nor putting up the “good” pictures, until someone gets it right… or at least in the ballpark. [/Update]
I guess I’m baffled.
Well, given that your “picture” looks something like a supernova with a firing pin in the middle, I can only assume you now own a galaxy destroying “machine cannon” of some kind. I shall endeavor to narrow it down a bit more with each pic.
I’m gona go with an SBS. That looks like a firing pin down there, and if I’m right then it’s a smooth-bore of some sort. Only smooth-bore stuff that I know of that is NFA is either an auto-shotgun or an SBS. I’m going to guess further from the lighting that is not a break open (it looks like we are looking at the bolt face straight on, and it is lit from the chamber), so no short double coach gun, so it’s probably more along the lines of a serbu super shorty or something like that.
How close am I?
I second the galaxy cannon idea. Who knew that Darth Vader had to go through the BATFECR’s hoops to make the Death Star?
“I am fairly certain someone will be able to figure it out off this shot alone”
I am fairly certain I didn’t even need the picture, but wfgodbold beat me to posting. I mean, really, isn’t it the first thing we would all rush out and get a dozen of if they weren’t NFA?
It looks like it belongs in Nipples at the Met.
I don’t think its a can. that really looks like a shotgun bolt face to me. Unless someone knows something about cans that I do not (which would not necessarily be all that hard), that looks like an awfully small hole for even a .22 to get through, and there something in it to boot. i stand by my original guess: serbu super shorty or equivalent.
I’m with Luculoc. Definitely a firing pin channel, and no rifling to speak of, but plenty of light bouncing off what I presume is a breech face. SBS is my vote too.
I was hoping for a can.
Serbu super shorty
You paid $5 rather than $200 to ATF?
Suppressor on either a 9mm or .45 ACP handgun. I measured primer sizes against the pic using the ring the primers left, but since I can’t really tell if it’s a large or small pistol primer… That’s my guess though.
Could be a 20 gauge SBS or AOW too I guess… Something seems a bit off though…
Well I’m late to the party but it looks like a picture down the barrel of a 12 gauge SBS. Couldn’t say beyond that.
I have no idea, but I can’t wait to find out.
[...] ID this toy [...]
Looks to be a fired cartridge in a revolver. .38 Spl. or .357 Mag. in a revolver with a stepped muzzle.
