37mm Destructive device

[Member 34319]

Do they make the .410's in 37mm?

No, sorry, that was for the 40mm.

Got a link? I wonder if theres enough meat to turn the 40mm down to 37 mm?

I just remembered I own a lathe and a milling machine and a crapload of specialty tooling

Think I'll make a 4 or 5 round 37mm beehive in rifled bore 45 colt.

I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that!

If the 22 was rifled it would be good as the basis for an interesting volley fire "derringer" without a tax stamp too.

If you figure out a way to fit 4 or so 22s into something that fits a 12 gauge, let me know how much of a donation I need to send to you!

I need other things to do with my little SBS other than flares and mini shells.

From the looks of it, 4x 410 in a 37 mm adapter might be a little thin on the walls. However, a 3x adapter would probably work pretty well...
I'm really considering a Havoc myself....

I sure miss BLAMO-AMMO. Anything 12 ga.

I have one of the Eastern Block steel 37mm flare guns. I ended up making a 12 ga. adaptor for it. Both of my boat flare guns are the old 12 ga./20mm kits, the guns are plastic but they have metal 12 ga. adaptors. Have to be careful with any adaptors though, Canadian Customs can get really snotty.

Sure its a 37 mm. All the east bloc stuff Ive seen are 26.5mm

 

[Capn Jack]

You're right. I just dug it out and it says it's a 26.5 Rak Pist 78 HK.

It's a whole kit I bought years ago at a salvage store. Nice carrying case with shell loops, cleaning rod and what looks like a compartment for maps. I bought it as a spare for my, "Plastic" flare guns and because it's made out of metal.

40mm, 37mm, 12ga, 20ga subcaliber adapters legally require the host flare launcher or firearm to be stamped as a AOW or DD seeing as you're creating a firearm. Rifled ones like I have might even SBR depending on the launcher setup.

They're kinda fun, tho

It wouldn't be either if it was rifled, I wasn't planning on using a flare launcher, or if I did it would be modified so it couldn't be used as a flare launcher so it would be .22 caliber.

37mm. Its only a DD when its got antipersonnel rounds in it .

...or when it has a rifled bore.

 

[CountryGent]

Looks like a neat-o project.

Is the paperwork for a DD any more involved than other NFA items? This intrigues me

 

[HotRodGuy]

@wired, registered DD. Debating between leaf sight, quadrant sight, or EOTech with Sage reticle.

Same thing. Easy stuff

 

[Knebel]

Isnt shooting 15 rounds with one trigger pull a machinegun? Anyway, i think only the 40mm are destructive devices right?
