kit gun

Kit guns are multi-purpose utility handguns, intended to be used for small game hunting, plinking, pest control, and self defense. They are generally small, lightweight, .22 rimfire revolvers, designed to be easily packed in a hunting, camping or fishing "kit". They are ideally suited for shooting snake shot at snakes, rodents, birds, and other pest at very close range. They are also commonly used as the coup de grâce by hunters and fishermen or as a method of animal euthanasia when drug overdose is not available.

    Show your kit gun?

    So, the muzzle-loader kits have been around for a while. I built one many years ago (handgun), while one of my brothers did the same (a Hawken-pattern rifle). Thought this might be a fun thread: care to share pictures of your handy work? Cheers. :)
