1980'S Firearms

[FourTeeFive]

Imagine that in .45 Long Colt/.410

Here you go. .45-70 and .45LC/.410 out of a derringer.

Not a 4 shot big bore like the .357 example ya showed 2 shots I know of. But not a 4 shot version?

Okay, that's late 70s I believe.

I can't believe I passed on one with original box for $300 in 1999.

Dumb regret not buying that, and getting a mossberg 590 military instead.

I bought one of these in the 80s An FN FNC

Weren't those more commonly known as either AMT or "AutoMag" handguns

No, Wildey guns were another manufacturer.

AMT was Arcadia Machine & tool which started a line of pistols under the AutoMag name - post Harry Sanford of Auto-Mag fame who designed the Dirty Harry 'Sudden Impact' .44. AMT also made an early 1911 clone called the 'Hardballer'.

Auto - Mag however has been resurrected to some degree making the 'DIrty Harry' model.

Look at it this way you saved shelling out $100 a mag lol

Wasn't the 80's vintage ? The company was founded in 1982

If you ever get one the wolf spring kit ( pain in the back part to replace ) probably about $10 makes the world of difference ! I could shoot that thing better than my Glock it is ugly but feels so natural you have to hold one to know what I'm talking about .

 

[PORSCHE928S4]

I know not 80's vintage but the tactakewl accessories for the SKS and the 10/22 were all the rage ! Having a sks with a folding stock and a 30 round mag ( that worked sometimes ) great ! Leaving a SKS factory and never failed even if you shot it sideways priceless !

This one was born in 1986. (Guns and Roses reference? Nope, never a big fan ... of the group. Actual guns and roses, can't get enough. )

I never owned one but wouldn't mind one maybe a 45 ? The 9mm I have covered with the CZ micro still enjoying $19 magazines for it .

Ramline(syn tech) didn't make it into the new millennium.
Butler creek did. Choate is probably honestly the best of breed for the era.
Ati is godawful. And yet, much like promag industries, seems to be thriving .

I've found it a ton of fun with lots of giggle factor. (Though the cyclic rate is nuts; I need to acquire one of those bolts that slows it down. But, I digress.)

Edit to add: The 2 in the upper middle are actually "Baby Auto Mag's". They shoot 22LR. Still made in the 80's.

Weren't those more commonly known as either AMT or "AutoMag" handguns (not to be confused with the paintball gun line)?

Wildey was its own entity.

LOL. I remember a recent Firearms News (formerly Shotgun News) that described shooting one as "spooning with a live grenade".
