MT 255 Russian revolver shotgun

[shogun]

What do you guys think?

Yes or Nay?

Is it yours? How does it shoot? Certainly looks interesting... Depending on how many shells it holds, I suspect it would have the speed of a semi-auto with the reliability of a manual action.

would make a mean sawn off.

Agreed... I'm still trying to figure out how many shells it holds though.

Looks like 5 shells:

I've long thought that; too bad rusarm shut down before I could gather the $$$$$...

was sold by armruss in montreal not bad but the triger pull was 1000 pounds and it only came in 20 gauge and was classified as a semi auto

A semi auto??? It's a REVOLVING action...

From the chamber positions in the pic, it looks like a 4 shooter, chamber positions at 12:00, 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00. The classification is interesting if indeed the gun fires with each pull of the trigger, but so does a DA revolver, yet it is considered different than a semi-automatic. I guess the classification answers my question as to whether it is a SA or DA. For those who care, adding a mag extension would be problematical. I would like to see a carbine version with rifle sights. Is this thing in current production, or is it a flash from the past?

That gun is the answer to a question that nobody asked.

that is so badass. i want one. just looking at the cylinder, however, i imagine the gun would be pretty heavy and not the most practical for hunting or carry but i dont care, i still want one


the first comment from the peanut gallery really ticked me off:

They steal the idea from Taurus?

these have been around since at least the 1850s. taurus

The butt-plate, pistol-grip and fore-end are all constructed of high-impact polymer for durability and corrosion resistance.

^this i dont like. plastic for durability? please.
oh but wait its not plastic, its a tactical 'high-impact polymer' -- that changes everything

 

[made Man]

You do know that there are polymers out there that are stronger than steel, right?

 

[tjhaile]

Some polymers may have a higher strength to weight ratio than steel, but that isn't the same thing as having a higher yield strength.

 

[MauserMike]

I guess there must be a pretty good flash coming through the cylinder gap.

I still want one!!!

 

[Seyek]

I want one. Any idea on what cost would be if they ever actually came in?

I've previously asked the "specialists" if a revolving action is considered a semi-automatic........I've yet to receive a concrete reply....

 

[TGC]

Old looking gun, nice engering, but is it really usefull, or just am item to get money from people, could it be another edsel or breklin

 

[Hawes]

How would you be able to hunt with this in most provinces where the limit is 3 shells total?
