Sulun Arms Alofs System - Imports?

[Grenzer]

Did anyone have Sulun Arms reviving the Alofs system on their 2022 bingo card? I sure didn't.

Is there any chance we could get these into Canada? They're hardly practical but when has that stopped us before - besides, we can't let the Aussies have all the fun
For those unaware, the Alofs system was a bolt-on conversion for break action, single-shot shotguns back in the 1920s:

I'd have to get a single action too...

 

[Trapanese]

But why?

 

[GlockRocker]

I don't know why...but I need

Based on the description it sounds like it's a whole gun with the alofs, not just the alofs on its own.

wow. Actual Alofs system. I'm a sucker for old gun tech like these so I'm definitely interested.

Practically, it would make for an interesting addition to a take down gun being just a straight pipe in dimensions.

Now someone make a semiautomatic Huot conversion kit for the Savage Impulse straight pulls lol

They're definitely neat! There's tons of these old, esoteric systems that fell by the wayside decades ago that you look at as a gun owner and think "huh, sure wish we had that today."

Hopefully TI or another importer for Sulun will ask about bringing a run of these in. I get why these are being made primarily for the Australian market given their particular restrictions on magazine capacity, but they would be quite the novelty to have up here. Much like the short barrelled SS-211s and revolving shotguns we've been getting over the last few years, they'd make a fun range toy.

I'd definitely buy one in 12 gauge and maybe .410 if the price was right (and they came with a wood stock)

But why?

Why not?

 

[dutchm0n]

What are the chances of seeing these come in?

This was recently brought to our attention by Sulun, so we are looking into it, if the price is right we could look into adding to the next shipment

A completely ridiculous, obsolete system thats totally pointless and defeats the purpose of the gun its attached to...i want one.

Awesome to hear - so glad I made this thread! Save one for me, will ya? I think there's a lot of people out there that could make up some kind of justification for buying one

 

[dutchm0n]

Right on!

 

[dutchm0n]

Would be cool to get it with a shorter barrel maybe 14 inch barrel. Or to have it to the same length as the magazine.

Normally I have no interest in Turkish shotguns since so many of them seem to be cheaply made, but the Alofs device is so cool that I'd be willing to get one.
