I would have to say that I agree with Rick & Hitzy. Mainly a toy.

Still want one haha. Worry about finding something to shoot out of it later.

I would comment on that, but there is no discussion of those types of activities allowed on the boards.

Finding 26.5mm is really tough - even finding some 4 bore flares can be a tall order. 37mm loaded flares - forget about it.

12 gauge inserts for 26.5mm are available though.

Make sure to buy the short 12 gauge flares. 2 3/4" flares are too long for the adaptors.

True, they are... Might as well just get one of pistols though, as the adapters are very short and would render all that barrel useless.

Good to know.

I've got a Polish flare pistol already. I like my milsurp toys and just add these to the collection as something different.

too much money for a curiousity. I'd buy it for less than $200, but for close to $800 to my door, forget it.

Likely a trades import, and weimerjack is a dealer supplied by trade ex.

Surplus, but factory new and still in light grease from storage.
