    A pity the Taurus judge wasn't given the same treatment (stretching at both ends) would make a very novel bunny or bail gun indeed.

    Pretty much a specialist Cowboy Action firearm - they fill a very obvious period niche role there. Same caliber as the pistols used, big advantage in terms of reloading and ammo costs.

    Calm down bro, our parents have been raised watching those old western movies , and there was way less crimes and problems at the time.
    Those old movies are soft compared to the carnage of a John Wick movie.
    And to my eyes there is nothing wrong with cowboy action shooting, but maybe you have a problem with it?

    you have me wrong completely I like cowboy movies and cowboy action shooting - the bullshit is the great roll of rifles' on his saddle nah the putting together of a stock on a revolver while baddy advances shooting at him nah those stretch the imagination - like 8 shots from a peacemaker - and when did you last see one of those stupid alpha carbines at a western shoot at a pistol club nah people are buying them sadly many for all the wrong reasons and many just for the look - and they are not doing the legitimate hunters and target shooters any favours

    Any firearm can be cut down for easy concealment, but it seems only criminals do it, so to prevent this happening perhaps we should all hand in our firearms after all that is the only way to prevent law abiding firearms owners supplying the criminals.
    Think about it this is what GCNZ the POLICE and the leftist news reporters want, if it wasn't, why would they keep pushing the "straw purchasing" story when the statistics don't support what they are saying and the news reporters are repeating

    You could say the alpha carbine is an evolutionary copy of the buntline carbine, and there have been many firearms that are a copy of old firearms over the years and it's a legal A cat firearm.

    How about we stop selling grinders and hacksaws or any other metal cutting tool.

    Then the crims wouldn't be able to cut down any firearms.

    There is one massive flaw in GCNZ's hand-wringing here - GCNZ told everyone The Register will stop firearms moving to crims. Are they now saying it wont work for these?

    Both claims cant be true at the same time.

    or that they caught these crims BEFORE the register cam into being... Not required then to catch these people? I bet the people involved got their licenses during the "Soft" period, same as a certain Australian.
