New Pistol Out of Russia

[mikec]

You'll never see it in the US. The trade agreement with Russia bans firearms exports to the US.

Does it ban or restrict licensing or designs? I could see some company license the patents and work on the design some more.

That would be Chad's good buddy Chuck Rogers
He will be along soon........

I thought that is who you meant. Did you send Chuck an email or PM him on 1911forum?

BTW, I doubt that any gunsmith will deride a new concept until either they or an independent group evaluate the design. This design may be revolutionary or just junk. Testing will tell us which this gun is.

Chad,
I don't know who or what MyAiry is. And I don't care.
Why is he my 'fanboy'? No idea.
I make no claims to being a 'gunsmith'. I am a 1911 smith.
I do not 'troll' gunboards.
I have made several public statements stating that I am impressed with your
knowledge in general.
I do not offer technical advice here because I do not participate here. This is my 3rd post.
What the heck is your problem?

No idea or in depth knowledge here. But, (speculation here) Mt. Airy is a fan of your smith work. I haven't seen it nor do I know what to look for so I cannot comment on your quality or lack thereof. Where do you offer technical advice? I'm interested in 1911s and am looking for as many informed opinions as possible.
Mt. Airy attempted to bring you into this fight by stating you'd be around to set Chad straight either through personal or professional means. Aside from that I don't know and I don't care.

I just wonder how Mr Rogers found out about this thread??

If people go to Chuck's site and like 1911s, have paper towels nearby to wipe up the drool. Nope, not being a kiss ass, just like the work.

I want to apologize again and I sincerely mean that. The board can use every Smith that it can, the more the better in my opinion.

Okay, let's stick to a discussion of the subject matter at hand, the new pistol out of Russia. It's no fun to start a thread about something you want to discuss and have it hijacked by other folks' drama.

I'll hold off on any comments on the gun till I either see one one or shoot one. Just because it has a "NEW" lockup system doesn't automatically make it better than JMB's 1911 design. We'll see what time has to tell and we'll see if it's still around AND still popular after 100 years.

 

[BradMacc82]

Haha, maybe in 100 years the front sight will be centered in the dovetail???


Firearm manufacturing and Vodka, good times.

 

[krashmania]

So will this new locking thingamajig increase repeatable precision?

 

[smokey]

still want this one.

 

[BradMacc82]

still want this one.

Now that looks interesting! I can think of at least 3, maybe 4, handguns where they seem to have taken some cues and blended them all into one.

 

[Rattlesnake46319]

Does it ban or restrict licensing or designs? I could see some company license the patents and work on the design some more.

Or just wait for the Chinese to steal the design.

I'm interested in this one.

Probably a rotating setup like the cougar or some form of roller delayed blowback.

I thought the ban on Russian firearms applied to military surplus. Yes, no?

 

[Scott7891]

We might be able to get it and more Russian Firearms previously banned because since Russia has recently joined the world trade organization previous treaties are null and void including firearms related treaties.
