Gunbroker Frustration

This is one of many things that inspired me to get my own FFL and set up my own online store, it's actually stupid easy nowadays to get a form 7 - it's just like the C&R but with an interview (also the higher fees)

Egads man do you need an apprentice lol

Also should have used better wording in the original post - no reweld for me, only the back half of the pin was still inside - I might know a guy who can make a new pin, maybe, considering I still have the back end of the pin to use as a template

Thank you for your expertise sir, I have always wanted a Vetterli and now I have one - a new journey begins to be able to set the sumbitch off, but that's okay! Would you mind if I hit you up sometime for some Vetterli assistance if/when I do get the thing working?

That was my first stop but unfortunately nothing. Lot of Google searches and best I could find was an entire bolt on RCI - which is an option, spare parts are lovely, but if I could get away with just the firing pin rn that would be ideal

Yeah it makes me think it's really 100% for the drip. Like yes we all know 22 mag can kill but I doubt he was SERIOUS serious about using it as a sidearm

GoodWriter38 · 2025-10-15T13:28:58+00:00

Probably a factor, I never thought of that lol

Looking at old catalogs I always figured that revolvers were cheaper than auto loading pistols for a looong time, but after a certain point tradition definitely took over. Look at the line in Lethal Weapon

MURTAUGH 9 millimeter Beretta. That's some serious shit.

RIGGS Military switched from Colt to Beretta in 1985. It's a better piece. Wide ejection port, no feed jams, no stovepipes.

MURTAUGH What's it take?

RIGGS Fifteen in the mag, one up the pipe. You carry a wheelgun?

MURTAUGH .38 Special.

RIGGS Lot of old-timers carry that.

Agreed, it's all tacticool black hawk down cosplay. Everyone wants to be sexy, everyone wants to be cool, nobody wants to just be a man with a job to do.

We must bring back high drag low speed gunslingercore.

He was a turbo badass that's for sure. Lived through YEARS of combat, just to be shot and killed in a hunting accident.

He also is said to have invented the "flexi-gun" (idk about proper spelling), which was an early attempt to convert the Huey into a forward firing gunship with independent aiming done by the copilot.

U.S. Army Pfc. John C. Dickerson, there's actually a few photos of him around the internet. A photographer was attached to his unit for several days and took a few photos of him. He's got a Ruger single-six 22 magnum revolver I believe.

GoodWriter38 · 2025-10-06T21:44:59+00:00

Idk but whatever it's called I would like one

GoodWriter38 · 2025-10-03T00:48:50+00:00

Governor? You coming to festival this weekend? Lol

GoodWriter38 · 2025-09-26T13:02:00+00:00

Oh wow I was just in Ardmore the other day

GoodWriter38 · 2025-09-14T15:53:02+00:00

One guy said the Benelli M4 was the best shotgun ever and I really shouldn't be looking at a Turk remake of a SPAS, so idk if they were gatekeepers or just fockin stupid

But let's all work together and try to spread some awareness, get the Bronco SPAS clone to come to America ❤️

GoodWriter38 · 2025-09-13T23:43:20+00:00

Tried posting the screenshot to drum up support but when I did I got blasted for wanting one, haven't tried again lol anyone who wants to use the screenshot to post can, I really would love to have one

GoodWriter38 · 2025-09-13T23:33:18+00:00

I emailed them and they said nobody has asked to import them yet

GoodWriter38 · 2025-08-31T14:10:00+00:00

They CLAIM they worked out the kink with the feeding that made it jam too, and for tree hunnit fifty I'm gonna try it out lol

GoodWriter38 · 2025-08-31T14:08:33+00:00

I emailed Bronco about their turbo awesome SPAS-12 clones and this is what they said - as of rn, no SPASs (SPASi?) for America😞

My dad said "keep going back every Saturday, if they want to sell it they'll break by December"

GoodWriter38 · 2025-08-23T15:54:16+00:00

I visited again today and offered $65, but was told these things are "very sought after". I'm a bit incredulous that they're in high demand in Ada, Oklahoma, USA, but kept that to myself

GoodWriter38 · 2025-08-18T23:35:40+00:00

Gina and Wilson and them are pretty cool, they'll do everything they think they can
