I was not familiar with this priming method either and had to do some research. I hope this helps.
BENET-PRIMED - A common style of inside-primed car-tridge developed by Col. S.V Benet commander of Frankford Arsenal in the late 1860s. It was used extensively in early U.S. military ammunition. A copper or iron cup was secured inside the head of the case by characteristic crimps. This cup served as an anvil to enable the firing pin to activate the priming mixture and also to reinforce the head of the case.
Very interesting. So the cup had to be dropped in through the neck. It's cool to see a little firearm history.

This is very interesting. Excuse my ignorance, but, what is the purpose of the crimp at the bottom of the .44 Colt and the .50 Rem. in the last pic?
-
I like it.

Thanks, everyone. A whole lot of the fun is the building

No, it is simply a "firearm". Neither handgun nor long gun. You could make one yourself if you started with an original pistol grip only "shotgun" of any barrel length, which actually is also an "other firearm", not actually a "long gun". Or from a virgin receiver. Federally, must not be concealed on the person or it reverts to NFA status.
A weapon designed to fire shot shells only can never be a handgun/pistol no matter how configured or by whom.

So I assume there is no tax stamp required but it's best not to carry one around in the truck...
-
That is cool. I would love to have one of these beside the bed AND in the truck. I just want to make sure I understand...The short barrel is legal since it was manufactured this way so it’s technically a shot pistol?
-
An A2 flash hider, crush washer, MOE FDE handguard and buttstock to finish up my AR build.

Thanks for the replies. I can't wait to get in the blind. I will definitely keep your advice in mind. More lead might help me on the skeet field.

I went to the Big Sandy blind drawing this weekend. I've never been duck hunting nor have I ever been to a blind drawing. I got an opportunity this year so I put in with some people. My ticket was drawn 8th. All the stories you hear about people offering $$$$ for top spots is true. I turned them down of course. We are hunting in one helluva spot. The blind we got is supposed to be a top 5 blind most years. We have to rebuild it this year. Any tips for a newbie duck hunter would be appreciated. Mostly I plan on just watching and learning from the other guys in the blind. I shoot trap and skeet occasionally. Should I be hitting the skeet range or do I need to start hitting the sporting clays course?

Except it's not a rifle.

I see. Went back and re-read. Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I thought the subject got changed.
And that brace looks dangerously close to a stock to me. Still a nice looking gun...
-
This really makes me want another AR. Nice looking rifle

Man, I like that.
We'd need a little more width to get two Pro Anglers up there, but I like that setup.
I couldn't get two boats on here if it wasn't for the cradle. But you could definitely use heavier unistrut and make it wider.

Man, what are you talking about? I've been putting them on and off of my XTerra. This will be great. The wife goes more than I do so we had a hitch and light harness put on her car because she just can't get them on top of the XTerra.

If you've been thinking about making something like this maybe you can get some ideas from this.
I should also mention that the racks are 5ft. wide.

I built a kayak trailer from a Harbor Freight trailer kit. The kit was $249 for basically a rolling chassis. It included the frame, wheels springs, lights and coupler. I had to get all the wood and make the racks. Also, that is not the tongue that came with it. That is a piece of 2 1/2" x 12' square tubing I bought because the tongue that came with it was too short. The racks are unistrut. I can fit 2 kayaks and a canoe on it as is. But I believe I could get 4 kayaks if I had 4 sets of cradles. The trailer is 40"w X 48" long. It works fine for our 12' canoe and kayaks. But I would need to add another support up from the tongue if I wanted to haul anything longer. Y'all don't laugh at my grill collection and mattress box.
The tongue looks longer than it is. It is only sticking out 8'
I took some paddle holders and lashing hooks and made a way to carry the paddles.
I drilled holes directly into the unistrut for the barrel bolts to latch. The hinges are from a gate kit.

I filled mine with ice Friday night at about 7:30. This morning at around 10 I checked and the 20 oz was melted but still COLD so I called it at 36 hrs (it still had ice when I went to bed last night but I didn't think to check it early this morning). The 30 oz still had some ice. I dumped it out because my patience had run out and I was ready to use them. But there was enough ice to easily go another 12 hours in the 30. The wife and I filled them both up with Gatorade at around 2 this afternoon. We went to Costco and did some other running. After a 1 hour drive and 3 hours in a hot car the Gatorade was still nice and cool when I took the last drink around 6:30 on the way home...no ice. I am thoroughly impressed with these cups.

Mail lady just dropped my two off. I got a 20 and a 30. These things look great. Everybody at the office likes the logo.
I'm with jonathon1289...if this ever happens again i would take another 20 oz

Thanks for the help!

It literally made me a new account using my email as my UN.

Thanks in advance for any help btw...

I tried to log in. I couldn't so I clicked the password link. I entered my email address, it recognized it and sent me an email with a reset link. I clicked it and entered the new password. It logged me in but under a new account. My UN is KaNuckles.

I'll have to pick that up. I loved one second after. I actually got it on audible. Some kind of mass attack on the power grid is what I am afraid of. Thanks for the recommendation. BTW One Year After, the sequel to One Second After, is out
And that brace looks dangerously close to a stock to me. Still a nice looking gun...
