The Space Cowboy

Saw this earlier this morning, thought others may want to admire it.

The Space Cowboy

Maybe not a practical shooter, not historically correct, and not in most people’s price range, but it’s a nice looking piece of artwork.

Interesting. I can admire the craftsmanship, but would not put it on my wish list even if I could afford it.

I dont like the grip, if they wanted a Remington clone, they should have copied the Remington grip.

 

[Nor Cal Mikie]

You have to at least appreciate the craftsman ship that went into building it.

They should have left the rock the way they found it.

I'll stick with Pietta and uberti

That's not a 'clone' of anything. It's a machinist's creation. And a damn amazing one at that.

I'm over here like That grain structure…

What kind of self respecting gun enthusiast doesn't appreciate this?!?!

I urge you to create something more interesting!

Pretty is as pretty does. That abomination just don't move me.

If you get a cap jam is that considered a space jam?

Very nice pieces Swabs. I mean, really nice. I love the slung cannon.

Are any of them, by chance, machined out of a solid piece of space billet?

Interesting...But, everytime I see exorbitantly expensive firearms "made from a meteorite!" I think to myself...Huh, literally EVERY single firearm on Earth is made from the exact same thing!

It looks like a very talented artist spent a lot of time putting some beautiful tattoos on a really ugly woman.

 

[B P Arn]

^^^ or the other way around.

I’m with @Dusty_Traveler on this one. It’s got a kinda steampunk look to it that is slightly off putting, but you cannot deny the skill it took to create this piece.

The hand cannon and pistol mortar were cast from patterns i built. The swivel blunderbuss was made from a solid prop shaft i found diving and cut off the wreck. The double barrel was machined from solid and tig welded together. Currently im building a french pistol mortar and spanish blunderbuss pistol out of the last pieces of the shaft that made the swivel blunderbuss.

You are rijght. It’s just a coincidence it happens to look exactly like a Remington’58, right down to the front sight.

Oh an 1858 was his inspiration, no doubt. Still not a clone.

I agree it would be much more interesting with a more conventional grip. It is truly an achievement ... of some kind, maybe the third kind.
