my new rifle
« on: April 02, 2008, 19:40:39 »
 Hey,  :wave:

       I haven't posted in a while, or looked at the site
 in a while, but. I made this short calvary rifle a little
while after my birthday, but never did any thing with
it. I might make a mold out of it so I can make more,
I just thought I could share it, also I forgot what short
rifles are called  ???, I think carbines or something, but any
advice, help, or comments are definalelty welcome.

A neat custom, Seawarrior, and, as you say, it is a carbine.  I think they were developed for use by cavalry as the full size musket or rifle was awkward to carry and handle on horseback.

thanks for the comment playmofire
I have another rifle, but it's not as
 good at all, the glue wouldn't stick
so I had to use tape, enjoy. Sorry for
 the fuzzy pic.

i think carbine is the proper name.  :)
you can see it here _ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbine
welcome back seawarrior, it's always nice to see a sea-playmo-friend get back to port.  :love:

p.s. maybe you could have another go at "shooting" your rifle (the pictures are hard to see)
  ;)
