Using a magnifier with a prism optic sounds like a nightmare. You'd have to set the diopter for the prism, then hopefully be able to set the diopter for the magnifier to get a clear sight picture. I've never tried doing this, but I can definitely see potential problems arising.
Primary arms makes one designed for their 1x prism. It's certainly a bit odd, but interesting. Not something I'd pay for, but would like to try.
More than 10 years ago, I was browsing Armslist and saw a S&W Model 500 for sale, .500 S&W Magnum. Advertised as "only one round fired."Anecdotally, I inherited a couple Ruger speed sixes in .357 magnum with 3" barrels, and actually years later, someone found the ammo the original owner bought to use with them (this was a bit of a "hoarders" situation so it was literally buried, but a dry hoard fortunately): some Fiocchi .357 magnum ammo.
There were exactly 6 rounds missing from the box of 50, and not one round more. I don't think they liked the experience.
Just happened to find a few of these the other day. One uses a ZB mag and I think the other is a US build using MG13 mags
I remember when that was a thing for the M76, back when people actually owned them. There were supposedly conversion guides and people were buying MG13 mags to work on since they were still dirt cheap.
I've actually done that with my M77 and some M14 mags. M77 mags were incredibly expensive for a while (still are but less so now that they're being imported again) so I bought some M14 mags and cut a slot in the back. That's all it is, just a relief at the front where it interfaces with the front trunnion. The rear locks up like it does in the M14. Just for shits and giggles I did it with a promag M14 50 rnd drum mag . The ones without anti-tilt followers work awful but the rest are fine.
Fuck yeah basement ingenuity.
AK's are great $700 rifles.
I'll probably hit it with that to fix the finish. The finish is "fine" for a $400 dollar rifle, which it was, when I bought it.
Something I noticed about this video is the woman never actually fires her gun.
It does look like AIDS. Why not just put that buttstock on a regular 590A1 and call it a day?
Worse still is the barrel with a dovetailed retainer for the heatshield and a rail. That's going to be stupidly expensive and if they want people to use flip-up sights they're out of their minds.
Considering the issues people are still having with the ACRO (moisture ingress, most notably), I'm not sure anyone should rush purchasing one of these. I'm still waiting to see how the Trijicon RCR holds up. There's still not a lot of user experience with it out there. Every major enclosed pistol dot seems to experience the moisture ingress issue. Maybe Trijicon will be the company that finally gets it right.
I've done this with my Hakim, its easier than these I think. You just modify the mags for the hakim and these I believe you have to modify the receiver with plates or possibly trim the receiver. I cannot really remember
