Italian Glisenti Brescia Bodeo Model 1889 10.35mm/.44 Antique Revolver
Howdy Townpost! I've got an Italian jewel for you to take a look at here. This is an Italian Bodeo model 1889. These guns are among my favorite antique revolvers. They are a very simple rugged and easy to maintain and repair Military revolvers with one of the coolest safety/loading systems as part of its design. These revolvers are very well designed, and feature the safety, loading/unloading system called the "Abadie System". This system was designed in Portugal, but many European late 19th century designs incorporated it. This particular example is an 1897 production by Glisenti at Brescia. Glisenti made Bodeos from 1891 to 1906. This is considered a tipo (type) A or an enlisted model. The type A had a folding trigger which was considered safer and was issued to enlisted men and the type B was the officer's model and had a trigger guard. This particular gun is considered a late model because it has an internal hammer block safety, which is dovetailed into the hand (pictured). The early model had a external hammer block safety that was prone to breakage. I've personally seen multiple antique examples with broken external hammer block safeties. So it was a good move from a design standpoint to change. The early models also were finished in the white in a similar manner to the French model 1873 Chamelot-Delvignes were. This example is of course blued like the overwhelming majority of the late models. This revolver is in excellent condition mechanically and has minimal wear overall. The grips are in excellent condition and we're refinished professionally. The chambres and bore are in excellent & minty condition as well. And the bore itself is one of the best I've ever seen on a Bodeo, with clean, sharp and shiny lands and grooves. This revolver chambres the 10.35mm Italian ordinance cartridge. This cartridge is very similar to .44 Russian but has a smaller diameter bullet (.422) and a slightly tapered chambre. I have seen these shot with .44-40 bullets that are .427 in diameter. These revolvers were loaded with smokeless from the get-go in 1890 using ballastite, a smokeless propellant. For an additional fee on top of the price I can have the chambres slightly reamed so that they will accept .44 Russian cartridges. That way you can buy an off-the-shelf ammunition without the need to hand load. However these are quite easy to hand load and source components for. The revolver is located in Calgary AB for local delivery or pickup. Or I can ship it nationwide too.

SN G38552, manufactured in 1883, rated excellent overall. MAS Mle 1873 French Service Revolver, 11mm French Ordnance The Mle 1873 was France's first double action cartridge revolver. After the disastrous loss to Prussia in the war of 1870, the French military closely examined its armaments and small arms, and they came to the conclusion that a new, more rugged and powerful side arm for their infantry was required. The result was the Mle 1873, designed by the famous partners of Chamelot & Delvigne, whose genius ideas would dominate much of the European military (and commercial) small arms market for decades to come. Many European countries adopted their designs, including Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, Russia and Belgium. Only the Brits and Germans would continue to develop their own side arms.

Brand new TAC-12 "M3 Super 90" 12GA 20" Semi Auto/ Pump Action Shotgun $850
Brand New Non-Restricted Action: Semi Auto/ Pump Caliber: 12GA Capacity: 5 Barrel Length: 20" Ghost Ring Iron Sights Dual-Mode Capability Inertia-Driven Operating System Rough texture touchpoints Lifetime Warranty Coming with: Manual and choke tube kit. By using the receiver of an existing non-restricted shotgun we have been able to add M3 style components to achieve the same look, feel and function of the legendary M3 Super 90, but without the prohibited classification. The TAC-12 “M3 Super 90” is a dual-mode semi-automatic and pump action 12GA shotgun. It can be quickly converted from autoloading to pump by simply turning a spring loaded ring located on the end of the forearm. The M3 was developed in the 1980’s for special operations and elite law enforcement units who required a shotgun that could adapt to various tactical roles. It’s dual-mode system allows for effective operation of both standard and special purpose ammunition, (i.e. rubber, tear, flare, etc.) on the fly. The M3 was designed to operate under the most adverse conditions and boasts easy handling, accuracy and a high rate of fire. Notable adopters include the Canadian JTF2, Czech 601st Special Forces Group and French GIGN. The TAC-12 “M3 Super 90” features a 20” barrel threaded for interchangeable chokes. It has a 3” chamber and is fed by a 5-shot tubular magazine (6 shots, 2.75”). The extended magazine tube features a barrel clamp for additional durability. There is a magazine cut-off/chamber-dump button so the shooter can directly chamber a special round without having to cycle through the entire magazine. Fixed on top of the receiver are 3-dot ghost-ring sights for fast target acquisition, and tapped holes for the addition of an optional top picatinny rail. The stock is fixed polymer with non-slip grip checkering, with a rubber buttpad and a sling loop located on both sides. The pump handle is ergonomically shaped with non-slip channels for use with gloves or in wet environments. As the original, it is operated by the proven inertia system. This system delivers unmatched reliability, cleaner operation, and lightning-fast cycling in a lightweight, ultra-durable design. With fewer moving parts and minimal maintenance, it handles the toughest conditions with ease.
