If those cheap bastards on Sons of Guns can make a tactical Thompson, they can sure as hell make one of these. And good lord, i’d buy it D:
Besides, you can give it to your designated marksman. He’ll use it to good effect lol.
a foregrip on a pistol is a big no-no without AOW status. good thing its just a photoshop.
If the stock/grip telescopes on the tacticool version, that would also make it an SBR due to the bbl length. All these dumbass laws need to go the way of the dodo.
RIFLE IS FINE. UGH.
It’s a pistol
I had to laugh, because “as is” the Ranch Hand is total BS. If I could build one like the photoshopped one then it would actually make sense(stock extended of course). LMAO ROFL and eff the BTAFE.
This little handgun / rifle is a blast to shoot and the 357 /38 can take out a Racoon @ 100 yds. So what’s BS about that butthead!!!!
Tactical, tactical, tactical. Am I the only person alive that is so freaking tired of hearing this term?
It imbues the wannabees with a sense of skill while depleting them of their money. Tactical is within your hands, heart, and skill. It cannot be bought.
Thats funny, because when I was 12, I saw things like “tactical vest” and “tactical stock” and looked up what it meant. I remember being really confused.
Now the term has lost meaning to me, and they’re divided into: hmm that looks useful! and thats tacticool-looking!
In many cases (such as this) it’s used with a deep sense of irony. It’s become a self-parody. And yes, the front grip turns a pistol into an AOW (right? I’m still learning), but the extensible stock turns it into an SBR. You’d probably be fined according to the number of BATFE bureaucrats’ heads that exploded trying to reconcile all your violations with their regulations, which are themselves what they call “living, breathing documents”. Or “lurking in ambush” or something like that.
“Tactical is within your hands, heart, and skill. It cannot be bought.”
Wow man. That was beautiful :’D
pffffft…..there ain’t no shoulder thing that goes up. Tacti-un-cool…..
Rule #1 of Tactical: Look Cool.
I think it’s hilarious that if I could manage to conceal it, I could carry a mare’s leg. Maybe off-body? Hmm…
Two big options: strong-side, in a leg holster and covered by a duster (think Zoe from Firefly); or muzzle-down in a shoulder rig like the shotgun in Andrews Custom Leather’s “Firepower” rig.
And if you can carry an AK-47 “pistol” or an AR “pistol”, this shouldn’t raise many eyebrows. At least it’s in a traditional pistol cartridge…
Ah, the Steve McQueen “Wanted: Dead or Alive” Mare’s laig for me. His fired standard Hollywood 5 in 1 blanks, but he had monster .45/70 rounds (dummies) in his belt for a pronounced visual effect.
Later versions had his finger lever blown out a bit and the hammer tilted up to facilitate cocking. After the show was over, he went on to do “The Magnificent Seven”, a borrowing of the “Seven Samurai” from Kurasawa. On the set he seemed to enjoy tormenting Yul Brynner, kicking dirt of Yul’s “close up mound”. (Yul was short, and stood on a pile of dirt to hide that in closeups.)
Yul had never done a western before, so McQueen was tasked to teach him the fundamentals of quick draw. Yul learned quickly, but McQueen would always put in a bit of flair, a spin-flip on holstering when being filmed, which looked too good to cut to the editors compared to the “square” draw and holster motions of Yul. McQueen ended up with more screen time than Brynner.
That’s surprising McQueen did that to Yul Brynner, because he did the same thing during filming of the Great Escape when standing beside the author of “The Tunnel King”
My first Mare’s Leg was a 1894 Winchester Trapper in 45 Colt with a 16″ bbl. Carried nine rds of hollow-point. My Lt had me keep it in my cruiser for when we had liquor or drug raids. Some times it was a toss-up whether he wanted the mare’s leg or the red 9 broomhandle with shoulderstock leading the bust. He talked me out of the 94 when I went back on active duty, I wouldn’t part with the red 9. I now own a couple of mare’s legs in stainless and blue. Shooting them is an acquired taste and practice technique. But the S.A.S.S. matches are a blast when the only long gun I carry in my hand is a rabbit eared double. Everthing else is on the gun belt.
LOL. I’m thinking; “I’ve never seen that before.” then noticed it was photoshopped. looks impractical enough to be fun.
Forget the photoshop version I resently mounted a quad rail to my Rossi Ranch Hand. Go to the attached website to view the pic. It looks and feels great. I am currently trying to see if there is a market so please email me your opinions. I still plan to powder coat the parts to make it all black again.
The Rossi Mare’s Leg isn’t even to scale! The stock needs about two inches knocked off and the barrel’s about an inch too long just @ a quick glance! I know in some shows it had the rounded loop, but in most screen shots the loop was more square!
Would like more info on quad rail for rossi ranch hand…….
The quad rail is for an AR that I got off Amazon. I CNC machined a front a back adapter plate to replace the front stock. I mill bored the front and back of the quad rail to match the adapter plates and it fits up perfect. I removed the front sight to disassemble the front stock and instead of putting it back on I made a collar that would cover over the dove tail cut into the barrel. I have the accessories on now so I need to post a new picture.
tactical ranch hand? imo, that is all kinds of wrong.
i like wood & steel and think it makes for the most aesthetically pleasing guns. black tacti-cool is just the flavor of the month imo.
to each their own of course…..but when i bought my mini 14, i got rid of the cheapo black synthetic stock as quickly as i could & put a fine wood stock on it
the ranch hand is plenty cool…AS IS!
Here is the way around the ATF mess… Keep the same stock – just rubberize it for better grip – the foregrip can be changed to a “tactical” style, ergonomic grip with a top and side rail for a red dot sight and a tactical light. No under mount rail is really needed on this type of weapon. Lastly, rubberize the foregrip, and parkerize the barrel and action area. All that would be needed is a Cordura Nylon “tactical” style thigh holster and your all set.
I purchased the 44 caliber version of the Rossi strictly for the visual impact and to have something that makes me smile when I see it. I have a wide variety of guns but this is the only one that brings back good memories of a televsion show I liked , an actor I liked from his acting, and a “unique” gun. If I wanted something more accurate, less hassle, or whatever I would have bought a double for one of the other guns I have. This was a pleasure gift to myself and I enjoy it for what it is. I have long rilfes but if i had the chance to by a copy of the riflemen’s rifle i would do it just to have it. what can i say other than that? Buy it because it makes you smile and if it doesn’t leave it on the shelf and don’t critize it.
