No, not free as in no $$$; a Free Pistol as in Olympics. Showed up yesterday from Bud's.

TOZ-35M

Nice, I was on the fence about one of those as well.
The new ones like yours come with a little extra grip material but is the one I would get also.
IIRC there is at east one company that "did" make grips for them.

Looks like your box is complete with accesories.

Keep me informed on the accuracy once you have a chance to ring it out.

 

[willie_pete]

Don’t look for any report soon. It’s going to be a while to carve the grip.

:supergrin:

 

[sciolist]

Oh, man. Keep that away from me. If I got into that kind of shooting, I'd probably end up living in a tent behind the berm. I'm lucky to have avoided that fate just with practical shooting.

But that is pretty cool.

:supergrin:

You do have some whittling to do!

 

[Berto]

At least they did the forearm for you.

 

[willie_pete]

Yep, I’m going to fire up the chainsaw tomorrow and get started.

 

[Berto]

You should use a hammer and sickle.


:supergrin:

Nice wish l had one

 

[ithaca_deerslayer]

Do you have to whittle your own bullets for it, too?

 

[willie_pete]

Interesting pistol. I fired a few rounds in it just to check function. The little lever at the bottom of the grip in the last picture locks/unlocks the breech. The lever on the LH side above the trigger cocks it.

My trigger gauge doesn't register when the firing pin drops; I'm guessing the trigger pull is a few ounces. It actually feels like it will go off if you breath on it. It is adjustable though.

I bought 5 pounds of modeling clay to start molding a grip. From there I will take measurements and start chipping away at anything that doesn't look like a grip.

 

[DaleGribble]

I'm contemplating one. I haven't fired up the Dremel in a while...

What exactly is that?

Thanks, I've had this keyboard for a long time, and everything still worked on it...

What exactly is that?

Obviously it’s his magic gun hand prosthetic.

Neat!
Modeling clay will be a good start for the grips, but it's gonna take a while to carve out the walnut and get it right. Congrats + good luck!

Thanks, yeah, I suspect the final grip will be pine colored.

 

[Zeke338]

Good luck with it. Don't point it at the moon, we wouldn't want
holes in it.

Definitely not "free" in the $$$$$ dept. and now you're DOOMED HAHAHAHAHAARG !!
You just eliminated EVERY POSSIBLE ALABI you ever had !
I had a chance to shoot an older Hammerlli, made me want to throw away about 95% of my .22 rifles
