A New Snub Nose Blaster from Goldberg Arms

Here's the finished prototype for the display stand, Three laser cut pieces which interlock, no glue required. The engraving is done in reverse with the CNC router. Under the right lighting it "light pipes", almost looks like neon!

I'm not sure yet what the price will be, depends on how many I make.

Beauty ...now that's what I call a gun stand!

The one on the Steyr goes down in through the stock, and is part of a much larger piece. It would interfere with the cylinder if it was whole. I think they had to pretty much cut it off and attach it directly to the receiver as a simple solution. I like Dave's solution better myself, and agree it makes the gun much cleaner. I kind of wish the screws on the Grips were gone too (or moved to a less fragile location).

Still this thing is a masterpiece, and it has been great seeing it develop here from the from it's inception. Outstanding work from start to finish, and from top to bottom.

I agree, it is a thing of wonder.

***Pic Heavy**** I present to you my new BR snubbie. I decided to go with a black finish and gave it some slight holster wear. Big thanks to DaveG. What an awesome kit! It was so much fun to build.

Now all we need is that awesome acrylic stand to go with it

Excellent work! The Black and Ivory make a stunning combination.

Just a little update... there are still a few kits from the first run available. Some of the molds have broken down so I'll need to make new molds in order to do another run of kits. But I won't have the time to do this until after the first of the year. This is by way of saying, if you were thinking of the Snubby as the perfect Christmas gift for the Blade Runner fan in your life (or yourself), don't delay!

Another note about the next run, the clip holder and clip are likely to be molded in one piece. The double set of three part molds was just way too time consuming to redo again. This will mean no removable clip for LED conversion. So if you were thinking about adding electronics a first run kit is the only practical option.

any progress on the acrylic stands. My snubbie is currently laying on its side in my display case feeling neglected. All my other blasters make fun of "the little guy"

Hi Dave, can you email me info about the kit or the next run if you're sold out?

Thanks, Eric

[DaveG]

I am down to my last two snub nose kits from the first run. When these are gone... I will make more, but I don't know when. And these are definitely the last to have the removable ammo clip. So if you've been on the fence about getting one...
