  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Can you imagine if Jerry decided to enter the firearm market?

I think before my time, there were some Busse 1911 grips?

I wouldn't mind having a pair of those!

Maybe a mini INFI/SR-101 bayonet for railed pistols?
 
Heavy and overbuilt is Ruger's arena in the gun world.

Busse compliments that by making bombproof knives and when paired with Ruger's TANKS, go together like peas-n-carrots... biscuits and gravy... venison and taters... cookies and ice cream.... uhhp, gotta go and hit the fridge up.
 
Jerry DID enter the firearms market, but as a customer. :D I suspect that he has many weapons that most of us would love to own.;)

No, you are absolutely right on the money, I have no idea of the suitability of Busse Kin steels for the dreamt up purpose. I know that there are very specific steel requirements and characteristics for bolts and other high impact parts. Here's why I don't consider that a dealbreaker - they could just go with another steel, because what excites me about the possibility is Jerry's overbuilt yet efficient robustness and durability, the design, the quality, the heat treat. The reason my mind even wondered into this is that I've been building a couple rifles for the past three months and I find myself looking for the same qualities I find in a Busse knife. A survival tool I can trust and rely on. I'd like to see Jerry's take on a bolt catch, safety lever, 1911 slide and frame, beavertail and other parts. I think it would be some good stuff.
 
A bayonet with Jerry’s touch would be cool. Don’t forget those 590 A1’s have bayo lugs. I’d like a short bayo for a home defense gauge. A half inch wide gaping maw with 6 inches of pointy steel in front of it would be tantalizing.

Nope, we have H&K and ruger already.
But I do hope Jerry sleeps in a pile of ammo with many beautiful women.
 
He's been in the market for years.

Ain't y'all never heard of the "iron for infi" trade program?
