Last time I saw this I got curious about how a person would get one of these, they are crazy rare, the guy who made them died.

Sadly the company that made those don't anymore....so they're rare to see for sale

Target audience found! To the front page!
BreastInspector
...again. Everytime I see this reposted I think that if you're going to mod it, then put on a muzzle brake or other shock absorbers
GreenChuJelly
They stopped manufacturing these after the founder died, and now they'll run you $1500 or more.
Laaub
That isn't as bad as I thought. My M9A3 was just north of 1k.
mattybardy
Could someone translate ?
tharty
.458 WinMag is commonly used for dangerous game, up to and including elephant. High-powered cartridge = high recoil = ow my shoulder
mattybardy
Ahhh...I see. Does it need to be adapted for the Garand?
VodkaReindeer
Those bullets look tasty.
Neomechavoltron
Chambered for 2 dollar bills.
Xanthx
Update, they USED TO sell these. There are no companies currently manufacturing then en masse for market users.
muscletank
i will take two and one of the BARs converted to .338 Lap Mag

Doesn’t seem so bad by the video but what do I know.

Better footage of the weapon in action (skip to minute 6): https://youtu.be/q9Msztahe4Q?t=6m

Can't watch right now so dot

But WHY does a person NEED a gun like this? Lol jk this is fucking awesome
BloodyTanookiSuit
Only time I ever got scope bite was from one of those. Didn't even notice until I felt blood dripping off my nose.
speedbagmynuts
I always wondered why those rounds are so rounded on the end
NunyaBizness
That what she said !

Ruger M77 is my favourite chambered in .458 win mag

That would hurt like a sonuvabitch, going OR coming.....

ghostyoh
That was the funniest thing i have seen in a long time hehe
hippocampus
I wonder how much slower the bullet goes because of the momentum lost to the gun.

Seriously, I'd never hand someone inexperienced anything larger than a 10mm or 45 until I can verify their capabilities.
Laaub
And even then I'd prefer to start someone on a .22 revolver to get technique down first.
waitwasthatreal
A shotgun is fine, just have one with a stock
Kilroy232
TweakerTheBarbarian
It used a sloshing tube of mercury in the stock to dampen recoil.
Laaub
That sounds.... Interesting.
TrepidJaguar
You mean, ineffective.
Laaub
Maybe for a sharp impact it would be ineffective. But they used to use Mercury for plumbs because of the natural damping.
weilong
Here's the kind of damage it does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEXblhkBLV4

"These guns will physically harm you if you don't hold them correctly." Lol...
weilong
hmmm....that's true for all guns if you think about it.
MidLifeChrysler
Man, what the hell kind of Vibranium op-rod does that thing have?
thatsnotaknife
Asking the real questions. My bet would be that the op rod is factory, but they either had a tiny gas port in the barrel or limiting valve
MidLifeChrysler
I bought an adjustable gas plug for my 1942 SA so I could shoot modern factory loads, but even with something like that.. crazy pressures
AmishGangsta404
Also, fuck your wallet. Like, a lot.

First time at a music festival I see
athleticpolarbear
Leather is not my type, unfortunately.
Noksus
Why do you need to pay? You're buying ammunition after all.
Lukapaka
That is not advised, buddy.
gablestout
Because at the kind of shop that sells that ammunition, the guy selling you the ammunition also has his own ammunition
Jomini001
Not really. $1500-2000. Pretty middling. About the same as for an M1A or most FAL and G3 models.
jjc101
I like the G3. Here we called it M75 and I used it in the army. Was replaced with some version of AR15 I think. G3 is loud and kicks a bit >
jjc101
So you really feel that you're shooting. 7.62 ammo ways a ton tho opposed to 5.56...
Jomini001
Denmark, right? Yeah y'all are using the Canadian M16/M4 type rifles now. G3 isn't a bad gun at all imho, but magazines are expensive
Jomini001
As hell in the US. The good steel ones I mean.
Hartok
Never had any issues with the aluminum ones. Bought 200 when they were 99 cents each at CTD.
mobiusm1
Pretty sure he's talking ammo cost, not the rifle. Cartridges are stupid expensive.
Jomini001
Back when they were in production anyway. Pretty hard to find now.
CumCanon69
I think he might be saying that they are current production. if so idk if id call it an m1 garand but its still cool either way
Jomini001
The McCan .458's? Naw, they stopped production a few years ago. They're unicorns now. Definitely cool though, but really just a gimmick.

skydivingbigfoot
How much we talking about?
ifyouoralovedonehavebeendiagnosedwithmesotheliomayoumaybe
At least 10 grand, probably more since they are no longer in production
Crumply
Do you mean 10 garand?
MisterTrashPanda
You're the worst
080080
Ne7RideR
You sly sonovabitch
asm80dfa8sdfj
To shoot? I mean, you only need one round, how expensive can it be?
AlphaKill
About five dollars a round
asm80dfa8sdfj
$5 to end any confrontation, seems cheap
AlphaKill
Just don't miss ;)
asm80dfa8sdfj
Eh, miss and you still hit with this.
mobiusm1
$5 a cartridge is easily $100 for half an hour at the range, and that's taking your time and being conservative.
MisterTrashPanda
Gotta practice to be able to effectively end a confrontation... Assuming luck isn't on your side
DastardlyFiddle
I'm British, is it the Garand or the ammo that will fuck your wallet the most?
ISenseAChallenger
both.
mobiusm1
Ammo. Rifle is a few grand. Cartridges add up fast though and they're expensive.
DastardlyFiddle
Out of interest, and it's something I've I've always wondered, how much is a box of ammo? 9mm, 5.56, .458 Win etc.
brankthefunny
Depends on the brand and type, here's a link if you feel like browsing https://ammo.com
mobiusm1
yeah it depends... ranges from stupidly expensive to hilariously expensive.
StonesOnTheHill
For that gun, it's about $5-8 a round.
Junai
50 rounds of 9mm basic target/training $15, 20 rounds of similar quality 5.56 $8, 20 rounds of hunting quality .458 win mag is about $80.
mobiusm1
.458 win mag makes my .460 mag look cheap... and that gun already makes cash register sounds.
Junai
Usd of course.
