The gun is an H&R single shot with a new barrel on it, chambered to shoot 3 different cartridges interchangably, with 3 different loads and 3 different bullets. And since all 3 cases are the same exact length, they all headspace off the case mouth. Even factory 45 acp ammo will shoot hole for hole at 50 yards, and this gun is quieter than most guns with a suppressor!

45 Auto Rim / Speer Deep Curl 250 gr. / 950 fps.

45 acp / Hornady 230 gr. XTP / 1,200 fps.

45 Super / Hornady 200 gr. FTX / 1,500 fps.

Thsee groups were shot at 125 yards just to see what the gun would do with two different bullets and two different bullet weights.

This one is a 6mm Armadillo that I built on an H&R platform, and from reports that I am getting back from the guy that I built it for, average group size it 7/8" (.875) at 300 yards, and the pistol shoots even better!

The H&R is now wearing a Weaver 24X Target scope, set in a pair of Burris Signature Zee rings.

Look good! I'm not familiar with the 6mm Armadillo. Tell me 'bout it.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments.

I have had a couple of my custom guns in the classified, and from some of the rude, ignorant and stupid things people say, I won't post one of my guns on there again.


I'm going to regret asking..... How much $ for a 45 like in the OP ?

$650 for a complete rebuild around a customers gun, and includes the following -

Match grade stainless steel barrel chambered for the 45 Auto Rim / 45 acp / 45 Super

All machine work, chambering, crowning, and bead blast finish of stainless barrel

Pillar and glass bedded forend

Trigger job - 3 pounds

Scope base and barrel modified to the larger 8-40 screws and the base bedded to the barrel

Ejector/extractor modifications

Like mine, the gun will be set up to to shoot 3 different cartridges, but if the 45 Auto Rim will not be used, then the 45 acp and 45 Super can still be used interchangably.

Man . . . I sold a .243 single shot H&R last year . . .

Even for guys that have the N.E.F. single shot shotguns in 12 ga., 16 ga. and 20 ga, I can turn them into an accurate .45 acp. that will shoot most all of the available factory loaded .45 acp. ammo, as well as book listed handloads. These builds are $450 and are an excellent way to get into a gun that shoots the .45 acp. and for even less money.

Send me a PM if you are interested.
Threaded for a suppressor.... oh my that would be sexy!
