  I like those, a lot. Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery and this guy obviously loves guns. I like the 1/3 scale Tommy gun the most.

  Wow. I can't believe they made a mini "Second Century" double 1911...

  That is absolutely cool! It did get me thinking tough-- has anyone tried to build double or triple scale firearms? Like a 1911 that is 3x the size of a normal one? That would be kind of cool too.

  Broaching is one way to cut rifling.

  Did you catch the "A 1/3 scale revolver with scale sized bullets to show that it loads and functions just like the real thing.".

  I know this can't compare to those but I think it is interesting. I got it at the Big Texan restaurant in Amarillo, Texas as a souvenir. It was packaged with a garter and a little holster. I keep it with the garter hanging from the rear view mirror in my truck.
  
  It has a swing out cylinder and the trigger and hammer are functional. It is single action. The cylinder does not rotate but it has a chamber under the hammer when closed that appears to have been made to fire some sort of cap or blank. There is a firing pin on the hammer.

  I've got some pictures on Photobucket of some miniature flintlock rifles and pistols from the Longrifle show I took several years ago. Photobucket is pitching a hissy fit right now; can't access the pics. I'll post them later.

  Two pictures of some tiny flintlock rifles. The round object in the picture is a quarter for size comparison.

  Well, Miniature Arsenal is either a subsidiary or sister company to Arsenal Firearms, makers of the Second Century.

  I'd love to have one of those in an 1861 Springfield!
