Item Relisted! FS/FT *RARE* Casull Model 290 Carbine (Open bolt, 290rd drum)

[Mammoth Armory]

---

Extremely rare rifle w/ insane 290rd capacity.

Only 87 made between '66 and '67.

This Casull Model 290 semi-auto carbine is the predecessor to the American 180 .22 rifle. Made from 1966-1967 by Dick Casull, who designed the .454 Casull revolver. It's similar in appearance to the American 180 as the 290 round drum magazine is mounted on top of the receiver in a similar manner. It was one of the most expensive guns of its time. Only 87 were made and all were hand made. The receiver is machined out of a solid block of steel, all parts are hand fitted, built to last forever. It fires from an open bolt with the bolt face striking the cartridge on a diagonal striking both edges for positive ignition. At the time, it was a popular gun to present to foreign dignitaries. Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines owned one.

This is one of the highest capacity drum magazines (290rds) ever produced. An extremely rare and unique firearm. Excellent condition.
