Ugliest Double...
#24058 - 14/01/05 03:48 AM

I bought a Norwegian hunting mag today, and had a good laugh when I read an article about Blasers special made R93 Double!

Yes, a R93 (straight pull bolt action) Double! It looks kind of like that abomination made by Fuchs. But, it has Blasers cocking system for each barrel! 2 cockers/safetys!

It's called the "Hamed" after the man who they made it for in the first place; Sheik Hamed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the finance miinister of Abu-Dhabi who has several specially made Blasers.

It made only to order at the moment, but apparently they will be making a small production run in the near future...

So run and order yours now! And sell that silly, old fashioned double you already have. I'll be a nice guy, and take it off your hands cheap!

that has to be the worst piece of shit i've seen. last time i was in zambia a ph from a neiboring territory came by. he had his right thumb blown off by a bolt action double (don't know what kind - don't what to) seems to me the only use for this thing would be help a tank out of the ditch. (goes for the R93 too)

Sorry, there was the only the one picture in the magazine. Searched the internet too, but came up with nothing. Maybe Blaser will send you pictures if you pretend you want one.

I've got to say that besides the constructional stupidity of it, all the overdone wood engraving and leopardhead shaped bolt handle etc. makes it even more of a pimp gun. I can only imagine what kind of other silly crap the Sheik has. Since good taste is obviously not one of his stonger qualities...

This gun has the following:

2 magazines to be loaded

2 safeties/cocking pieces to be pushed

2 triggers to be pulled, and

1 bolt handle to be worked.

That's more than I can accomplish with only 1 hand while the other hand holds the rifle. To be proficient with this rifle, the shooter would need more than 2 hands.
