Mateba showed up at IWA out of the blue and had new manufacture with them. They've also updated their website and are listing the Unica 6, at 2000 euroshekels. New manufacture is confirmed in .44 magnum, other calibers are unknown. They're also currently producing the Grifone, and a few other Ghisoni-esque revolvers.
Some guy on cuckchan emailed them to ask about it and yes, they are coming to the US. They're in negotiations with dealers right now.

That's what the Grifone is. It's the Unica 6 in rifle format. You could do a conversion kit and swap back and forth, but that would probably involve tax stamps based on what it was manufactured as. Might be able to get away with an SBR tax stamp no matter what, but I dunno - but that's US laws, I don't know what you poor bastards would have to go through for something that can be a revolving rifle or a handgun.

Unknown to both. I'm going to drop my notions of an AK purchase and save like mad for when it does come out. If it's not stateside in 6 months I might buy a WASR, but I intend to keep a $2500 reserve so I can buy immediately when they hit, regardless of caliber.

I was just thinking how awesome it would be to have a Mateba-like shotgun 🤔.
Maybe 16 gauge to keep a reasonable cylender size/ammo capacity. A shame that the bullpup shotgun revolver never made it out of shotshow-hyped-product stage. It seemed like a sound concept.
6aded0 No.569314
>>569301
Might be a bit of an issue with how the gun cycles. Long recoil has been done in shotguns since they started loading themselves so it may be possible.
Just a lot of mass for the guide rails. And unless you can see through the wheel or somehow spin the whole operating system upside down, you will have a serious height over bore issue with the sites.

8c9201 No.569400

Of course I wouldn't connect the barrel to the 6 o'clock position, the bore-over-sight would be huge. I meant the auto loading part of the mateba.
A cylinder would be a good way to keep the overall length short without sacrifying too much ammo capacity or going mag fed. Since shotgun shells are -relatively- low pressure, it should be possible to cut down weight on the cylinder.

I'm Argie, we can import (it is a chore, but it is possible). I can also add stocks to anything without any paper work, all legal.
If I were to get the long barrel, it should be as an aftermarket part, then I can add the stock on my own (probably get one made). I'd love a shorter one though, 18 inches is simple not practical for innawooding+plinking. The final price for me (after shipping, paper work and taxes) would be around 5000-6000 ameribucks.
Also, .44 is border line unobtainable and crazy expensive, only .357 would be ok (thanks to local fudds keeping the round relevant with their shitty revolvers). For what I understand, it can fire .38 special reliably with a simple change of recoil spring, another nice bonus to caliber.

If you're just going to own one wheelgun, 44 mag. You can do everything .357 mag can do and more- consider that the low end of 44 mag is a 180gr bullet from a 16 inch bbl at 2100fps, versus a 170gr hard-cast keith bullet snapping out at 1500fps for a hot load. .357's chief advantage versus 44 mag is that it has the ability to use exactly fuck-all powder (3 grains of the fastest shotgun powder you can get your hands on is a MAXIMUM LOAD for .38spcl under a 158gr bullet) so that it's cheap af to feed, 10c as I said excluding if you value your labour at minimum wage including casting time per round.
d2211b No.569767
>>569766
10c a round is very tempting, honestly. But, then, if I'm spending that much on a pistol, I might as well not be a massive cheapskate about feeding it.
Especially when I don't shoot that often, overall.
How much more we really talking, generally speaking, with 44?
Looking online, cheapest price-per-round for it I found was some 50c a round. Whereas, 357 is closer to 30, with 38spcl lower than that.
This is more or less my issue, at the moment, with deciding.
357 seems to be half the cost to feed.

Just take a grinder and remove the rust yourself, then weld on replacement steel and cover it with proper paint. As long as you do it properly and you already have the tools (you can rent a welder IIRC) you can save a couple hundred Dingo-Dollars.

As mentioned before, I can give some pretty decent rounds for 20c for 44 mag, 1600fps for 240gr. 25-30c per round and I make full house 240gr SWC loads that would fuck up anything not from africa, 24gr AR2205/Lil gun.
In both calibers, this depends on you picking up bullet casting and getting good at it. Fortunately, wheelgats are the best kind of gun for this, as they are extremely forgiving provided you pay attention.

There's no real demand for an auto-revolver. Gimmicks are its only selling point, as wheelguns in general are a pretty niche market.

I did a translation and detailed explanation how the silenced cartridges work but lost it two computers ago. Basically they have a pseudo-necking, and there's a piston inside the casing. This piston is free to move backward to the primer and forward up to the necking, but is stopped from moving out of the casing by the necking. The projectile is very long, usually mild steel core with lead sheath, and fills the entire casing pushing the piston down to the primer. There is very little powder between the primer and piston. When the primer detonates the powder, the piston moves rapidly in the casing and is stopped by the pseudo-necking, but not before ejecting the long plug-like projectile.
It's very effective.
In perfect darkness the laser sight lets you aim from the hip without using the sights, and there is no flash upon firing. The only sound is the piston being stopped by the pseudo-necking, and it sounds like a metal buckle being unfastened, very quiet.
It's the perfect assassination weapon.

They've been replaced by the PSS silent pistol. It's a bit louder because of the moving slide, but still quite silent. Notice the racking of the slide at 0:19 and compare with sound of firing the gun, it's the same.
OTs-38 are no longer produced but some are still kept in service because there is a supply of ammunition ready, and because the revolver doesn't leave behind any casings.
Pretty sure we can't buy it in America, considering all the sanctions and import bans.
