Ring of fire pistols!!!!! Post some pics!

[Cody805]

Im bored tonight! Let's see your ring of fire collections!
Can't find a good thread on these little guys so lets make one!

[mossy]

not sure if the original accu-tek .380 is a "ring of fire", they are still being made... IMO,any gun that can spontaneously disassemble itself should qualify.

During the 1980s-1990s, the "Ring of Fire" manufacturers were Sundance Industries (Valencia, CA), Arcadia Machine & Tool (Irwindale, CA), Phoenix Arms (Ontario, CA), Davis Industries (Mira Loma, CA), Lorcin Engineering (Mira Loma, CA), Bryco Arms (Costa Mesa, CA), and Raven Arms (City of Industry, CA).

I've owned a Jennings and a Raven 25. The Raven was actually my wife's. She sent me a text message one day "I bought a gun at an estate auction" then sent a photo. I started worrying that she paid $200 or something for it.
"How much was it?"
$50.
Okay, not too bad.

I dont own any throw away guns any more. After the Jenmings stopped feeding after two mags and the raven never worked right I looked at the Davis's and cant remember what the other two were. They all went away.

And Jennings.

Not sure AMT should be on the list, they are built like a brick ****house, mine has never let me down.

As I recall, the "ring of fire" manufacturers were all related.

I have a Jennings somewhere around here that I paid 20.00 for, I still got the short end.

I have an amt 380, great gun to carry in a pocket

[rcslotcar]

My AMT .22 has never failed me.

[I Swan]

AMT is not ring of fire. If it is people have paid me $1000+ fot ring of fire guns. Accu-tek is close but not quite. Yes the familes are related and a lot of drama behind the scenes.

One of them needs to make a " Johnny Cash Special "

I traded a brick of Golden Bullets for my Jennings 25 about 5 years ago.

Raven .25
This was actually a reliable gun until the cast firing pin broke after many rounds fired.
The firing pin was replaced with a stainless steel version and the gun just chugged along after that.
I made a hidey-case from a VCR box (remember VCRs?)



I sold this one to a CalGunner, who sold it to another CalGunner.
Who has it now?

Most ring of fire guns end up at a buy back since you get more then you paid.

OTOH it must be nice to have a wife that even thinks to buy a gun at an estate sale.

Nicely done!

Remember VCRs? Both my VCRs finally went to the TV repair shop in the sky recently. By "both" I mean my VHS and my Betamax. Yeah, try to find a new one of those at Fry's.
