Medusa revolver

Recently got a Medusa

not long ago i got a medusa and am having trouble with 9mm rounds... they seem to fit tight. i use only new ammo, but only a couple of rounds from a box will fit nicely. so far ive shot .38 spl, .380 acp, and .357 mag with no problems.

thanks in advance for any help!

FN making\remaking the Medusa? Don't tease me.

As a FiveseveN owner I'm having a Pavlovian response to reading your post but I know better than to get my hopes up :(

I asked if I could go take a look or send a friend to examine the guns, and they said "all are find and working, and we give 6 month guarantee"

Noway its not a scam, and they ask for a money order...

Wish it wasn't. I'm new to the hunt, but Mr. Phillips you certainly made a cult following. Been trying for a couple months now, and its an interesting world of folks out there searching for these jewels.

Any sellers our there please let me know as well, but it appears I'm at the back of a long(ish) line.
 
Thats what I thought as well. Now the guy is saying I can come look..scared to send someone to get mugged in an alley.

Any news if someone is really producing more medusas?
 
Hopeful

Wow! I feel like I've been banging my head against the wall looking for one of these m47s! I feel like I've learned a lot!
I have also bumped into this 'Joe23' fellow.

Sounds suspicious;

I sent e-mails to 'joe23' and various authorities in the UK asking for information on how I might verify this company's credentials.

'joe23' has responded;

Check our details on UK company house.

Companies House UK is similar to a corporate registry. So while the company is registered, the data contained there is supplied by the registrants. Most of it electronically. So, this info would seem to me to be of little value.

Someone suggested that the M47s were of new FN manufacture, so I fired off an e-mail to ask them about it.

I'll be following this thread closely.
In the mean time I'm looking for 2 or 3 of these things in 5"

(yes, I'll keep dreaming)
 
Random thoughts...

Some things to think about...

The first thing I did when I saw this (alerted by my son, Clay) was to do a street view of Google maps. The building exists, but there is no indication that this company works from there even though two other companies are listed on the front door. That may not mean much, but interesting nevertheless.

1. My patent protection extends to Britain and Belgium through the European Patent Office (and you thought firearms mfg was simple). No notification from Fabrique Nationale yet even though I would be cool with that.

2. A Purchase Order from these guys should require some serial numbers. What are they. Ask if you can get consecutive serial numbers.

3. Which proof house do they use? How many different caliber proof stamps are they required to use?

4. If you're not an FFL holder, SOMEONE has to go through The State Department to get permission for importing these firearms.

5. You're going to need a paper trail. What bank do they use?

I've got a few more ponderables, but I need to eat. Be right back.

6. Insurance Product Liabilities Underwriters?

7. 6 months guarantee! Parts and labor? Parts? How much for parts and are they replacement compatible?

8. Licensed? By whom?

9. Registered with Interpol and the U.S. National Forensics Lab? I know the answer to this one....

Anyone else want to join in on this?
 
I also saw that there was a difference between the addresses on the two letters.

The same email though...
 
An internet search for The Gun Public House got me some reviews for a nice pub.

I also though the gun control laws in England were pretty strict. It would probably be hard for a national to buy a handgun there. I can't imagine it would be any easier for a foreigner.

But I'm sure the place would be happy to accept anyone's money. :)
 
Interchangeable cylinders? Interchangeable barrels? Half-moon clips?? Well, that's just heresy!
(just kidding)

It does mean that you can't shoot a 9mm and a .357 at the same time.

One of the smoothest DAs I've ever fired was the 357 prototyped by Sterling Firearms. This was the original Sterling of England (made a great little machine gun), not the Sterling Firearms of Lockport, NY. Both are now out of business and I did work with both.

I think you'll need a pub after doin' a deal with these guys.
 
These people had a Medusa on GB or GunsAmerica last summer. I wrote them and got an immediate reply. Various emails later where they td me they 500 new and 450 used Medusas in stock but when pressed sent me a stock photo. When I asked specifics about gun SNs and shipping into the US they stopped answering my emails. Many months later, back in February, I wrote them again and heard back in a couple weeks. Them I told them I was going to be in London (true) and wanted to meet with them face to face. Haven't heard a word back!
 
Not surprising. No one but a mfg realizes how over-regulated the industry really is. I didn't mention several Fed agencies (such as Customs or Treasury, FBI, etc.) nor the zillions of other state and local agencies who have their own hoops for law abiding U.S. Citizens to jump through.

I did notice one other thing about these guys. If you don't want to shoot and drink at the pub like we do here in Texas, the guys at the Gun House offer additional barrel lengths. Bonus!

I'd ask for a dealer sample. You never know.
 
One additional thought about how restricted we are here in the U.S., as much as we complain about our gun rights, it could always be worse. Germany will not allow you to buy ammo for a gun you don't have registered to you. Think about that for a minute and how diabolical it is. You own a gun but can't buy ammo. Pretty effective gun control, huh? That is why there was such a firestorm in the German Parliament about the Medusa. Buy a Medusa and you could legally buy any ammo it would shoot.

Now, if someone breaks into your home in Germany and threatens your family's life, all you need to do is drag them over to the gun club (the only legal place you can store your gun), check your own gun out (don't forget your registration paper) and then you can hold them at gunpoint (don't forget to load it) 'til the polizei arrive. The police are under the same restriction if you were wondering.
