70' Vintage Aqua Craft Bang Stick with Shells - Very hard to find. $300.00
If you know what this is, you know the reputation of getting the job done.
Everything in the pictures is included. 27" bangstick, which is not considered a firearm. Leather sheath with ammo, plus 2 boxes with 6 shells each, for a total of 18 shells.
This was an Estate Sale find with everything high end and in good condition. But due to the age, I cannot guarantee that the ammo still works. This may be your last chance to stock up on shells. They are extremely rare.

Free shipping.

Payment using PayPal preferred.

Hi thanks for the offer but since this is the first time/ first day listed I will pass on your offer. $250 delivered is the best I can do right now.
 
$200 to $250 is a good price for that vintage bang stick. In my opinion that best bang stick ever made. Hope you guys can get together. I have new never been wet ammo for the Seaways Aqua craft bang sticks if anyone needs any let me know.

Larry-
If you are still with us? I just recently learned of the Seaway, and if I understand it correctly the USN did something like take a 30 cal rifle round and stick a 38 cal pistol round in the business end, so that the pistol round actually fires as the "superprimer" into the powder in the rifle cartridge, creating a large gas explosion.

And somehow, it looks like the primer pocket on the rifle cartridge is reamed out, but that must be plugged somehow in order to keep the powder dry?

Could anyone describe some of the details more clearly? I'm thinking that obviously was a hand load to start with, and should be a simple hand load to recreate--given the right twq cartridges to start with, and a little knowledge.

You say "Shark!" I say "Grenade!". That's conservation--of MY species.

If Larry or someone else with actual cartridges is still with us? I've just heard of the Seaway recently. If I could get a clear description of exactly what the cartridges are...it sounds like it should be simple enough to hand-load new ones.

Something about a 38/357 pistol round being inserted in the business end of a 30 caliber rifle round, with the (rifle) primer removed and presumably the primer pocket sealed? An elegant kludge, and from what I've heard of the results, way more effective than off the shelf ammunition.

Although I confess, I'm not sure that removing a primer from the rifle cart would really matter, it still ought to blow out pretty easily.
