Pretty neat, but could have been much neater if he had bead blasted or painted over all that rust.

Believe it or not, where I live, this has to be registered on a gun permit

I heard Bolo is cheap in Canada because Canadian gun law puts tighter restriction on "small" pistols. Bolo is not very small (about the same size as Luger 1900), but small or not, that's by definition.
This one does look much better than those cut-away Broomhandles with numerous "windows" opened on the frame and barrel. |

Mostly springs that do not have anyplace to gain purchase on.
This is not a factory cutaway, which would have taken function into account. This is just the result of some fairly talented Bubba's drunk weekend. |

Even though it hurts to see guns cut up like that, this is a very neat idea. Very nice machining as well, I would like to know more about how it was done and how the parts were attached after cutting. I might try it myself if I find a basket case that can't be repaired.
