This GOA 1968 is what also lead to the Roster of Handgun in CA. In a nut shell..this is how it went.. -->1968 was passed -->Dried up all the imports ---> Demand goes up --> Cheap junk like Raven and others like Cobra or so on came around to meet the demands ----> The founder of Raven passed so his son took over --> Later the wife of the son divorced the son and took half of his company ---> Wife came up with her own company Phoenix Arms and Son sold Raven company to one of his foreman or whoever. --> New guy took over renamed the company to Bryco and kept cranking out the Jennings --->2001 or 2003 in CA some 17 year old kid had an ND when trying to clean one of these junk guns. The round ricochet and hit another 7 year old kid ---> Mommy and Daddy of that 7 year old kid manage to convince the state and court that it was the "gun's fault" aka the company ----> Company pay about 20m to 25m or so to Mommy and Daddy ---> Bryco declared bankruptcy and left the state to Nevada ----> State of CA passed the Roster of Handguns ---> Bryco than sold the company to another foreman or someone and the owner renamed Jimenez.
Great video. You're a good firearms historian. I particularly enjoyed your videos on the Rem 1100 and the Rem 11-48. ~ I would love to see you feature and discuss the ill-fated Bren Ten that was off-and-on produced from about 1983 to maybe 1985 or '86.
Jeff Cooper really pushed that Dornaus & Dixon Bren Ten. The entire project was never capitalized well and was doomed from the start, really. Too bad, the guns were fairly well made.
Thank you for the historic info.
Great video. I like ,25 Auto handguns and have a Galesi and several Berettas. Keep up the good work.
I leared a new term today. "Sock Drawer Gun". LOL
