Calico (unofficial) Web Site
Calico Magazine Repair

Photos & information on these unique and very cool pistols and rifles which come in .22LR and 9mm, topped with those truly innovative 50- and 100-round helical "drum" magazines.

In 1998, I read an issue of Guns and Ammo from the 1980s and saw a review of the American Industries "Calico M-100" carbine. I fell in love with it, but I had a heck of a time finding one to buy. But finally I did!

I decided that since Calico information has been hard to find, I would build a site. It's not fully developed due to time constraints, but it is online!

The rare prototype guns of the late firearms designer Karl R. Lewis

Now you can finally see the very rare gun collection of the late firearms designer Karl R. Lewis, who invented more than 45 firearm models for Browning, Colt & Dan Wesson - and his own - with dozens of patents. Lots of unique photos here!

In the last 20 years, very few people have seen these guns. Now Mr. Lewis' son John wants his father to have the recognition he deserves in the history of firearms design!
