Turns out, they\u2019re pretty rad. While he\u2019s only been doing it for four years or so, he\u2019s already established his own unmistakable panache. I\u2019m having trouble articulating his flair exactly, but it\u2019s somewhere on the spectrum between Mad Max and Bladerunner. Maybe, I\u2019d call it \u201cretro-futuristic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James brought two new firearms to SHOT, a Stalin 12 shotgun and a Califas Nomad AR-style rifle. Information on both was limited because they were built just prior to the show, but from what I could garner the Stalin 12 is a AK-pattern, 12-gauge shotgun with a folding and collapsible stock. Its receiver was milled in the USA, not stamped like other AK-pattern shotguns.<\/p>\n<p>The Califas Nomad is an AR-style rifle that was specifically designed to flout all the asinine laws in anti-gun states like CA, NY, CT, NY, etc. With a standard grip instead of a pistol grip, a wood Remington 870 stock that is not collapsible the gun, presumably, wouldn\u2019t violate a run-of-the-mill ban on so-called \u201cassault weapons.\u201d However, as pictured with the 10-plus round magazine one might run into trouble possessing one in one of those aforementioned states. As always, check your local and state laws before you make a purchase.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_68576\" style=\"width: 1022px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/JesseJames2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"jesse-james-stalin-12-ak-pattern-12-gauge\" title=\"Jesse James\u2019 Stalin 12, An AK-Pattern 12 Gauge -- SHOT Show 2017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-68576\" title=\"Jesse James\u2019 Stalin 12, An AK-Pattern 12 Gauge -- SHOT Show 2017\" class=\"size-large wp-image-68576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/JesseJames2-1012x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Jesse James\u2019 Stalin 12, An AK-Pattern 12 Gauge -- SHOT Show 2017\" width=\"1012\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/JesseJames2-1012x1024.jpg 1012w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/JesseJames2-148x150.jpg 148w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/JesseJames2-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/JesseJames2-768x777.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/JesseJames2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 1012px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-68576\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A look at the barrel.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Specs<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Stalin 12<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>AK-Pattern<\/li>\n<li>12 Guage<\/li>\n<li>Collapsible Stock<\/li>\n<li>Milled Receiver<\/li>\n<li>Made in USA<\/li>\n<li>MSRP: $7,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Califas Nomad<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5.56 NATO<\/li>\n<li>California legal?<\/li>\n<li>Remington 870 Stock<\/li>\n<li>Made in USA<\/li>\n<li>MSRP: $3,500<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Impression<\/h2>\n<p>As a machinist and artist, James is no slouch.
