The title Ljutic is commonly hooked up to and remembered by the Ljutic House Gun single-shot shotgun, which was distinctive in its slam fireplace or open bolt type of operation. Past its irregular working system, it seemed very unusual. One lesser-known invention (however far more produced) by Al Ljutic (the J is silent) is his Mono Gun. The Mono Gun was a single-barreled break-action lure gun. It featured a extremely adjustable inventory and a 34-inch barrel. To my data, the Ljutic firm nonetheless exists at present however I used to be not capable of finding far more data on it in addition to a troubling latest historical past on their Wikipedia web page.
