I would seriously love to have a chess set like this around the house. Every gun nut needs one of these out on display. (h/t Robb Allen)

Would probably get you arrested in DC and NJ,
I want one!
New Jersey isn’t a problem for empty brass. Now in DC and MA, it’s not really illegal given how these have been modified where they can no longer be used at all, but it could fall into the category of legally risky depending on how much the local cops and prosecutor like or dislike you if you aren’t licensed.

Going to the non-Canadian version of Etsy, I see it’s $800. With the bigger pictures that really show off the beauty of the wood, it really is a work of art, so the price isn’t nearly as insane as it might seem initially. The maker also offers one that’s called the “NATO vs Soviet” set. He also sells a set of chess pieces only (in .223) for $225.
Maybe I should start doing a gun-themed Etsy cool stuff post again.
It’s nice for display, but I hate playing chess with pieces where it isn’t abundantly clear whether you’re looking at a knight or a bishop.
Very cool, but I agree with TS, and prefer playing with a Staunton set.
