Another user of Tom Swift's Electric Pistol Sight here... Been using RMR02's, 8 MOA dot, on three different pistols for a couple years now for the reasons you mention and have been very pleased with their performance with none of the sight drift issues others have reported. I highly...

That looks to be a Soviet-era Maxim-Tokarev and not an AN-M2 "Stinger." The feed block and particularly the crank handle are what give it away, these dated from when they were trying to build a "lightweight" MG sometime in the middle 1920's before adopting the DP-27. Some very interesting...

From the photo looks like your magazine is broken; it is missing a chunk out of the rear, right corner. I checked my Baby magazines to verify and they all have complete left and right rear corners on them.

Very nice and very nice photo's - these have been on my 'must get one day' list because the action seemed unique and the ones have handled were tanks! Looking forward to your shooting impressions.

Is it just me or does this Type II seem to be missing its backplate? If that is the case what are the odds it still has its bolt and recoil spring(s). Is there a Japanese MG specialist in the house that can tell for sure?

Beretta 38/42 variant - the one with the cross-bolt safety. FWIW, I think Bernadelli used to build or tried to market a longer barrelled SMG copy of the Beretta 38/42 type SMG.

From the buttplate they are MP5F's.

Microtech's STG-556 http://www.microtechknives.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=58 TDP USA's AXR: http://www.tpdusa.com/ Neither one of these are on the market yet. Both are supposed to running right around $2k. I thought I had seen some mention of these on...

I was just reading this one and did not see this as being particularly supportive despite what seemed to be a "good start." Perhaps I misunderstood Ms Liston's concluding comments?

According to my copy of The Webley Story by William Dowell, Webley did build a solid frame, double action revolver around 1866 in a .577 bore cartridge with a one inch case length "of the type now known as Boxer Construction." (p. 52) It goes on further to describe a problem with the primers...

Actually, the belt-fed in the picture is Len Savage's semiautomatic belt-fed Bren gun - maybe his prototype that I think he was showing off a few years ago. If you look closely you can see the Bren elements in the barrel, gas block, carrying handle, bipod, buttstock, etc... Now then...

Thank you - I may do that.

Very neat - I see now in the photo's that the maker was Dave Boatman, I didn't realize that the ARES gun had been made by other manufacturers besides ARES and I think Pearl in New Mexico. If you can share any of its specific history that would be appreciated.

These are some of the clearest photographs I have seen of this, the others never seemed to reproduce well in publications. The workmanship looks nicer than I would have thought, did you get to shoot it too or just handle and take pictures?

The ARES folding submachine gun - is this the one that showed up in Robocop 2?

Just finished Olympos by Dan Simmons, currently reading Accelerando by Charles Stross. Should be picking up Potter 6 today or tomorrow. Temporarily stalled about half way through Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader by Bradley Martin. Started on Collapse by Jared Diamond...

I seem to recall reading about something like this in one of Julian Hatcher's books - I would have to check which one. But why bother when there is a two paragraph write up of the original whirly-gig/sling contraption in Dolf Goldsmith's new book on the Browning machine gun - with pictures...

Too true about the P210 - fortunately, there is a relatively simple solution. I purchased an "add-on" beavertail from Nill Grips that attaches with using a longer screw to replace the one that secures the fire control module or whatever they officially call it in Swiss German or French. No...

Looks like a Claridge "Hi-Tech" carbine from the ventilated guard and forearm. Claridge offered all steel "assault pistols" and a carbine back in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Somewhere around here I have a copy of the catalog from Claridge - neat little guns that were based on the...

Unfortunately, I do not have a scanning capability at this moment to help you there. I am uncertain what the ballistics for the .45 G.G. were off the top of my head - when I get home I will see if I have anything in one of my other books. Again - going from memory the first "Prototype" gun...
