I have a question, I worked in a pawnshop in Lawton Oklahoma in the late Eighty's, I was their gun guy because I knew more about them than the other people did, one day they asked me about a rifle they had turned down for purchase because they didn't think it was worth the $300.00 the owner was asking for it. I didn't see it myself, but they gave a fair description of it. In the late eighteen hundreds Fort Sill had a Calvary unit based in it, sometimes experimental weapons were tested there, from the description, I believe this was one of the more rare types. It was a bolt action in 45-70, had Government markings on it, was in very good condition, the interesting thing about it was a type of tubular Spiro magazine, I was told it held 10 or more 45-70 cartridges in it. I've seen some mention of early bolt action rifles being tested at Fort Sill, but nothing about anything like this. I've always believed l they missed a great opportunity when they passed on buying this for the $300.00 asking price. It was well made according to them, but by a company they had never heard of. Because I couldn't find anything about it in the information about early bolt action rifles tested at Fort Sill in this time period, I feel it was a very rare rifle. Anyone have any more information on this unknown rifle? It seemed to be a good design, but was probably rejected for the 30-40 Krag adopted by the Army shortly after.

The P83 pistol is way ahead of its time. Comfortable to hold, very good DA/SA trigger and good sights, 12 round cap mags, very accurate and reliable. Not at all "snappy" to fire at the range like many Mak pistols are. This one gives you very little felt recoil and terrific accuracy. The polygonal rifling in the 9x18mm caliber makes it very accurate and easy to clean.

This was a well researched and referenced document that included names he'd already researched, but an author closer to the time had pulled together references that would have been nearly impossible to access now, and made connections that none of the later materials he'd found had made.

In reference to other options for an AK gas system, the Swiss managed to decouple the gas system from the barrel to improve the accuracy. It would be possible to free float the barrel of a 550 series gun for instance. They decoupled it by having the gas tube attach to the front trunion with the gas block only aligning the tube with the gas port. All force from the gas system cycling is transferred to the trunion.

If you're a small unit behind or in the middle of enemy built up fortifications, you're probably not getting re-supply.

Regarding naval adoption of the Kropatschek, in addition to the magazine being more beneficial to marines who will are more likely to be outnumbered, having a waterproof brass cartridge is going to make a huge difference to force operating in and around water. It's probably easy enough to keep paper cartridges dry in a shipboard storage room, but marines on small boats (boarding or landing parties) are likely to get wet, as are crates of ammunition being transferred to or from a ship aboard small boats (as when sending additional ammunition to a shore party, or resupplying a ship without a proper harbour).

As for the Polish firearm factory, "Radom" is the name of the city, the name of factory is "Łucznik" (Archer). FB is an acronym for "Fabryka Broni" - Weapons Factory. So full naming is FB "Łucznik" - Radom. BTW, "Łucznik" pronunciation is "Wootchneek".

I’ve always wondered, if medium power cartridges like .556 are almost always better wouldn’t that include earlier guns like bolt actions, breach- loaders, or muskets. In that case wouldn’t smaller cartridges have been better in these firearms.

If you haven't found an answer yet, here is the story as I understand it. It lies in gunpowder technology. To start with Black Powder's slow burn rate gives it a practical velocity limit of around 1500fps. A 55gr 22 cal at that speed would be a pretty wimpy military cartridge, somewhere between 22lr and 22mag. To get more energy with BP you have to increase the bullet weight and because of the fouling associated with BP you have to increase the bullet diameter instead of it's length The higher rifling twist rate required to stabilize a long skinny bullet fouls out much faster than the slower rate of a shorter fatter bullet. It can take as little as a single shot or two for that to happen. You may have noticed, as soon as smokeless powder was invented the militarys all did drop their rifle calibers from 45 and 50+ cals to 30ish cals. The trend was starting but it still took some more powder and metallurgical devolopements to get velocities up to the 3000+ fps which it takes to get enough energy from the light 22 bullets to do the job. It also took some mind set changes on the part of the military armament boards to accept the whole idea. You should remember that many of these developments, which seem so obvious through our modern gift of hindsight, were not so obvious back then and took quite a long time to come about. Just think BP was the only propellant for over 700 years, for the first 400 we used a smoldering piece of rope to ignite it, then a sparky rock for another 200. Only within the last 100 years of it's use did we come up with a percussive compound for ignition! Nothing like the speed of our advances in communications technology that we have gotten so used too these days. Fun to study though. Hope that was of some use to you.

re: pistol/carbine conversions; I agree that solutions like the CAA Roni and others are... suboptimal. There are a couple of exceptions to the rule that I can think of, mainly the MechTech carbine uppers for the Glock/XD/XDm/1911 platforms. The ergonomics are still good, though they do cost as much as a decent AR based PCC, so their overall value is iffy. The other is the X01 "PDW" chassis for the SIG P320... which, again, is almost the same cost as a stand alone PCC, though it doesn't skimp on ergos as it relocates the SIGs trigger module into a new PDW styled body. I think they're neat, but not for the asking prices from their respective manufacturers.

Ive done extensive research on the American AK debacle. Ian is exactly right. A specific area where American AKs cheap out and fail are in cast steel front trunnions. Forging is better; the parts are stronger and defects aren't as common. But, Forging is extremely expensive unless you are doing large scale mass production. AR-15 parts meet this need, and they are made of Forged Aluminum from a few central companies. AKs do not, so casting is cheaper. But casting is VERY prone to defects like porosity and grain irregularity. Invisible defects that even X-ray might not find. And the AK trunnion is pretty terribly engineered, it has to be extremely strong in order for the rifle to not destroy itself in a few thousand rounds. So using cheaper steel alloys for casting that part, usually doesn't go well. If you do want to get an American AK, go with something like Riley Defense which uses milsurp forged trunnions. Otherwise, honestly, don't waste your money on an AK. You can get an AR for $500 and it will be immensely more practical and durable than an AK. The price-to-performance ratio of AKs is really really bad.

when it comes to loading mags vs single shot reload times i think you guys should try doing an experiment on inrange, just take a lee enfield to have the largest theoretical advantage, and either single load it or load ten rounds then fire them all. if you do 20-30 rounds you could figure out where it "loops" and compare lengths and discuss. also, try comparing ways to carry rounds in speed difference, i'm particularly interrested in how a prepared position acts, where you can have your ammo (or at least some of it) conveniently laid out to use by your shooting position.

Has anyone ever put together a list for what bayonets are compatible with what lugs? Like, you obviously can’t put a Swiss M57 on an M4, but could you put an American M9 on an SMLE kind of thing
@KarltheKrazyone
5 жыл бұрын
I would say that in general, you won't find much compatibility outside of types (M-16/M-4 type thing) as there are so many styles and types of attachment. Some are lugs on the barrel, some attach to the hand-guard, some pivot and have a handle, some pivot but do not. Even within types, some will have been easier to retrofit between types, newer bayonets might be backwards compatible, but older ones not forward. In general once a rifle has been adopted, the production cost of the bayonet is quite low, so its not as though there is a major reason to ensure they are compatible with anything else. Keep in mind that a magazine is by far a more precision item, with a higher tolerance, and even those being interchangeable and "standardized" is a pretty modern thing It comes up a little more in talk of knives since bayonets seem like they should be a survival knife, but in actual fact they are often tempered soft so as to be the weak link and not damage the rifle if actually used as a pole-arm. I'm also convinced that some were designed to just look mean, and some have odd featured just due to wear from drills and armorer maintenance. I would guess that any compatibility would be by accident rather than design. Granted this comes from seeing a fair few gun show tables, and a rather large percentage of Ian's content, so maybe there is more than I'm aware of.

I'd love to see yourself and karl set up a 2 gun match with an 'early America' theme. Muskets and pistols of the 18th century (their reproduction counterparts) would definitely be challenging. Itd be awesome to see how a 2 gun match would have been 250 years ago. Just a thought 🤔

240 second par time, and if you don't get the spinner over with your rifle and pistol, advance with tomahawk? Kasarda drill with a cap & ball colt and a mandatory start with only one hot chamber? Six plates at 50 yards but you only get two inches of slow match? 10 mile march, only three targets, but you have to knapp a new flint while you go? This would be the video equivalent of watching paint dry, but possibly the hardest shooting ever.

Ian's right about "experts." The definition of an expert is: "X" is an unknown factor and "Spurt" is a shot in the dark. In the 1990's I worked in an auction house and handled, photographed, as well as described, thousands of guns. Just about every day I would be knocked down a notch when something came in that I had no clue about.
