Ye Olde French Pistol
My little brother, 17 years of age, is finishing up a year of foreign exchange program in the south of france. He found himself at a french flea market, wandering around for the experience of it all, and ended up trapped in french conversation with an elderly couple who were just delighted at his willingness to sample their culture. When they left the market, they gave him a box of odds-and-ends, to sell as he liked. For the full experience I suppose. He found a blackpowder pistol in the bottom of the box. Authentically aged, barrel dated 1810. I believe it’s a caplock but he didn’t describe it too well. My question: How the hell do you get such a prized little trinquet back here, stateside? How do you ship a firearm out of a country where firearms are prohibited and supposedly all confescated long ago, and how do you get it into a country where just about everything brought in is electronically scrutinized and anything under the ‘weapons/bombs’ category will get you in trouble? My one singular hope lies in the idea that this gun should not be in any wise ATF regulated, as it obviously does not qualify under their rules of regulation, no matter how you slice it. But how to get it stateside? Anybody out there with some help? I have about two months left to help my brother or he’s gonna chicken out and ditch it in a trash can. HELP!!!!
Re: What is your biggest gun?
My biggest gun is in my pants! I always keep it stuffed in an old pair of pants under the bed…. Keeps prying eyes away. It’s just a Mauser, by the way.
Left handed M4
Well, one of my close friends just finished building his left handed M4. He picked up a Stag Arms lefty reciever with a 16″ barrel. He mated that to a DPMS lower with a T6 collapsable stock, and flip up tritium sights. He got the flat top reciever, perfect for the Eotech sight he is planning on buying. One of the benefits of being single 
No one tells him how to spend his money. His new M4 makes my cheap ol’ Romanian AK47 look all ghetto, even with all the accoutrements I’ve bolted on. So, we got any other lefties in the tribe? If so, tell us about some of your left handed guns.
Re: Left handed M4
I hear a m-4 jams worse than an AR, If you accidently sneeze in the action, you better break it down and clean it. I think I’d be happy with the ghetto gun.
Re: Left handed M4
Well as I’ve said before, I’m a lefty, which is why I dislike most side-ejecting guns unless they also add in a little forward-throw for my sake. Even if the brass doesn’t hit me, it’s still flying past my face the whole time. Sucks. I have a pretty interesting way of working a bolt action with my left hand, You oughta see it I’m just as fast as you are. Put my hand palm-down over the back end of the reciever, hook the thumb under the bolt, pull the thumb toward the hand and the bolt flips up… keep the bolt pinched between thumb and hand, slide back, eject, then push with the palm of the hand to run the next bullet in, then press down on the top of the reciever and let go with the thumb at the same time, which pushes the bolt down and locks it into place again. Not much leverage if I get a stuck case, but on a smooth-feeding rifle you wouldn’t know from my silhouette or rate of fire that I’m a lefty working a right-handed bolt. Other than that, I made that lefty handle for my GP100. Never did get around to ordering a new chord for my camera. I’m so lazy about that kind of stuff… Ejecting from a revolver is a similar contortionist act. Push the button with the left hand, push the right side of the cylinder with the right (free) hand, shoving it all the way over, thumb through the frame. Grasp the cylinder with thumb and other fingers, thumb through frame, fingers underneath… Press the ejector rod with the right index finger…. This has the advantage of being a very firm cylinder/frame grasp, which is already in my off-hand, leaving my more dextrous hand for the task of reloading. The major drawback is that if I’m rapid-firing-reloading, I often get bad burns on my right thumb, which spends the whole time of reloading, shoved through the frame and resting on the forcing cone! HOT!!! Fortunately I’ve pretty thick skin on my tough ham hands.

While I was going through some of our pictures from NDIA Small Arms Systems Symposium 2007, I came across some action photos of the HK MP7A1 PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) with a Gemtech "Brick" rectangular silencer/sound suppressor attached, including one of me firing the weapon/silencer combo, myself. Anyway, I thought I’d share it with our readers since I haven’t seen a picture of it anywhere else, and the Brick’s rectangular/angular shape is somewhat unusual.
DefenseReview mentioned the "Brick" muzzle can back in May 2007 after we tried it out at the symposium demo shoot at Blackwater USA. The "Brick" is…
Day of the Jackal
Anyone who is familiar with this movie (ficticious account of an attempt to assassinate Charles DeGaul) knows about the whole bit with Jackal’s weapon design (hidden in a crutch) and his chat with the weapon-maker. They discuss the calibre (.22) and explosive-tip bullets. They talk about nitroglycerine versus mercury and decide on mercury. So question one is: Would a mercury-tipped bullet actually explode? I’m not sure but I think percussion caps used by black-powder-rifle enthusiasts are made of mercury no? Question two is: If “someone”…not me of course….wanted to drill-out a .22 hollowpoint and superglue a percussion cap in place (since they don’t sell nitro at Wallmart) would said person have their fictious and totally nonexsistant walther P22 blow-up in their face? Just curious….uh…a friend was curious too.

Speaking of photos, I also found a couple of shots of me firing the TDI KRISS Super-V XSMG .45 Cal. (.45 ACP) SMG at NDIA Small Arms Systems Symposium 2007, as well. The KRISS is essentially a 21st-Century version of a Thompson submachine gun. DefenseReview enjoyed shooting the weapon, and is interested to see test data on a high-round-count/adverse conditions test of the weapon.
For the record, Defense Review is…

Back on March 10, 2008, DefenseReview published an article on the B.E. Meyers & Co./Surefire, LLC Open-Prong Flash Hider a.k.a. Open-Prong Flash Suppressor. Well, apparently, Advanced Armament Corp. (AAC) makes an advanced open-prong flash hider/suppressor that’s significantly shorter in length than the B.E. Meyers/Surefire product (and the Smith Enterprise Vortex Flash Eliminator, for that matter), yet offers equivalent, or possibly even superior, muzzle flash suppression.
It’s called the AAC BLACKOUT Flash Hider a.k.a. AAC BLACKOUT Flash Suppressor, and it’s…
