Hi, all. I'm looking for information on 1895 Nagant revolvers manufactured by the Leningrad Optical-Mechanical Factory, Factory #349. My sources say that the GOMZ produced these revolvers in 1942 and 1943, and I'd be interested in knowing if any of them were sold as surplus over here. These...

This is something that a Russian designer named Baryshev has worked out; a CONTROLLABLE full-auto full-power rifle that operates as a delayed blow-back. He has made these in calibres from 5.45 to 30mm grenade, and the link shows the 7.62x39, 7.62x54, and 30mm versions being fired, with a...

Believe it or not, this is a working black powder percussion single-shot pistol, made by a machinist in Nevada ( http://www.maxton.com/c18add.shtml ) who specializes in making puzzles. This puzzle has 125 pieces, can be assembled with a laser sight, is an AOW (apparently because it doesn't...

I'm busy researching various Russian gunsmiths right now, and I ran across this story that had more than a shade of our favourite DEA agent to it at http://korrespondent.net/strange/526527 . At a press conference in Szechuan, after a sweep to confiscate illegal weapons, one of the police...

I just saw this, and thought some here might enjoy it as well; the Russians (specifically, the "Molot" (Hammer) factory that builds the RPK/RPK-74) have expanded their line-up of full-auto air-guns, and are now producing an airgun version of the Papasha; CO2-powered, firing BBs, using 12-gram...

Hi all; I've searched all of my books, and ran Google into the ground looking for any additional information on this oddball "squeeze pistol"/derringer, but haven't found much. All I know is that it's 96mm long with a 81mm barrel, that it was built by "Teknika" in Hungary, and it was designed by...

I'm reading through S.B. Monetchikov's "History of Russian Assault Rifles", and he mentions this downright freaky rifle designed by V.S. Yakushchev at TsNIITOChMASh during the 1970s; a side-by side AK variant, with one side firing the standard 5.45x39mm round, and the other side firing a special...

I just ran across these pictures of (believe it or not), a 50-calibre light machine gun (known as the 6P62), built by the Degtyarev Arms Factory. 14-round box magazine-fed, firing the 12.7x108mm Soviet HMG round, and able to pierce up to 20mm of armour with their new API round. There are even...

From those tricky Russians at Tula's TsKIB SOO ("Central Design & Research Bureau for Shooting and Hunting Weapons") comes the OTs-62, a 5-shot 12-gauge REVOLVER (2 3/4" chambers); it's basically a cut-down version of their MTs-255 revolving shotgun. It might be fun to play with for a while, but...

SOMEBODY screwed up big-time at a demo in France, as live ammo was issued and fired instead of the expected blanks :eek: 17 wounded, with 4 critical, including a child. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23943890-12335,00.html Carcassonne, France | June 30, 2008 FOUR...

I just saw a pointer to this course on a blog I frequent; sounds like it might be fun, if nothing else. http://caliber3.webads.co.il/ http://joesettler.blogspot.com/2008/05/learn-to-shoot.html

not to mention a bunch of other things :-) Check out this site full of beautiful miniatures made in Russia (their miniature AK is sweet too). http://www.miniaturearsenal.ru/en/guns/part.1/m.39/ph.14/

Just saw this pop up while reading an unrelated article: http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/1756 Washington House Judiciary casts vote to strip gun owners of right to jury trial By CCRKBA Wednesday, February 6, 2008 The Washington State House Judiciary Committee cast its...

This was posted this morning on a blog I read, and it sounds like this guy is going to be in for a long, rough ride: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5303222.html Recording of 911 call: http://katewerk.com/temp/shooting.mp3

Please tell me that someone here had something to do with this :D http://www.trebuchet.com/skeet I'm thinking that someone said "Here, hold my beer" while this was being thunk up and put into practice.

The thread on the Russian less-than-lethal pistols made me think of this page I saw a while ago; http://englishrussia.com/?p=965 These are pictures of a bunch of the things that have been seized during the Chechen war, ranging from re-stocked Mosins and sawed-off shotgun pistols, to home-made...

Hi all; I've got a few ideas for building some large-capacity (100 rounds plus) 10/22 mags, and I'm sort of curious if they've been tried before; I've researched and used the Ramline in-line designs, the PPS-50 drums, and the MWG tear-drops, but I'm wondering if anyone here has any pictures of...

I'm flipping through a copy of Hy Hunter's 1956 catalog I got off of Ebay, and on the back page, they show a quartet of the world's ugliest rifles. These were semi-"custom" sporters built on FN Mauser, Remington, and Winchester actions, with gold-plated barrels, trigger-guards, and actions, so...
