Phil Degraves, I have asked about the 7.62x25 tokarev conversion, and the general consensus from those I have asked is that it is NOT a safe conversion. Apparently the pressure is quite a bit higher. That's just what I have been told, though, no figures to back me up.
 
Ok, let me dig up my Irish collection ...

Potatoes!

You know, there are potato guns.

Being mostly of Irish forebearing, i've wondered about this. I don't believe Ireland makes their own guns. I know the military fields the AUG and i've seen pictures of counter-terrorists using old Heckler and Cough rifles. If you include what the IRA has used, you most likely already own it.

I wish i had a military arm for my Finnish side. About all i can hope for is a Mosin-Nagant.

The IRA did manufacture their own submachine guns, which they named "The Avenger".

Figures. Only us Polish could make a 1911 ugly.
 
We have one of those Nagant Gas Seals at a local gunshop. It has been rechambered to 7.62x25. That might be interesting, if it is safe. The trigger pull is horrendous though.



I don't think I'd want to fire that one! :what: :what: You'd have to make a new cylinder as the 7.62x38R is wider than the 7.62x25, at least past the bottleneck.

I'd have to collect a lot of European arms to cover my entire heritage, plus an Oneida bow...I guess a SMLE and Mauser would sum it up, though.

How about an Rk-62?

That would be a dream-come-true, but i'm not even going to think about it until they're in production and afordable again.

There's also the KP-44 pistol and maybe an upcoming KP-44 carbine, but i'm too picky to consider them.
 
Hmm.....

well i could only get my hands on a Mauser "Tonne" marked S/42,
that some nutty professor offered me. But it was too pricey plus
it is not a legalized gun. Very neat with all numbers incl mag matching,
original Holster plus 2 boxes of original ammo.

If laws were more liberal here, i´d definitely get a K98 and a Luger...
...and a "Rechsrevolver".

I actually found a LeFaucheux pocket Revolver in 7mm behind
a roof-rafter, when renovating an old house.... it was wrapped in a 1942 newspaper.... and rusted.

Just blah. Interesting thread :)

I wouldn't call that "blah". sounds liek a really neat find to me, even idf the gun was totally unuseable. I'd display it in some way, complete with the 1942 newspaper, and a card that says where it was found. There's some obvious history in a find like that, where it was, and how it was wrapped.
