BERSA THUNDER 9 PISTOL RGENTINA probably doesn’t come to Amind when one calls the roll of pistol- making nations, but Bersa, S.A., has been making pocket pistols there for many years. Now the firm has stepped up to the chal- lenge of a full-sized 9 mm with the new Thunder 9. There’s such a glut of 9 mm autoloaders these days that it takes some- thing a bit out of the ordinary to make a splash, and the Thunder 9 provides it, with The Bersa Thunder 9 seems several interesting features. to have been inspired by the When first examining the Thunder 9, we elegant but very expensive Walther P88.

Like the P88, the Thunder 9 has very trim lines that follow the lead of the Browning Hi-Power, rather than the blocky shapes of many contemporary 9 mms. Like its costly German inspiration, it caters for the left-hander with bilateral controls, in the Bersa’s case, the thumb safety/decocker and slide stop. While the P88’s magazine release is ambidextrous, the Thunder 9’s is reversible for the for- gotten minority.

  • The DIY STEN Gun
    The DIY STEN Gun Practical Scrap Metal Small Arms Vol.3 By Professor Parabellum Plans on pages 11 to 18 Introduction The DIY STEN Gun is a simplified 1:1 copy of the British STEN MKIII submachine gun. The main differences however include the number of components having been greatly reduced and it's overall construction made even cruder. Using the simple techniques described, the need for a milling machine or lathe is eliminated making it ideal for production in the home environment with very limited tools. For obvious legal reasons, the demonstration example pictured was built as a non-firing display replica. It's dummy barrel consists of a hardened steel spike welded and pinned in place at the chamber end and a separate solid front portion protruding from the barrel shroud for display. It's bolt is also inert with no firing pin. This document is for academic study purposes only. (Disassembled: Back plug, recoil spring, bolt, magazine, sear and trigger displayed) (Non-functioning dummy barrel present on display model) Tools & construction techniques A few very basic and inexpensive power tools can be used to simulate machining actions usually reserved for a milling machine. Using a cheap angle grinder the average hobbyist has the ability to perform speedy removal of steel using a variety of cutting and grinding discs. Rather than tediously using a hacksaw to cut steel sheet, an angle grinder fitted with a 1mm slitting disc will accurately cut a straight line through steel of any thickness in mere seconds. Fitted with a 2mm disc it can be used to easily 'sculpt' thick steel into any shape in a fraction of the time it takes to manually use a hand file.

  • National Firearm Trigger Guard Facts
    National Firearm Facts: • Firearms are second to motor vehicles as the leading cause of death from injury in the U.S. (Public Health Data Watch, August 2000, Public Health - Seattle & King County) • 60.9% of firearms used in school-associated homicides or suicides came from the perpetrator’s home or from a friend or relative of the perpetrator. (Source of Firearms Used by Students in School - Associated Violent Deaths - United States, 1992-1999, MMWR Weekly, March 7, 2003/52(09); 169-172) • Nearly 170,000 children and youth lived in households with loaded and unlocked firearms in 2002, according to researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “It is important to identify, implement and evaluate effective methods to prevent firearm-related morbidity and mortality – from counseling youth and adults with depressive symptoms, to evaluating firearm safety technologies, to a variety of safe storage options,” the researchers conclude. Safe Storage of Guns & Ammunition Reduces Risk of Firearm Injury Risk to Youth Unloading and locking guns and ammunition in separate locations is associated with a significant decrease in firearm injuries in homes with children and teenagers, according to a study by researchers from the Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center of the University of Washington. TIPS FOR PARENTS: It is normal for young children to be curious and explore in drawers, cabinets and closets. They are also fascinated with firearms. A recent study showed that three out of four children who are 8 to 12 years old will handle a firearm they find. About half of those will pull the trigger.

    Universal Match Grade Trigger Upgrade For Savage® Actions Install Guide for Non-Accutrigger Models Phone: (704) 499-3087 • Fax: (704) 573-3768 • PO Box 49064 • Charlotte NC 28277 Required Tools: ● 5/32 Hex Wrench ● Flat Head Screw Driver ● Threat Locker ● White Lithium Grease Step 1: Getting Started First, ensure the firearm is unloaded and free of all ammunition. If your rifle has a detachable magazine, remove the magazine and set it aside. Remove the bolt and set it aside as well. Step 2: Remove The Stock On the underside of the factory stock you will find three hex head screws. The two screws closer to the muzzle hold the action into the stock. The third screw attaches the trigger guard to the stock. If you have an aftermarket stock the hex key size may be different than the standard 5/32”. Using the appropriate hex key, remove the two action screws. Step 3: Remove the Sear To remove the sear first locate the sear reset spring. Hold it in place with your thumb while you push the sear pivot pin out with the head of the screwdriver. Note: Older Savage rifles have a small bushing located inside the sear spring. The SAV-2 comes with a replacement spring that does not require the bushing. This will make installation easier. Step 4: Remove the Factory Trigger Frame With the sear pivot pin removed, the sear, trigger frame, and safety can all be removed from the action. The safety can then be removed from the trigger frame. This will free the safety detent pin.

  • Firing Process of an AR-15 Firearm Platform
    Firing Process of an AR-15 Firearm Platform Introduction of the AR-15 One of the most universal firearm systems ever created is the AR-15 platform. The AR-15 platform is a semi-automatic firearm based on the design of Eugene Stoner’s original AR-10 produced by ArmaLite in the late 1950s. In 1959, the AR-10 was converted from using a 7.62x51mm cartridge to the much smaller 5.56x45mm cartridge and the AR-15 was born. The AR is actually a shortened designation for ArmaLite, the firearm manufacturer which originally designed the firearm. The M-16 used by the United States military is based almost entirely on the AR-15 design. The construction of the AR-15 is mostly aluminum and many different manufactures have a version of their own with many of their parts being compatible with others. The firing process is how a firearm is shot, sending a projectile down range to the designated target.A Colt brand AR-15 is displayed in Figure 1. Figure 1: Colt AR-15 Hammer Pulling the Trigger Sear Trigger Assembly: 1. Trigger 2. Sear 3. Hammer Sear/Hammer Catches 4. Sear/Hammer Catches Trigger Figure 2: Trigger Assembly Every firearm has a safety with at least a fire position and a safety position where the gun cannot be fired. Once the safety is changed to the fire position it is ready to be shot. To fire the gun the trigger must be pulled. When cocked, the front sear catches the hammer and holds it in place. One the trigger is pulled the sear slides out of the way of the catch on hammer, releasing the hammer.
