A TRUE PIONEER OF THE FIREARM INDUSTRY 4-6 Samuel Colt is one of the most well known and respected names in the firearms industry, but what many may not know is that he is also highly regarded as a pioneer of industry as a whole. EXTRACTORS 7 There are only a few parts that will actually come in contact with each and every round that is fired, and these items should be periodically inspected to prevent failure. Extractors are one of these busy little parts. UNIQUE FIREARM INVENTIONS OF WWII 8 - 9 The period surrounding WWII saw an abundance of creative inventions.

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDES 11 Can't think of what to get that one person on your holiday gifting list? Check out our guide recommendations for the best ideas. 2 | NUMRICH GUN PARTS SRM ARMS MODEL 1216 In this day and age of innovation, we are seeing a constant influx of uniquely designed firearms that are being offered with more firepower, convenience, style, and just plain cool features. However, with more and more restrictive gun laws being placed on firearm owners, many of these guns remain inaccessible in some parts of the country. Stocks are too short, capacities are too high, or they are just too scary looking for the common shooter to own. So when a gun maker brings us something that can offer some of these modern features without causing too much unwanted attention from the firearm police, it is time to take a closer look. Such is the case with SRM Arms Model 1216. This bulky looking, but yet surprisingly comfortable shotgun will impress from its first trip to the range. The 1216 shotgun has a unique rotating magazine tube platform that offers four times the capacity of a traditional tube fed shotgun. Each tube holds four 2-3/4” or 3” shells giving it total capacity of sixteen rounds, which is still a bit too scary for some areas, but most municipalities will take no issue with it. For added versatility each of these tubes can be loaded with a different ammunition type, which truly makes it a full utility use shotgun. The action is a delayed blowback semi-automatic, which has a bolt hold open function on an empty tube, and automatically chambers a round when the magazine has ammunition to feed. The sturdy one-piece magazine snaps in and out with ease, and the gun weighs just over seven pounds. Its manual safety, charging handle, and ejection port can be relocated to either side making the SRM 1216 a completely ambidextrous shotgun. It also comes in two smaller and slightly more restricted versions, an 18” barreled 12-round Model 1212 and an NFA regulated 10” barrel version. Sure SRM doesn’t yet have the name recognition of some of the larger shotgun manufacturers, such as Mossberg, Remington, or even Kel Tec, who makes the KSG dual magazine tube shotgun. However, if SRM Arms keeps making guns with innovative and creative designs like this one, it won’t be long until the world knows their name. 3 | NUMRICH GUN PARTS SRM ARMS MODEL 1216 SAMUEL COLT A TRUE PIONEER OF THE FIREARMS INDUSTRY Let's take a look back at how Samuel Colt contributed to the progression of industrialization, and some of the revolvers that helped make him a firearms legend. 4 | NUMRICH GUN PARTS Samuel Colt is one of the most well known and However, the setback was costly because young respected names in the firearms industry, but Sam Colt didn’t have a lot of money, and the cost of what many may not know is that he is also highly gunsmith’s services weren’t cheap.

  • The Magazine of the Victorian Society in America Volume 40 Number 1 Editorial
    Nineteenth Ce ntury The Magazine of the Victorian Society in America Volume 40 Number 1 Editorial The Artist’s Shadow The Winter Show at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City is always a feast for the eyes. Dazzling works of art, decorative arts, and sculpture appear that we might never see again. During a tour of this pop-up museum in January I paused at the booth of the Alexander Gallery where a painting caught my eye. It was an 1812 portrait of two endearing native-New Yorkers Schuyler Ogden and his sister, the grand-nephew and grand-niece of General Stephen Van Rensselaer. I am always sure that exhibitors at such shows can distinguish the buyers from the voyeurs in a few seconds but that did not prevent the gallery owner from engaging with me in a lively conversation about Fresh Raspberries . It was clear he had considerable affection for the piece. Were I a buyer, I would have very happily bought this little confection then and there. The boy, with his plate of fresh picked berries, reminds me of myself at that very age. These are not something purchased at a market. These are berries he and his sister have freshly picked just as they were when my sisters and I used to bring bowls of raspberries back to our grandmother from her berry patch, which she would then make into jam. I have no doubt Master Ogden and his beribboned sister are on their way to present their harvest to welcoming hands. As I walked away, I turned one last time to bid them adieu and that is when I saw its painter, George Harvey.

  • Pistols, Crime, and Public: Safety in Early America Clayton E. Cramer
    WLR44-4_OLSON-4-25-08 6/3/2008 3:46:03 PM PISTOLS, CRIME, AND PUBLIC: SAFETY IN EARLY AMERICA CLAYTON E. CRAMER1 & JOSEPH EDWARD OLSON2 There is a vigorous debate under way about the scope of the Second Amendment. What are the limits of that right? What “arms” does it protect? Does it protect an individual right to possess and perhaps to carry firearms? The District of Columbia, in its attempt to defend its 1976 gun control law, has argued that the widespread possession of handguns (“pistols”) represents an especially serious public safety hazard, and that even if arguendo, the Second Amendment protects an individual right, it would not extend to pistols, which the District of Columbia characterizes as “uniquely dangerous weapons” that present “unique dangers to innocent persons.”3 This paper examines what was likely the Framer’s original public meaning of the Bill of Rights provision that protects “the right of the people to keep and bear arms,” with no apparent limitations concerning handguns. We do so by examining what the history of pistols in early America tells us about foreseeable technological developments. I. GUNS, ARMS, FIRE-ARMS, PISTOLS: SOME DEFINITIONS A few definitions are appropriate because there have been a few subtle changes in the meaning of some of the terms over the last two centuries. “Gun” had a more restricted meaning in the eighteenth century than it does today, referring in some contexts to privately owned cannon,4 but most often to what today we call long guns: 1.

Perhaps a natural human resistance to letting go of people, or else the tendency to elevate leaders to mythic levels resulted in the rash of obelisks, statues, cemetery stones, and other aggrandized pieces of granite or marble or brownstone. Memorializing, certainly an instinctive choice for grieving families and communities, met with a war that literally hit home, personalizing death even more. In its wake, building memorials boomed as people struggled to comprehend the loss of relatives, especially the ones far away and disappeared in action; those without war losses caught the spirit of remembering through others’ efforts, and wanted to build their own, and did so if they could. For though in Lincoln’s words “we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow” the ground covering over our dead in Gettysburg or anywhere; yet with weighty stones and tributes, we still try.

  • The Colt Revolver and Its Role in American Gun Culture by Colton
    THE COLT REVOLVER AND ITS ROLE IN AMERICAN GUN CULTURE BY COLTON MICHAEL ROATH 1ST PLACE MUSEUM OF SOUTHERN HISTORY When discussing the unique culture of the United States, a popular topic of conversation is often the pervasiveness and widespread acceptance of guns within our society. Unlike most countries that have stringent firearm laws, the United States guarantees all of its citizens the right to bear arms with the Second Amendment to our Constitution, and Americans are known for taking full advantage of this right. Since our Constitution was ratified, guns have become an integral part of American society and culture, and nobody is more responsible for this than Samuel Colt. Colt created a legendary series of guns known as the Colt revolvers that outclassed its competitors by being relatively inexpensive, easy to use and durable. One of the most influential models of the Colt revolvers currently resides in Houston Baptist University’s Southern History Museum and is known as the 1860 Colt Model Army Revolver. The 1860 Colt Model Army revolver, along with the other Colt revolvers, revolutionized America’s gun culture by being affordable and reliable enough so that it was a practical purchase for even the average American. Samuel Colt’s mechanical ingenuity was first apparent during his early teenage years. He would often dismantle machines and firearms at his father’s mill and the adjacent farm he worked at so he could discover how they operated. Colt first conceived the idea for his rotating revolver mechanism at the age of sixteen while onboard a large ship named the Corvo.

  • P1130084 983. SECRET 2. Holland the Chronological Pattern Of
    P1130084 983. SECRET 2. Holland The chronological pattern of Resistance in Holland is rather different from that usual in Western Europe. S.O.E.’s efforts to establish contact were entirely unsuccessful until the spring of 1944, and there was not the usual steady growth from the days of 'Torch' to those of 'Overlord'. Dutch Resistance was not in a position to contribute much to 'Overlord', and luckily not much was required of it. But the situation continued to improve during the summer, and there was a first great crisis at the time of the Arnhem landing, Operation 'Market'. The Arnhem landing failed, and Holland was then of necessity abandoned to its most bitter winter of the whole war. Perhaps one-third of the country was free, the rest was almost in the front line; even when the Armes paused for breath savage underground war continued in Holland. Reorganisation in London We have followed (1) S.O.E. Is early plans to the point of their complete collapse in the winter of 1943-44. One result of the disaster was a thorough reorganisation in London. On the British side Cdr. Johns was in January 1944 appointed Regional Director for the Low Countries, in February Major Bingham was replaced by Lt.Col. Dobson (previously of the Belgian Section) as officer in charge of the Dutch Section. On the Dutch side there was no change in the arrangements for the secret intelligence branch (B.I.) which was still the field of M. Van't Sant, acting through Major Somer: but the military side was turned upside down.
