COVER One of the guns under consideration for adoption as the new shoulder weapon for the United States Armed Forces in the 6% pound full-automatic AR-10, built of aluminum and plastic by the "Annalite" division of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation, Los Angeles, California. Chambered for the 30 NATO cartridge, the AR-10 uses 20-round magazines but can be fed from 250-round belts, two of which can be back-packed by the rifleman. It may add up to 500 rounds of full-automatic firepower per infantryman.

The 1st Michiam Artillery Volunteers of Detroit, a group of hobbyists who wear Civil War uniforms, carried off top honors at the 2nd annual Muzzle Loader's Turkey Shoot held at Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Mich. . , Competing against two similar groups in tests of marksmanship, the 1st Michi- gan took two firsts and a second . . .The Huron Rangers Riflemen fromPort Huron, Mich., named after Co. E of the 5th Michigan (1861-'65) Infy., and the 111th -Ohio Volunteer Infantry of Toledo, tied for second . . . The 8-man military teams used balloon, metal container, and wooden stake targets at 50 yards . . . Ninety-seven shooters also went after turkey prizes and 15 succeeded. The object was to hit a disappearing simulated turkey head at 25 yards offhand . . . In an exhibition match of old versus new, two 8-man muzzle loader teams, defeated , two-man teams of regular Army and the Marine marksmen. With each group blazing away at 16 balloons 50 yards away; the 1st Michigan team nosed out by seconds Marine T/Sgts. Phillip Sanborn of Flint, Mi~h., and Leroy Wallace of Evansville, Indiana . . . Frank Gay, Richland, Mich., of the Southern Mich. Gun Club, won the 25-yard rifle event . . . Smoking up the 25-yard pistol range was first place winner Carl Brabec of Roseville, Mich., member of the Wolverine Muzzle-loaders . . . E. D. Campbell of the Grosse lie, Mich., Wyandotte M-L club took first in the 25-yard revolver shoot . . . the 50-yard off-hand rifle event was copped by Clark Frazier of the Shawnee Long Rifles of Rawson, Ohio, and 0. D. Dickinson of Lincoln Park, Mich., won first place in the bench rest match.

Middlefield, Conn. In the Conn. State big bore league Roslyn took top honors , with a brilliant tally of 148 wins and only two lost matches throughout the entire season. Middlefield took second place, 142-8, and the Magnum club rated third, winning 135 and losing but 15 . . . At the end of the list, Bogota and -Nawatuck tied for last place, 0 wins, 150 lost. Why? . . . The very beautiful Wonsicki Memorial Trophy was put into league competition this year and Willing of Roslyn was the winner with an average of 122.8 . . . Second place and silver medal went to Don Bush with a season's average of 121.6 . . . To Zarlick with 120.6 went the third place bronze metal . . . In the Nutmeg Rifle League recent scores left Middlefield with five clean wins, no lost games: Enfield with 4-1; and New Britain in third place showing three wins, two lost . . . In the Mohegan Rifle League, Pachaq stands 4-0, with Sprague second having won four, lost one, and the Mystic team 3-1.

New Haven, Conn. The long range indoor match held at the Winchester club range was supposed to be a disappointment because only 59 competitors attended, but from where we sit it compares darn favorably with some of the less enthusiastic shooting circles in other parts of the country . . . Barbara Norton won the 50- yard metallic sight event with a score of 200-16X . . . Second was Walter Tomsen firing 200-13X . . . Marjorie Firrantello, a junior from Stratford, took third place with 199-16X. This isn't the first time Marjorie has been on these pages: we predict it won't be the last . . . Expert Kermit Montross wore the laurels of the 50-yard any-sight event barely missing a completely perfect score by shooting 200-18X. . . Tomsen made his mark again with second place, 200-18X, and Carl Johnson scored 200-17X for third. . . All the aggregates fell to Tomsen who scored finally 400-31X in the 50-yard event, 400-30X in the scope aggy,and 600- 43X in the grand aggy . . . Jill Haig was second with 399-27X and K. J. Montross third with 398-26X in the.50 yard aggregate . . . H. II, Stone scored second in tallying up the scope finals, 400-23X. with Carl Johnson third racking up -a 397-26X . . . Grand aggy second was Lloyd Norton who shot 596-36X. Jill Haig ..'f,q - -. *<,.-*.y ,.,. took third honors with 595-36X. .a Wheaton. 111. The roundup of the Western league shows Wheaton still top dog, with Plachy, Deal,Borgf'eldt, Knight, and Putman clubbing together to punch out 967 over St. Charles' team tally of 955. But they had a little matter of chance on their side: 18 of the Weaton "Bulldogs' showed up at their home kennel as compared to the 10 of the St. Charles men who had to drive a distance to shoot . . . Grease-monkey Overtoom who practices in his garage puts the skids on the --Austin team by heading the Oak Park quintet comprising Hanson, Prchal, Volz, and old Mullins who just barely shot three points ahead of Austin on the latter's range, 959 over 956. Austinites Jobson, Schmiedl, Edwards, PatlaL and ~'~rnore were the top five of 19 Austin schooters . . . Des Plaines put up a good fight but lost out to Elgin at the latter's range. The Des Plaines fivesome were the top of 12 shooters. Statistics don't always give the palm to the biggest club: Elgin numbered only nine men, but they evidently had "just enough to win." Des Plaines : 919 ; Elgin: 924 . . . Still low men on the totem pole despite not one but at least two really keen gunners, the Joliet club lost out to Aurora on Joliet's range. Some 12 Aurora shooters travelled an aggregate of well over 1000 miles to attend that match: seven Joliet shooters drove around the corner to lose, 916 to 955. But the Joliet scores weren't bad. W. Richards, a sparkplug of the club, fired 193. R. Surges shot 188. F. JohansenL a real wheel horse on any team, didn't do so well with only 185. E. Repenn shot 178 and H. Kimble scored 172. Jacking each man up five points would change that Joliet tale of woe. Fresno, California. The eighth annual shoot for the California state muzzle loading championships will be held April 25, 26, 27 and 28 on the Cal State ML Rifle Association range near Fresno . . . This is one of the top shooting events of the golden west, and combines spectator interest with competition as tough as the 1000-yard range at Perry. Numerous events and many prizes will be featured at this important shoot. Full information for entrants from Association secretary Charles Solastrop, 3948 Bartley Drive, Sacramento 22, California. Coral Gables, Florida. Thirty-two pistol shooters came in out of the benign Florida sunshine to compete at the Police Pistol Club's last indoor match . . . High man in the open class was L. D. Santwn with 1679 for a gold trophy. Sant- man copped first honors by firing 554 in the -45 course altho he ran third in smaller bores . . . Ken Cowan, a shooter whose name is pretty familiar in the winner's ranks from the sunshine state, fired first in the -22 with 575 for a gold trophy, second in the centerfire match with only 553, and 549 in the -45 joust for second overall and a silver trophy . . . Top expert was M.Sgt. Goodfellow who ran away with gold trophies in all minor matches for a gold trophy leading the aggy with 1654 . . . Second expert 0: H. Council fired 1611 . . . First sharpshooter R. Pow scored 1557; first marksman was Joe Altman who gained a silver trophy in the centerfire and won the aggy with 1445. Good shooting for a marksman, guess they'll be boosting him up a rung if he wins too many more . . . Goodfellow and Harvey Dunn linked up to win the team match by a terrific 574, thirty-seven points ahead of experts A. L. Peltier and H. L. Baker who took second with 537. Norman, Oklahoma. Seven dead-eye Dicks of Oklahoma U's rifle team regained any school honors they may have lost at last month's Claremore match by defeating the University of Missouri rifle team at the Norman range in what would be comparable to a runaway match in football. . . . The Oklahoma University shooters posted their highest score of the season, a terrific 1897 total, to win over Missouri's 1726. . . . Looks like the "Show Men guys must have just lost heart somewhere midway in the match, and no wonder. . . . Fine scores characterized the 0. U. Army team's win, Bob Loschke firing 386, Robert Lewellen second with 383, Jonathan Hankins with an even 380, Vance Carson, 375, Ken Baltes shooting 373, Dave Stritzin~371, and Robert Cobb, 352. . . . These undefeated Army team marksmen who also constitute most of the University's collegiate team have won four shoulder to shoulder matches and eight postal matches without defeat this year. The Missouri match was the last shoulder to shoulder match for the season. . . . The "Sooner" team under coach M/Sgt. Mike Carp is optimistic about their chances in the Fourth Army Area Intercollegiate Matches and the Hearst Trophy Matches. Guess they earn their nickname-they'd "soonern win than lose.

New weapon uses innovations including predominantly light alloy and plastic construction. Breech, broken for field stripping, uses multi-lug bolt (at right) turned by small slot on sleeve which gas pipe blows back in firing. Sullivan presented was the idea of a shoulder rifle so light, so controllable in full-automatic fire, that each soldier could advance at a run firing up to 500 shots, continuously. Sullivan's rifle used standard detachable clip magazines, but the California lawyer- inventor intended to feed the gun from two 250-pound canisters strapped on the soldier's back, weighing in all hardly more than 20 pounds. Such a bullet shield would allow the attackers to advance behind a leaden umbrella during the most dangerous phase of the assault. The Pentagon was interested. Mass issue of light, full-automatic rifles to the armies of even minor powers like Egypt had brought the Army at last to the long-delayed moment of de- cision. They were now ready to adopt Light rifles issued to other nations forces, such as Russian SKS-46's used by a fully automatic shoulder rifle if some- near-eastern nations, stresses need for light rifle designing like U.S.'s Armalite. body would show how ammunition supply for such weapons could be maintained. The double back-packs iolding 500 rounds would be an an- wer. After all, if the mission is ac- somplished, no ammunition supply ~roblemis too difficult. Sullivan recently showed the Army nis AR-10, the first aluminum and plastic gun to be considered seriously for adoption by the U.S. Army, and one of the first non-ferrous guns to be made anywhere. But of as much interest to the average gun enthusiast ire the other weapons Sullivan has illowed to gather dust while he's been levoting all the possible time to AR-10. In the office at Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation's "Armalite" division in Los Angeles are half a dozen working shotguns and sporting rifles Pouring plastic mix from Dixie cup to mould front handguard is one of the most of super-lightweight alloy and plastics. difficult steps in making AR-10 rifle which is engineered for easy production. Most of these have been tested and found satisfactory in the field. De- Stoner and plant superintendent Charles Dorchester (right) discuss drawings velopment of the AR-10 has brought of AR-10 in Stoner's office where chief engineer's gun collection is displayed. these experimental weapons near to production. And the manufacturing lessons learned on the AR-10 can be applied to sporting guns. AR-10 can now be produced economically in mass quantities, with no special production equipment other than that already being used for production of other aluminum and plastic products. Sullivan had already licked the critical manufacturing problem, the use of light alloys. Working with engineers of Alcoa, Harvey, and other aluminum companies, he had developed the strongest aluminum alloy yet seen. The precise composition of the alloy is secret, but it is predominantly aluminum with small proportions of

16 ailicon, manganese, magnesium, and other elements. The ultimate tensile strength of the alloy is 100,000 pounds per square inch, a figure that can be compared with the 150,000 pounds per square inch ultimate tensile strength of steel barrels. Arrnalite engineer Eugene Stoner, a former Marine and Army ordnance man, points out that the yield rather than the ultimate tensile strength of steel is more closely comparable to the aluminum figure. Aluminum's yield point and ultimate strengths do not vary as widely as steel's. The yield strength of steel barrels is 125,000 pounds per square inch. For normal sporting use, aluminum for the barrel is adequate. In "cold barrel operation" such as might be expected in a sporter Sullivan uses barrels of aluminum. For the military full-automatic AR-10, a steel liner is inserted into the aluminum barrel. The full automatic rifle fires its 20- shot magazine in two second40 rounds per minute~andbarrel temperatures rise almost immediately to 600 degrees Centigrade.

The steel liner can be made by conventional AR-10 breech is protected from dust and dirt since spring cover dues machinery. There are two advantages ejection port and strong waffle-creased clip is shrouded by frame. to this aluminum-steel construction. The first advantage is the cooling. Aluminum dissipates heat three times as fast as steel. Armalite engineers have aided. this cooling process by grooving deep cooling fins into the steel-lined barrel, thus exposing more radiating surface to the air. The second advantage is that the steel liner can be made of harder steel than is possible with the all-steel barrel. This is because the rifling is rolled into the inner surface of the thin bore liner by swedging the barrel tube around a rifled mandrel. This prints the rifling marks from the mandrel into the steel of the barrel, at the same time compressing the steel and work-hardening it. The result is a glass-smooth bore surface, and steel of far greater strength than in drilled barrels. Such swedged rifling barrels have longer barrel life and greater strength. And there is a considerable weight saving in the aluminum barrel. The steel barrel of the old Ml weighed 2% pounds; the AR-10 barrel, complete with steel liner, weighs only -1% pounds. Another advantage claimed by Ar- malite engineers is the damping of longitudinal (Continued on page 45) F. J.

NEXT BEST THING TO REAL DUELLING 1CONDITIONS AS TEST OF QUICK-DRAW By ARTHUR C. ROSS

LOT OF PEOPLE talk about quick-draw combat shoot- A ing, but only a few men ever really match their draw- and-fire speed against a shooting-back target. Now you can do just that-without risking anything more important than some personal embarrassment. You can do it by shooting it out with the Robot Dueller, the mechanical man who i matches your reflex time and your gun speed and accu- Ruled line indicates approximate lethal area of target.

racy against his electrical impulses~andshoots back if you fail to beat him. Many factors enter into the actual man-to-man shoot-out of the type made famous by old time western gunfighters, of the type experienced all too frequently today by law enforcement officers and sometimes by combat soldiers. Success in such an encounter-and in this instance success means survival-means far more than mere speed in getting a gun out of its holster, pocket, or any carrying position selected, and blasting a shot through the barrel. It means (a) how long does it take you to get into effective action after you are warned of danger, (b) how fast can your muscles perform the functions of the draw-and-fire, and (c) how accurately can you place that first shot on a target. No one of these tests-nor even any two of them- is enough if you are pitted against a man who will kill you unless you kill him first. There is another factor in this equation-the most important factor of all. perhaps. in the business of combat Chief of Police G. B. Doublas of Port Arthur, Texas, believes Robot Dueller is tops for police combat training.

shooting. That factor has been called "the will (or willingness) to kill." The Robot Dufcller is willing, his nerves are cold metal, and there is no emo- tion in him. Your willingness to kill is not really tested when you shoot against him, because you know that he is a man of metal and gadgets, not flesh and blood. But it is odd how real he seems when you face him. Particu- larly when you have faced him before and know that he will shoot back if you fail to beat him.

The booby-trap lay in the cartridges -a tubular roll of brown paper with the bullet in one end, with the rest of the tube filled with 50 to 80 grains of black powder, held in place by dou- bling over the end of the tube and by the bullet-lubricating wax with which the tube was coated. The bullet was .568 inch in diameter smaller than bore diameter to permit easy loading from the muzzle. 11 was a heavy slug, 530 grains in weight, with a concave base. The hollow in the base caused the explosion of the powder to expand the bullet which filled the rifling grooves in the barrel, thus providing rifled spin for better accuracy at long ranges. But because the new "ball" did. 1 after expansion, fit tightly in the barrel, the normal fouling produced by black powder was a serious obstacle to continuous firing. This problem was solved by providing, as an integral part of the cartridge itself, a lubricant which prevented the powder fouling from hardening. Kept soft, the foul-

The lubricant was a part of the wax coating with which the cartridge was sealed. It was mutton-tallow mixed with the wax. So far, so good. But the booby- trap.went off with a bang when Britain sent these rifles-and these cartridges -to their armies in India. The two great religious groups in India are the Hindu and the Moham- medan. Native leaders who smarted under British rule in India passed the word secretly that the lubricant con- tained in the new Enfield load was a mixture of hog and beef tallow. If true, this meant that the cartridge in native hands was an insult to the Cross section of bullet shows hollow base with hardwood plug used to cause soldiers of both Indian religions.

In his faith, the taking of life is an unnardonable sin. A devout Mo- hammedan has no aversion to the tab ing of life, but he has very definite beliefs about which animals are clean and which are unclean. A pig, in Moslem eyes, is just about the un- cleanest thing on earth. To eat or touch pig flesh is to be forever barred from the joys of heaven. And the En- field cartridge was loaded by biting through the bullet end of the paper tube, breaking out the bullet, . the powder down into the barrel and ramming the bullet in after. The British governor-general in Cal- cutta tried to rectify the blunder by sending out word that the cartridge grease was "nothing but mutton fat and bee's wax."

The poison of the "defiled" cartridge was too much for the native soldiers who were called Sepoys: swarthy men, excellently trained and disciplined, truly formidable fighters.

active shooters~men. women, and children who are shooting fans. One indication of the rapid growth of pellet gun shooting is the fact that in 1956 over 400,000,000 rounds of pellet -gun ammunition were fired, and this total includes reports of only the major manufacturers. Pellet gun shooting is expanding rapidly, to the stage where it is becoming, in many areas, as much a part of the suburban recreational scene as ping-pong and croquet. Most of the pellet guns now on the market have certain general characteristics in common. First of all, although they are not firearms, they are real guns and must be handled with the same precautions. Power for the shot is provided by compressed air in some models, by carbon dioxide gas in others, both under high pressure. Instead of "live" ammunition these guns shoot hollow-tailed pellets of soft lead that are specially designed to flatten on impact, giving them a tendency to drop straight down from the target. The better grades of pellets are ballistically engineered to assure gyroscopic stability for high target accuracy. Most of the major pellet gun lines standardize on .22 caliber and .177 caliber barrels. Sheridan air-powered pellet guns take a special .200 caliber pellet. In this matter of calibers, there seems to be general agreement that the smaller caliber guns will give you somewhat tighter target groups. The ammo cost is cheaper, too, though this is really a negligible factor since you'll pay less than half a cent per shot whether you use the .177 or the Screen star n Leslie learned long ago that shooting is .22.

AMERICAN SHOTGUNS, ALTHOUGH MASS PRODUCED, ARE REFINED AND

MADE SAFE BY HAND FINISHING AND ENDLESS PRECAUTIONS

By COLONEL CHARLES ASKINS

HE AVERAGE shooter knows about T as much of the manufacture of a modern firearm as he does about the inner machinations of the Sicilian Mafia. He is told the gun- is machine- made-that is. mass oroduced. To him, this means that maybe they are stamped out like doughnuts. Actually, in the making of the garden-run pump shotgun, standard though it is to the last nut and bolt, 70 percent of the cost is caused by the hand-fitting and finishing. One of our finest double - - shotguns fetches a staggering sum simply because 95 percent of the king's ransom that goes into it is for hand- finishing. The shotgun has been slow in development. Right after the first inte- gration effort, now variously referred

I Straight- ening barrels is still a hand operation. Earl Ros- back, Rernington craftsman, stud - ies shadow lines to see whether tube is straight. Careful, painstaking handwork by skilled stocker goes into the final checkering of a fine Ithaca trap gun.

to as the War Between the States (Southern) or Civil War (Northern), the scattergun was notable for a pair of tubes that had to be charged at the muzzle, a stock as crooked as old Bugle's hindleg, outside hammers, and magnum gauges: bores like 4, 6 and 8. But during the shank end of the 19th century some changes took place. The Anson and Deeley action, a true ham- merless, replaced the antiquated, dog- eared and muzzle-charged fusee, and other - changes possibly even more revolutionary became commonplace. Best of these was the inventive genius of John Browning, who produced both pump-action and auto-loading scatterguns. It was during this epoch period that shotgun barrels lost their straight f cylinder barrels and gained a constriction at the muzzle which vastly improved lethality. Just who it was who struck 'on the happy business of pinching .down the muzzle, adding "choke" as it is called, ' is a matter of some debate. The Eng- lish say they first discovered this handy wrinkle, and there are other claimants, none probably with a more legitimate case than Fred Kimble. This Illinois market gunner used a 6- bore single-barrel and frequently sacked up a hundred mallards during a morning's powder burning. His old I

Winchester Model 12's and Model 50's though mass-produced, require many hours of handwork, countless inspections.

31 6 bore had a cylinder barrel-as did all shotguns of the day-and was exceedingly short ranged. Kimble pon- dered the limitations of his weapon and determined to improve its killing power. He made and bored another barrel into which he purposely ground a considerable amount of muzzle constriction. When he patterned this new tube, he found it scattered the pellets all over a barn door. Disgusted and convinced he was on the wrong track, he returned to the lathe and determined to remove all the choke. This he did and again patterned the 6 bore. Much to his delight he found he now had a remarkably close-shooting gun. It would, according to Kimble, place the entire shot load in a 30-inch circle at 40 yards. (This has not been done since!) He measured the bore diameter and closely checked the muzzle and found that instead of removing all the choke he had in- advertently left something like -05-inch of constriction. Thus was choke-boring discovered. Word got around fast. The 'smiths on either side of the Atlantic were not slow to employ the pinched-in effect on their scatterguns. This was back during the days when Custer got his hair lifted. Surprisingly, or maybe I should say disappointingly, precious little has been done to improve the shotgun tube since the Kimble discovery. Differ- ent degrees of choke have been developed to produce patterns of varying densities, but the principle is the same. Those were the days when shotgun barrels were made of Damascus steel. A Damascus barrel was made by twisting alternating bands of iron and steel about a mandrel. As the ribbons were slowly wound about, the core of the work was hammered to weld and flow the metal into a homogeneous mass. Various patterns were created in the outer barrel surfaces, depending on how the strips of iron and steel were interwoven. The quality of the tubes could be told almost at a glance by the pattern. The finer and more graceful the design the most costly the barrels. A fine Damascus shotgun was indeed a handsome piece of ordnance. Twist steel barrels and laminated steel barrels were the poor cousins. Both were made after the fashion, essen- A & D box lock action like Webley double (top) from tially, of the Damascus, but neither was as good.
