  • International Military Cartridge Rifles and Bayonets
    INTERNATIONAL MILITARY CARTRIDGE RIFLES AND BAYONETS The following table lists the most common international military rifles, their chambering, along with the most common bayonet types used with each. This list is not exhaustive, but is intended as a quick reference that covers the types most commonly encountered by today’s collectors. A Note Regarding Nomenclature: The blade configuration is listed, in parentheses, following the type. There is no precise dividing line between what blade length constitutes a knife bayonet vs. a sword bayonet. Blades 10-inches or shorter are typically considered knife bayonets. Blades over 12-inches are typically considered sword bayonets. Within the 10-12 inch range, terms are not consistently applied. For purposes of this chart, I have designated any blade over 12 inches as a sword bayonet.

  • Thompson Brochure 9Th Edition.Indd
    9th Edition Own A Piece Of American History Thompson Submachine Gun General John T. Thompson, a graduate of West Point, began his research in 1915 for an automatic weapon to supply the American military. World War I was dragging on and casualties were mounting. Having served in the U.S. Army’s ordnance supplies and logistics, General Thompson understood that greater fi repower was needed to end the war. Thompson was driven to create a lightweight, fully automatic fi rearm that would be effective against the contemporary machine gun. His idea was “a one-man, hand held machine gun. A trench broom!” The fi rst shipment of Thompson prototypes arrived on the dock in New York for shipment to Europe on November 11, 1918 the day that the War ended. In 1919, Thompson directed Auto-Ordnance to modify the gun for nonmilitary use. The gun, classifi ed a “submachine gun” to denote a small, hand-held, fully automatic fi rearm chambered for pistol ammunition, was offi cially named the “Thompson submachine gun” to honor the man most responsible for its creation. With military and police sales low, Auto-Ordnance sold its submachine guns through every legal outlet it could. A Thompson submachine gun could be purchased either by mail order, or from the local hardware or sporting goods store. Trusted Companion for Troops It was, also, in the mid ‘20s that the Thompson submachine gun was adopted for service by an Dillinger’s Choice offi cial military branch of the government. The U.S. Coast Guard issued Thompsons to patrol While Auto-Ordnance was selling the Thompson submachine gun in the open market in the ‘20s, boats along the eastern seaboard.

  • 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.
