Well, here are a couple things we’ve noticed that you could use to alleviate that problem. Boris Karpa (who did a great job translating Dror testing reports for us a little while back) is running a Kickstarter to translate “The Soldier and Squad in Night Combat”, a WWII Soviet manual on night fighting without modern [...] We got a tip from Weaponsman that there’s a Brazilian G43 copy, called an M954, closing on GunBroker in a couple hours. These were made in .30-06, and are pretty rare items – and this one has a buy-it-now price of $3975. We don’t know the seller or anything more than the auction notes state, [...] I am happy to announce the introduction of the Forgotten Weapons Premium Membership Program today! This is a way for folks who are interested to help contribute to keeping the site running every day, and also get some cool new goodies at the same time. I do want to make clear that the web site [...] For folks who are interested in listening, my radio show with Charles Heller on America Armed & Free is now available online in mp3 format: Part 1 Part 2 Was this article worth 15 cents to you? For less than the cost of a newsstand gun magazine, you can become a Forgotten Weapons Premium Member and help support the site, as well as get some cool industry discounts and access to our Members-Only forum! There will be a couple hours of downtime on the site today (or possibly tomorrow) – we are moving onto our own dedicated server. You may have noticed timeouts or slow service in the last week or two, because we’ve reached the capacity of out current hosting setup.

Cosmoline is great stuff for protecting guns from rusting in storage, but it can be a rear bear to remove. [...] I’m happy to announce that I will be live with Charles Heller on “America Armed & Free” discussing firearms history and whatever else the conversation wanders into today, from noon until 2pm, Arizona time. It you’re in Southern Arizona, please tune in to AM 1030, KVOI to listen live – and I’ll add the link [...] Does anyone have a beater Ross Mk III (aka Ross M1910) rifle in the US that they would be willing to sell? The poorer the condition the better, as long is it’s in firing condition. Ideally, I’d like to find one that’s bee sporterized and has no finish left. It does have the be the [...] I’ve been writing this blog for a couple years now, and it has been an extremely rewarding, exciting, and educational experience. So much so that I have decided to take the plunge and make the site my full-time occupation, so that I can continue to expand and improve it. As part of this new step [...] |
