1852 Slant-Breech Sharps

December 15, 2014 Ian McCollum 23
Reader Kymm was kind enough to load me this rifle to video, with a particular interest in seeing the amount of gas leakage (or lack thereof) on high-speed footage. This early model of Sharps featured […]

Slow Motion: lMG 08/15 Maxim

December 11, 2014 Ian McCollum 16
Today we’re looking at a luftgekühlt maschinengewehr 08/15 in slow motion – a lightened and mair-cooled version of the Maxim used on German WWI aircraft. This particular example is set up as a Zeppelin gun, […]

December 8, 2014 Ian McCollum 7
Thanks to reader John D, we have a chance today to look at a very scarce Danish-made copy of the AG-42B Ljungman rifle. The Madsen company in Denmark made about 50 of these rifles for […]

Clever Double Barrel Sporting Rifle at RIA

December 3, 2014 Ian McCollum 17
This double-barreled sporting rifle made by Christoph Funk in Germany is not much like the typical over-under double-barreled rifle. It began as a fairly standard Mauser bolt action, chambered in 7×57 Mauser with a 5-round […]

American Eagle Lugers at RIA

December 2, 2014 Ian McCollum 20
Many people are aware of the .45 caliber Lugers made for US military field trials – but far fewer people realize that Lugers were both tested by the US military and sold commercially several years […]

December 1, 2014 Ian McCollum 25

Roth-Sauer Automatic Pistol at RIA

November 30, 2014 Ian McCollum 24
The Roth-Sauer is a rare early automatic pistol designed by Karel Krnka, financed by Georg Roth, and manufactured by J.P. Sauer & Sohn in Germany. It is mechanically quite complex – much moreso than strictly […]

November 28, 2014 Ian McCollum 20
Colonel LeMat is best known for his 9-shot muzzleloading .42 caliber revolver with its 20 gauge shot barrel acting as cylinder axis pin – several thousand of these revolvers were imported and used in the […]

Colt-Burgess 1883 Carbine at RIA

November 27, 2014 Ian McCollum 8
The 1883 Colt-Burgess was the Colt company’s single, brief endeavor to enter the lever action “cowboy” rifle market. Winchester had been making some moves to break into Colt’s lucrative shotgun and pistol markets, and Colt […]
