October 20, 2012 Ian McCollum 11

The BAR sure got around, didn’t it? This is a Polish wz.28 Belgian Modele 30 model in China (thanks to Leszek for the correction).

Vintage Saturday: LMG Variety Pack

October 6, 2012 Ian McCollum 9

Vintage Saturday: Motorized Type 38 Arisakas

July 21, 2012 Ian McCollum 11

If they all fire in the same direction simultaneously, that cart will exceed the maximum speed of a Type 89 medium tank. Okay, I’m exaggerating. A bit. (I know someone will chime in to defend […]

Chinese C96 Mauser Stock/Bayonet

June 4, 2012 Ian McCollum 6

Here’s an interesting item we ran across recently – a combination bayonet and shoulder stock made by the Chinese for the C96 “Broomhandle” Mauser (and also the TT33 Tokarev, I believe). This design is relatively […]
