Back to the first post and link. General Motors was very active in the war effort. I especially liked pictures eleven and twelve and saw that display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force when I was back there in 2011. On the same trip I saw another at the Springfield Armory in Mass. A rarely known item they produced. But very interesting. I've had mine for about 30 years. First picture is from the Springfield Armory, looks polished or plated, the other is mine. I found the 116 page book by R. W. Koch copyright 1976 (1 of 1,000) in 1985. Quite informative and I think adds something to the pistol. I read these were selling for $40 in Canada around 1972. Todays prices can be in the thousands.
Shooting the FP-45 Liberator Pistol (45 ACP) aka …:
Yeah, Thanks...i was watching a video and when he got to the part of taking out the mag catch and safety, he said "now the hard part" hmm, looks like he's been doing this awhile now and to strip his receiver he used only the Operating Guide Rod as his tool vor the whole job and when he took out the mag catch he placed his thumb i guess from the spring and plunger from flying across the room in a way he caught it with his thumb nail at a angle and it stopped it, i think i will do this inside a quarter pound bag just incase i miss the plunger from flying off somewhere, Thanks
I watched the vid for a bit thinking we might watch an actual Liberator go to pieces while being shot, then he said it was a re- make...oh, OK...I'd still rather pound my 191A1 instead.
