Does anyone out in the big wide world have a production (Serial No. F1 and above) MAS44 with riveted side plates on the bolt carrier with the carrier numbered to the rifle? I think that "Proud...

If you would have told me a year ago I'd be interested in collecting old French autoloaders I'd have said you were nuts. But last spring I bought a 49/56 on a whim simply because of the condition,...

I figured out ERM. It's the "Etablissement Regional du Materiel" in Poitiers. It was a refurbishment facility.

Yes but it doesn't appear to fit any of them.

Howdy guys. I recently picked up a bunch of accessories for the 44 and 49 rifles but I came across a tool that I have no idea what it's for and I'm hoping you can identify it for me....

The old style aluminum are the ones that interest me most:

Well, we've arrived at the last post until I get this jobber to the range. I wanted to go today but it's just too BLAH outside. I'll get there though.

The original rear sight windage adjustment...

Well, we're in the home stretch. One more after this post and we're done for a bit. In this post, we'll look at and compare various receiver details. I wish I had access to an original for...

Alrighty then. I've been drinking whiskey this evening and I'm feeling a bit like Jim Morrison but we're going to make a go at it! Let's look at some stuff!!


We'll start with the 3 pronger...

Next up is the fire control box. HMG used an original box and simply modified it to semi-auto only purposes. Conversely, MCM went full bore and manufactured an entirely new box body while still...

It's Cerakote .

The last piece of furniture we need to look at is the pistol grip. As with the rest of the...

Next up in furniture on floor two we have handguards. Before we look at the handguard itself, I want to say something about the finish on the steel heat shield and the take down pins.

Here is the...

Next up is furniture. When I heard MCM was going to replace all of the furniture with US made bits, it did not sit well with me because I was concerned they might try to "improve" the ergonomics or...

Before we get into looking at the rest of the AMG, lets start with magazines. It is well known that the Achilles heel of the original rifle was the steel magazines. Apparently, quality control on...

I've always thought they were such beautiful aircraft; flying art really. When I was just a little guy, probably around three, my uncle gave me a 1/48 model of one he had built. My mom rigged it...

Let me warn you right off the line....this is going to be a long photo essay. And bear with me in this first post because a fair amount of commentary is needed before we get to the gun porn. This...

Alrighty...this is the last post.


Let's look at the barrels. We'll start with the bottoms:

This is where the rear...

Next, we'll look at some comparisons shots of the frames.


One of the unique features the original 210 has is the ability to remove the entire hammer group as a unit just like on a Soviet TT33....

You are quite welcome sir!


Picking up where I left off.


Let's look at the slide stops. Nobody ever seems to look at these little thingees. With many pistol designs, the oft-ignored slide...

Someone recently asked for a comparison of these two pistols so I said I'd do it.....here it is. This will without question be found wanting by some and excellent by others. Unfortunately, when...

Nice! I have a slightly larger scale version but yours is cleaner and easier to store.

I guess I'll hold on to my unissued IBM for a while. Although I'd let it go for such a stupid amount! lol

Having been buying firearms since the 80's, I've never thought of my Colt as "retro", but I guess it is nowadays. I'm getting old.

I did post it there.

Hey guys. I'm generally not a bolt action guy but I found this old clunker locally and, being that it looked like a good honest specimen and I don't think they've been imported for a long time, I...
