    Egyptian HELWAN

    Went to the local gun shop for some flashlight batteries and found something a little different...

    Egyptian Helwan 9mm; copy of the Beretta Model 1951 single stack - predecessor of the Model 92F. There were 3-4 variations; the first two were surplus Egyptian Military and Police guns - supposedly in better condition/better steel and heat treat - then the other two batches - with guess what - the Century imported commercial ones suffered from poor heat treat!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    There's another pistol I always wanted to try out. Looks like others that have followed since, copied features.

    Having looked at a few Beretta pistols before, one thing jumps out about this design, where is the safety on this model?

    Is it a cross bolt style button at the top of the grip, or is there none at all like a TT33?
