For me, part of the process of learning about small arms includes photographs, manuals, manufacture boards,studying the actual weapons them self and studying cut away weapons. So I have decided to start a section on cut away weapons. I do own a few cut away and I take pictures of others when ever possible.
This first weapon is a Belgium Rolling Block rifle that was at the Belgium Military Museum. I strongly recommend that you visit this museum. I spent an entire day there and am looking forward to going back.
A close up of the same action.
Sorry about the blurry picture. I was just starting with the digital camera and to this day still have a great deal to learn.
I just love cutaway guns … perhaps it is the best way to study the mechanism!
thanks for this, looking at the working parts is fascinating
Here is a cut-away AR10, from a private colelction in Europe.
