Well the SAR show is over and everyone is now heading home or all ready there. This is the run down from the entire weekend.
Starting on Wednesday we have a little pre SAR machine gun shoot. Everything went perfect with the shoot, the weather was absolutely the best with a little cloud cover and no wind. Once again we took out the Gerat 06 rifles for everyone to try out. There were the usual MG42’s and 34’s, Brens and Lewis guns, a very nice 08 Maxim, 1919’s as well as a few cannons. And an assortment of sub-machine guns. Everyone had a great time.
At the show I was able to obtain some more for the Farquhar Hill rifle. I still need a bolt. If anyone knows where one is at please let me know.
I also picked up a few examples for the reference collection.
Some more books and manuals were also gotten for the library.
The Saturday pizza party went over very well. A number of people brought some very interesting items to show everyone.
This is a very nice Scotti X
A pair of Lecker pistols. One civilian and one military.
In addition the new Cetme L was also at the show and party. I had an opportunity to shoot it at the Wednesday shoot. I can’t wait to get one. It looks and functions great.
It was a great show, a great party and a great shoot. I am counting down the days until the next show.
Outstanding!
Good to see the CETME L. The emblem on the RH side of the safety mounting is a nice touch.
Is that black handguard a US part?
Pete
Yes that is a U.S. compliance part
You don’t really need all those pistols do you?
I don’t need the Jo Lo Ar btw …
Lecker or Jaeger pistols ?
I think its a mistake
you are probably correct. I just know I want one.
Thanks again for the hospitality. It was a great week between the show, the shoot, and the social!
Ever notice the Jaeger pistol design is ideal for a home workshop build ?
It can be modernised and simplified a lot as well to loose most of the machining operations.
I have drawn up basic plans for this including a locked breech variant that uses the two studs on the barrel running in cam tracks in the side plates.
Some dimensions of the original Jaeger would be nice if someone could publish them.
