Rather than blindly following procedure, they made the right decision to save this weapon. Downside - video - http://www.necn.com/12/08/12/WW2-we...back/landing.html?blockID=811359&feedID=11106
Wow, what a find. I wonder if it still functions. I had a child hood friend who's father had a couple of WWII bring backs. He had an German MP40 sub machine gun, and an Italian SMG. Both had their barrels leaded though and were completely ruined.
Wow, what a beauty! Years ago a guy walked into a gun shop with a broom handle. He only wanted $150 for it but the owner pointed out the select fire switch and told the fellow to leave the store immediately! It was a beautiful pistol.
Awesome. I dont know if I really want one but its an amazing piece of history for sure. I'll stick to mausers.
