Must be GREAT! Run a Luger store and have a wonderful restaurant across the street!

That shows how you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.....sharp young gun enthusiast that looks like a hippie ! Hey..most of us look kinda weird...one way or the other!

Nice, I need to make it out there and see the museum

I have seen the manuscript and the many, many examples of rifles that Bob has. He has a world class collection I have been told. Was also told that it was being finessed and added to some months ago. I would buy one

Yea, there's one that he put my name on IF and when he ever decides to sell them.

Thank you for the kind words

Thanks Ed, the video is simply great.

minigun · 09-26-2014, 12:12 PM

Yes, I never knew there was a video about it. Also, from that video link, I started watching more videos that the narrator made. I like the STG 44 replacement, Gerat 03 (or 06????)' can't recall the designation right now.....anyway it was an experimental rifle by Mauser.

Mr. Simpson, if you are reading,....in that case that the Johnson rifle is in you have a small cut-a-way of a G.43. I forgot to ask while I was there what the significance of of it was. I collect G/K.43's and was curious. Thanks.

The G43 cutaway is a perfect scale model of an original, down to working optics. It was made by Leon Crotet in Switzerland.

He made 4 examples that were not cutaways that feed, fire, & function with scale ammunition.

And yes, Ian makes great videos on his ForgottenWeapons.com web-site. That's why we were happy to let him make a video of our shop, and we are proud sponsors of his site.

Wow'sers!!!!!! I'm really into the K.43's so that would be SO neat to see the firing one. I like miniature too so that combination made my antennae go up when I saw your cut away.

Any word on the progress of the K98 trainer book that is in the making? Just wondering on a time frame. I'll bet the guys at the k98kforum would love to hear about it too.

Ian shot a video about the Trainer book project.

That should be on-line soon.....
