The first production model of the FAL rifle was as noted, the FAL 'Canada'. FN has introduced numerous modifications and improvements in the interveningyears, and many early FAL components are not interchangable with later models. The Metric FAL provides an illustrated guideto which parts fit what FAL, along with the complete, official BATF list of exempted (legal) 'G'-series FN FALs which were sold in the USA. The FAL Rifle concludes with a comprehensive index to all three volumes, originally published separately as The FAL Series Index by Eino Sierpe and R Blake Stevens.

Much maligned today, the CSRG (Chauchat) machine rifle was in fact the most manufactured automatic weapon of WWI, outnumbering every other machinegun made, by the Allies and the Central Powers. It was the world's first successful squad automatic-the ancestor of the modern assault rifle. In the Chauchat one can recognise for the first time together all the classic attributes: the pistol grip, the in-line stock, the large capacity magazine, the fire selector, and the bipod. French and AEF CSRG Gunners formed the nucleus of the world's first Infantry machinegun-killer teams during World War I, using the CSRG to such telling effect that many were awarded the highest decorations their countries could bestow. A well-reasoned, historical classic.

The author calls this book "A Scoial and Technical Biography of the Lewis Automatic Machine Gun and Its Inventors", and so it is. The result of over twenty years of research, this is the most complete account ever published of the life and times of Colonel Isaac Newton Lewis, and his crowning invention, the Lewis Automatic Machine Gun, as well as other arms designs including the Lewis "shock action" and other automatic rifles, and Lewis .45 caliber pistols.

Times were different then. The stock market crash of October, 1929 heralded the worst depression in American history. At the same time, one-handed target shooting was considered by many to be a very popular and highly respectable pastime. In January, 1932, Colt's introduced their hand-fitted, premium-grade National Match Government Model pistol. Eminently suited for target shooting, the National Match carried a sticker price of $40.00 in the days when a brand-new Government Model cost $21.00 or $22.00. Perhaps this is why they were made for only eight short years, and why they may well be rarer, in terms of numbers produced, than the Colt Paterson or Walker. Includes 20 spectacular color photos of factory-engraved guns and other authenticated upgrades, including double-carved ivory grips!

Rock in a Hard Place: The Browning Automatic Rifle

James L Ballou

There is an apocryphal story, set at the outbreak of World War I, of a German general confronting his Swiss counterpart across their common border. "I could attack you at any moment," the German officer threatened, "I have twice as many men as you do!" "In that case", replied the Swiss general calmly, "I should have to ask each of my soldiers to fire two times." No attack was forthcoming, proving once again the efficacy of the old Latin adage Si vis pacem, para bellum ("If you want peace, [prepare] for war"). Both Switzerland and Sweden managed to remain aloof from the two World Wars of the 20th century, and it cannot be entirely coincidental that both nations took the training of their military riflemen very seriously indeed. Certainly the long tradition of accuracy and precision embodied in Swedish Mauser carbines and rifles is legendary, and this is the first in-depth study of these fine arms. Our story begins in the final years of the uneasily united kingdom of Sweden and Norway, where the search for a repeating rifle was just beginning. Extensive trials with various arms and cartridges of the day resulted in three finalists: the Krag-Jorgensen; the Mannlicher; and the Mauser. The Norwegians favoured the Krag, but the Swedes preferred the Mauser ars karbin, which they adopted on August 7, 1894. Oscar II , the last monarch to reign as king over both Norway and Sweden, wisely decreed that whichever rifles were chosen, they should both fire the same ammunition. He established a special joint Commission whose members designed the excellent 6.5x55mm rimless cartridge, which stands to this day as one of the most accurate military rounds ever introduced...

Until recent times Remington's early autoloading rifles, the Browning-designed Model 8 (1906-1936) and Model 81 (1936-1950) have been almost completely overlooked by collectors and arms historians alike. Nevertheless, the Remington Autoloading Rifle was the world's first practical autoloading centerfire sporting rifle, and John Browning's final centerfire sporting rifle design. It served as a link between Browning's earlier manually-operated designs and his future output, which centered around semi-automatic pistols and fully-automatic machine rifle and machinegun mechanisms.When the Autoloading Rifle was introduced in 1906 (the designation "Model 8" did not actually appear until five years later, when it was first used in the 1911 catalog) it was a totally new concept in American sporting arms. It proved to be by far the best-selling and most popular autoloading sporting rifle in the world, and was kept in the Remington catalog for nearly half a century before being dropped from the link in 1950.
