Anyone remember Bubble Memory which was suppose to solve all the problems of DRAM?


Yes, I do. I had to replace a many of them "back in the day".

Big Frank, The FAL was designed originally in 8 Kurz.
Only the Camp Perry Peckerheads demanded a overpowered POS like .308.

No kidding? I never knew that.

Here's something obscure, the Frommer Model 1910, predecessor to the Frommer Stop pistol. I downloaded the parts picture about 2 weeks ago and just found manuals for it at Forgotten Weapons. There are other sites with more pics and videos too.

I had a hard time locating one of the pics on my computer because it had the word "the" in front of it. ::) These are small versions of posters on Forgotten Weapons' merchandise site. I completely forgot where Elbonia was but the name sounded very familiar. The 4 books I bought and read cover to cover weren't enough to remind me.

The Pedersen device turned a bolt-action M1903 Springfield rifle with a port milled into the right side of the receiver into a semi-auto. It was fed from a 40-round box magazine and the small .30 caliber cartridge had about the same muzzle energy as a .380 ACP pistol.

Tom, I expect you'll be among the handful who knows why the Puckle gun fired both round and square bullets.

Don't know if you've seen this one,
I suspect you have.   ;D
The mount is as interesting as the gun.
And I agree with Othias.
The Pederson probably would have been a fiasco.
