Recent Recap

Since the last recap we’ve covered a lot of ground, everything from Landships to the LaFrance M16K. We’ve looked at the Savage Model 1907 pistol, the F1 Submachine Gun, early firearms suppressors and the Lewis Gun. 

Over the next week or so I’ll be preparing for a research trip to a couple of special collections so I may not be posting as regularly as I like (although my prep-research is likely to turn into articles!) I’ll be away for a few days but content should still continue to go up daily.
