Welcome to my Gun Links Page!

This is a place where there is no such thing as an 'evil' gun. There will be hunting rifles, assault (gasp!) rifles, machine guns, submachine guns, pistols and revolvers. If you're offended by any of this, gee, I'm sorry. Go away.

As usual on my pages, I'd like to start things out with a quote, aimed primarily at you anti-gun folks who are still here...

"What part of "Shall Not Be Infringed" do you not understand???" (Peter Wendt, or at least I stole the line from him)

This is a beautiful example of the world's most prolific main battle rifle, the FN/FAL. This particular rifle is one of the finest examples of a modern weapon, by DS Arms, Inc. This rifle was used by 93 nations. Nearly every non-Warsaw Pact nation BUT the United States used this rifle. Had it not been for politics, it would have been used here instead of the M14, and would have been built by Harrington & Richardson.

A few important links to places for those of you interested in the FN/FAL, STG58, L1A1, etc.

Gavin's FAL page. Worth a visit.

Arizona Response Systems, reportedly the preimere FAL gunsmith in the country.

Hesse Arms. Manufacturers of upper receivers and other US made parts.

The FAL Files. A site for anyone who wants to know more or is just interested in the FAL.

Entreprise Arms. Another manufacturer of upper receivers and other parts. Caveat emptor.

Century Arms, Inc. Maker of the L1A1 Sporter. A reasonably inexpensive way to get an FN/FAL which is post-ban legal. Again, Caveat Emptor.

DS Arms, Inc. Manufactures the only US built upper receiver that is actually built to the original Fabrique Nationale specs.  They also supply barrels, and other parts.

The M1 Garand. The grandfather of all main battle rifles, it  was  the first semiautomatic rifle to be issued to every enlisted infantryman. With it, the infantry finally had the fire power to suppress enemy fire, and this excellant weapon was effective, thanks to it's 30-06 round, to be effective easily to 800 yards.

This is an example of the civilian version of the M14 main battle rifle used by our troops in the early days of the Viet Nam War. The main difference between the original M14 and the civilian counterpart, the M1A, is that the M14 could be fired in full automatic (for  anyone who wanted to waste ammunition and shoot at monkeys in the trees). The M1A has only a two position safety, Fire and Safe, and will only fire in the semi-automatic mode. This example is from Springfield Armory, Inc.

The M1 Carbine. The design of this fine little rifle is similar to the M1 Garand, however, it filled the need for junior officers who  wanted a small, easy to carry rifle  that was at least as effective as the issued pistol, the Colt M1911A1. It fires a 110 grain round nosed round with a cartridge only slightly bigger than a pistol cartridge. It was later issued as the M2 variant, which had a full auto selector. This rugged little rifle is still much prized by collectors and shooters alike.

The Thompson Submachine Gun. Known better as the "Tommy Gun", this venerable weapon was used in the 1920's by Chicagoland gangsters, the fledgling FBI, and the military. It was still in use in the military through the Viet Nam War. I know: I carried one. And no, the picture below is not of me.

The "Tommy Gun" was produced until Thompson Arms was bought out in April, 1999, by Kahr Arms. It is still be produced in a semiautomatic, .45ACP 'carbine' with a 16 1/2 inch barrel. It will be  interesting to see if Kahr Arms can breathe some fresh life into the old beast.
