Sturmgewehr

Had Brady Campaign and their ethically deficient ilk been around during WW2, they would have pushed for the disarmament of the guerrillas and other civilians…while turning a blind eye to massacres perpetrated by government troops and their pet paramilitaries.

STG44, the original “assault rifle”,  was used for evil, indifferent and good ends alike — the rifle being no more endowed with morality than an entrenching tool or a coil of rope. Every firearm and other weapon is like that. Gun control — the effort to disarm almost everyone — necessarily assumes that our guns would be used mainly for evil. A psychologist would call that projection — a very reasonable view, considering that politicians use the guns of the state to threaten and coerce innocent people daily. Giving up our arms while they retain theirs…would not be prudent.

The rifle above is a GSG STG44 in .22LR — it looks and feels just like the original, but is cheaper to feed and doesn’t heat up uncomfortably at the forend like the 7.92x33mm version did. It will be available at the end of August.

Rimfire trainer guns

Ever since I got to shoot a suppressed GSG1911-22 in Nevada, I wanted to have on on hand. Rimfire trainer guns were extremely useful then and they have become even more useful since the price of ammunition gone up so much.

GSG 1911-22 has a good trigger and accuracy, little kick. It’s lighter than the standard 1911s but matches them in size, so the same holsters fit. Too large for kids, it’s just right for teenagers and women with small hands.

Chiappa mfour-22 on a polymer Omni receiver worked out well — it’s as light as Cav Arms lowers and as adjustable as the standard M4. Surprisingly good trigger, better than most milspec lowers. Accuracy with 1-4x Primary Arms scope was excellent. Reliability was also very good. Included 28rd magazine was too long for bench shooting, so I mostly shot it with BDM 50rd drum and 25rd box magazines. Light weight and adjustable stock make it very suitable for kids.

Model 844, 1950s production. The backs of the chambers are recessed to enclose the case heads, which isn’t a bad idea with rimfire cartridges. The front of the cylinder is extended to reduce the forcing cone flash.

Ejection of all eight rounds is simultaneous.

The front sight is adjustable for elevation.

The Dalton sisters, Maddie and Cheyenne.

Having two talented and accomplished kids in one family adds to the data set to the argument about born ability and how it can be realized. I suspect that more kids than we know have abilities that can be brought out by careful coaching. To me, homeschooling seems to do a better job of individualized development.

The dreaded .512 caliber rifle

Despite the nomenclature, 56-50 rimfire cartridge actually fires a 0.512″ diameter bullet. It was pretty potent for a rimfire, on the order of 350gr and 1200fps, about on par with 44 Magnum from a long-barreled revolver. Tubular magazine in the stock holds 7 rounds, the lever only loads cartridges and extracts casings — the hammer must be cocked separately for each shot. The sights are marked — most optimistically, for 800 yards, at which point velocity was down to 600fps and the bullet drops more than 40 yards. In the photo, her sights are set to 300. For 1860, Spencer rifle was quite an impressive device. Modern centerfire reproductions are available.
