What ever happened to the Taiwanese mini-series covering the China's invasion? Everything online says it was supposed to be released on 4th June but I can't find anything, has China scrubbed it? The 17 minute trailer covering the hybrid war was great:

Anyone know any good place to download firearms primary sources in PDF form?

Already have Chinn's machine gun and Hatchers notebook. Looking for something similar about suppressors.

>The 44 WCF was standard for the “gun that won the West,” though it also was made in 38 WCF (first offered in 1879), 32 WCF (introduced in 1882) and .22 rimfire (1884), with a few special-order guns built in .22 extra long rimfire...
>...The Model 1873 .22 Rimfire Rifle was the first .22 caliber repeating rifle in America was introduced in 1884 and discontinued in 1904. Winchester sold a little more than 19,000 .22 caliber Model 1873s.
https://winchestercollector.org/models/model-1873/
Did they not shrink the receiver of the 1873 when they chambered it in .22 rimfire? why was it so unpopular? the colt lightning rifle in .22 longfire sold like 90,000 and was the most popular popular colt lighting receiver size outselling the .44-40 receiver size by like 100 units.
I can't find the first year they made the 1885 falling block in .22 rimfire, but I think this says there was an ad in a catalogue for a .22 rimfire 1885 in 1886

Other things that are funny
lever action .22s are way more popular than pump actions now, but after the .22 rimfire 1873 was discontinued in 1904, winchester didn't chamber another lever action in .22 rimfire until 1972.
according to wikipedia. marlin sold 2.2 million model 39a lever action .22s between 1922 and 2007. they don't sell them anymore, discontinuing them even before remmingshit went under. between 1890 and 1958 winchester pump 22s (the models 1890, 1906 and 62) sold more than 2.2 million units combined and they weren't the only pump game in town
the marlin model 60 semi auto sold 11 million units from 1960 until whenever marlin discontinued it.
Since the 90s a bunch of companies like henry started making .22 rimfire lever guns (they say they sold over 1 million units) and savage and winchester are now trying to undercut them with canadian and yuro made guns. and rossi, chiappa and heratage also make .22 levers

With Ukraine's first public display of AIM-9X, let's have a thread for this absolute champ. Smol but canonically over 900 years old and physically incapable of abiding enemies of the west.

There was a profound lack of appreciation in the last thread. If threads about the M16A2 can gain enough traction I don't see why the M4A1 can't, perhaps just bad timing. Anyway same as before, CAR-15s don't count and neither do AR clones, just straight government profile M4s as well as Block IIs and MK18s

M4 appreciation thread

No.63762888 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Some of you might remember I made 2 of these, you might not but basically I love the M4 and I know I'm not alone.
Once again I'm not fussed about actual M4s and derivatives as long as they are 14.5/10.3 and have direct impingement
