I don't know much about German suppressors so I wouldn't be able to say where that one came from. I don't want to accuse it of being a fake, but I doubt it's association with the Tehran conference.

It’s the Nagant's 7.62x38mm cartridge that helps seal the cylinder gap. The cartridge is held completely within the case which extends, when the weapon is cocked, the cylinder will move slightly forward, into the neck of the barrel effectively creating a seal and thereby ensuring that the propellant gases are ejected through the barrel and if fitted. a suppressor. The M1895 Nagant is the only revolver that can be effectively suppressed other weapons must not be in a condition to self load if required to suppress the discharge as the gases would escape from this process hence the English Welrod is single shot, bolt actioned, manually loaded/reloaded pistol while the De Lisle carbine with a fully integrated suppressor still needed reduced subsonic ammunition to be effective.

The Nagant revolver has been used often as silenced revolver. The gas sealing is not generated by the closure of the cylinder in the cone. The cartridge case has an „overlenght“ in relation to the cylinder. You can see the front shape of the cylinder is shorter than it seems. The cartridge enters the barrel part and closes the gap between cylinder and barrel absolutely gas proof at the moment the projectile passes this area. A lot of silenced nagants have a much shorter barrel and an eccentric silencer. Very interesting gun. Thanks for the video 😊.

The USMC translators did a good job language-wise, but they were not familiar with the technical terminology of the shooting sport. MAJ Land passed the translation on to the NRA where it was edited by two interns, Matt ???? and Marsha Beasley ( Then a hot junior shooter and today the rifle team coach at Ole Miss).

Thank you very much for your reply. Your story is more interesting than the revolver story. Perhaps it is the makings of a future video by Legacy. I have heard of Jack Writer and have also heard very vague stories over the years about world class shooters assisting with US Army and Marine Marksmanship in various capacities during the Viet Nam Era. Your story also describes the process of how a handful of 'on the ball' servicemen and woman can make things happen. I have had the book for around 2 decades. I and my wife both shoot here at Bisley. We moved to the UK from Canada about 5 years ago an live 5 minutes from the ranges so that it would be easier to shoot. Now with climate change here in the UK, we can shoot 49 weeks a year. I dragged the book off the shelf to review my prone position last year when I was making some changes. I also have reviewed the trigger pull section and changed the position of my trigger finger after 35 years of shooting. I have learned a lot from the book. Thank you for your contribution to the sport and my personal shooting.

I know thats a blatant lie because he wasnt mechanically inclined at all. Anyways, I do know he was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood and before he died he gave me a silver senior pilot wing pin. Why would a mechanic have a senior pilot pin? After he died I was going through some of his things and came across that green patch with the red scimitar on it. I also remember him teaching me some hand to hand combat techniques when I was a young kid because I was into martial arts. Years later, in my mid 20s, I realized what he taught me was the same stuff Rex Applegate taught the OSS. Its also kinda strange that he knew how to pack a parachute.
