raul Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Ok Paul R, the pistol, as you may know, belongs to a batch of .45 M1914 that the Norwegians were ordered to manufacture for the Grman occupying forces, in this case my gun was dispatched to the AOK (Armee Oberkommando)-Only on the last 960 pistols the Waffenamt seal was stamped-The pistol was manufactured in Norway since 1914, date in which the signed the license contract with Colt-The last picture shows below the pistol the steel cartridge 22 lr carriers that the Kongsberg 22lr Conversion uses, this is an extremely rare conversion that I got in Switzerland many years ago-The odd thing of the conversion is that the only thing you have to change to shoot the smaller caliber is the barrel. you insert the rounds in the carriers and the pistol shooots them as fast as you can, cycling each round impeccably-
Paul R Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Very amazing piece!! Thank you for sharing it! Can you post copies of these photos in the firearms section? I am sure that many members will love to see that one! This is the only .45 acp I have ever heard of being accepted by the German military.
--dj--Joe Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 The pictures are outstanding!Can imagine the joy of poking a swollen spent 22 case out of the dummy round carrier. Thanks for sharing!--dj--Joe
raul Posted October 13, 2007 Author Posted October 13, 2007 Youre right Joe, but i dont know what is more fun, if poking the swollen 22 cartridge or crawling in the grass looking for the ejected dummies
--dj--Joe Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Never thought of that. Do they fall far?--dj--Joe
raul Posted October 14, 2007 Author Posted October 14, 2007 Not that far, but 3/4 ft at least, and when youre standing on grass or there are many spent ctdges around its a problem-
