Fritz Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Found somewhere on the French coast, still with live amunition (possibly from Dunkirk? Len Smith of the Royal Fusiliers - at Dunkirk - told me in the early 70s that they removed the bolts from their rifles before ditching them into the sea. He spent the resrt of the war in a P.O.W. camp at Thorn/Weichsel until the Russians came in January-February 1945). The man apparently does not know how to properly restore these parts, and the way he is handling the amunition looks rather careless. test edit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I have seen this guy before, he found a rusted solid luger, he oils it heat it up, wire brushes it, put a steel rod down the barrel & starts hammering it to free the toggle action, turns out it's still loaded , he manages to get the round out the chamber, & chucks it into his wood burner ! & yes it does go off. https://youtu.be/w_SE5FuuIg8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 Yes, I have seen that one, surprised I didn't post it. He's like the butcher's dog when he sees a good steak! "Ein Gemüt wie ein Schlachterhund" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
