That looks complicated.

I owned a Lahti 9mm when I lived in Lichfield back in the late 70's. It was made by Husqvana in 1941 and came in the original holster with 2 mags and cleaning rod.

Couldn't hit the side of a barn with it but it was very well made.

Might even have some pics of it somewhere.

Nice. There are photos of this carbine in a book Palokangas did a few years ago dealing with Lahti and his designs.

Duncan

I have a few of these guns and these are great shooters.

How do you say shoots sweet in French?

How do you say shoots sweet in French?

They don't! It is incroyable or fantastique or parfait or beau(belle)

but the French language is not a good one for similes!

A literal translation would be tire gentiment but that's the best I can offer you RG.

What happened to the photos? They don't seem to be linking now. You could go back and edit and put them in as attachments.

Wonder how reliable such a construction would be?

Thr slide gets real heavy.

But a long barreled Lahti would be fun, too bad, spare slides are so hard to get.
