Automatic rifle

edit

I did not add the Mondragon rifle info...I simply deleted experimental and dead end weapons that were made in small numbers and abandoned when WWI ended.--RAF910 (talk) 02:58, 9 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

RE: message left on my talk page.....Sir, perhaps you should read the automatic rifle page before you complain...if you did you would know that as of June 9th the Cei-Rigotti has been given credit as the world's first automatic rifle.--RAF910 (talk) 13:20, 12 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Book of the Garand

edit

Greetings. I'm trying to track down anyone who might have a copy of Hatcher's Book of the Garand. I see you added a reference to it and so I thought you might have access to it. I'm trying to verify or improve a big chunk of text added to Pedersen rifle back in 2007. The nearest library to me with a copy is hundreds of miles away, so any help would be appreciated.

KitFistoPL (talk) 14:30, 10 January 2015 (UTC) Tough luck mate, the pages I've referenced in Liu article were scans of only the 2 pages, I've never got my hands on the full book, only the first chapter (http://www.cantonstreetpress.com/v/previews/bookofgarandpreview.pdf). I live in a non-english speaking country so obtaining a book (not an pdf) in english is pretty expensive, although I have a copy of Hatcher's Notebook.Reply

No worries. Another editor is getting through an interlibrary loan and is willing to review the article. (I'm looking forward to reading Hatcher's Notebook one of these days, it sounds like a great resource.) Thanks for the courteous reply. Rezin (talk) 17:13, 12 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

KitFistoPL (talk) 17:57, 13 January 2015 (UTC) If you're interested in the Notebook I think I can help you with that, write me an email: spyke69@wp.plReply

Thanks for the offer. I don't have any current need but I'll remember you if it comes up in the future. Rezin (talk) 18:31, 13 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

KitFistoPL (talk) 17:50, 15 January 2015 (UTC) Actually I wasn't trying to sell you one but give you an access to one.Reply
