Download or read book A History of the Small Arms Made by the Sterling Armament Company written by Peter Laidler and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth history of the small arms made by the Sterling Company of Dagenham, Essex, England, from 1940 until the company closed in 1989. The Lanchester and the Patchett Machine Carbines were both developed at Sterling Engineering Co Ltd during World War II. With the appearance of the earliest Patchett prototypes the military began testing them in ever more rigorous trials, wherein the Patchett kept proving its merits. This led to limited UK adoption of the MkII Patchett as the L2A1 in 1953, and the “first Sterling,” the MkII, as the L2A2 in 1955. Then came Sterling’s “Crown Jewel,” the superb Mk4, adopted as the general-issue UK “Gun, Sub-Machine, L2A3” in September, 1955. Manufactured briefly but intensively by ROF Fazakerley (1955–1959) and by Sterling for over 30 years, nearly 4,000,000 were made. Unlike wraparound bolt designs like the UZI, the Sterling was capable of being truly silenced with standard 9mm ball ammunition (as opposed to being merely “suppressed”). The excellent silenced Sterling-Patchett Mk5, adopted as the UK L34A1 in 1967, is the only Sterling remaining in British Service. All prototypes, military Marks, commercial and licensed production models of the Sterling are described, including the Canadian C1 SMG and the Indian 1A Carbine. Contains notes on manufacturing methods and procedures as used at Sterling, ROF Fazakerley, Canadian Arsenals Limited and the Indian Small Arms Factory, Kanpur (Cawnpore), plus extensive notes on inter-model interchangeability, serial number ranges, quantities produced, client-country purchases of the various Sterling Marks, and accessories. Praise for A History of the Small Arms made by the Sterling Armament Company “If you have an interest in small arms then this is a book that belongs in your library or book shelf. The book does a great job of providing the reader with the story of the weapons that evolved into the Sterling sub-machine gun and the changes in design that took place over that history. The result was a weapon that served in many fields of conflict and performed admirably.” —Armorama
Download or read book Cartridges written by Herschel C. Logan and published by . This book was released on 1959 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logan was a commercial artist and writer with a strong firearms interest. This book contains excellent drawings, labels, and identification for cartridge types illustrating development from paper cartridge to the modern types. Patient delving into this volume will show an alert reader how paper cartridges became metal cartridges. Most general readers have no conception, for example, how many competing systems were in place during the Civil War. By 1873 all had become obsolete but the two still in use toda--rimfire and center fire. Logan divides cartridge types into groups: paper, combustible, separate primed, self-contained, rimfire, and center fire. Each of these divisions break down into variations. All systematic discussions must use or grapple with these divisions. The most common Civil War cartridge was a paper wrapper which held black powder and a bullet. The cartridge had to be torn or bitten open, the powder poured down the barrel, followed by the bullet and rammed until compact. A percussion cap was added to the weapon to ignite the powder. A quantum leap forward was a metal cartridge with a hole in the base. It was loaded into the weapon and the percussion cap was added outside. Finally a complete cartridge was developed which could be placed inside the weapon and fired when the chamber was closed. The author shows what the competing systems were and how they worked. His book is a good introduction. Any serious collector or student of cartridge history will need more references, but Logan's Cartridges can be the beginning place for the study. There are a few errors and, obviously, omissions but the work is excellent for its vintage. Few fifty year old books on technology can claim that.--By Antonius Tio.--For Amazon.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of small arms and ammunition in all major armies of the world was a survey of the competition at a time when the British Army was still in a transitional stage of switching to the Martini Henry, a prototype of the rifle that dominated early 20th century warfare. European development in the 1880s was rapidly leading to bolt action rifles (such as the German Dreyse and Mausers and the French Chassepot and Gras rifles) whilst the US was still wedded to the single shot Remington, despite the success of lever action weapons (such as the Winchester and the Spencer). Waiting In the wings was the Lee magazine rifle. All of these weapons, and many more, are described in this book, and there are many line drawings showing the details of the arms so that a full understanding and comparison of the competing systems can be arrived at. This is an excellent book which needs to be on the bookshelf of anyone interested in the history and development of firearms.
Download or read book Textbook for Small Arms 1929 written by War Office and published by . This book was released on 2003-03 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Naval and Military Press series on military technology continues with this very important publication, which gives details of weapons in use by the British Army at the end of 1929. Every military historian, war gamer, re-enactor and reader should be familiar with the technology associated with the tactics, and this series of reprints aims to provide that information. No true, objective appreciation of tactical operations is possible without a basic knowledge of the weapons and ammunition being used at a specific point in time, and the series will serve as a continuing source of the relevant information. The book was intended for use by officers under instruction at the British School of Musketry at Hythe. It is a complete examination of everything needed to be known about smallarms, ammunition and ballistics. It looks at rifles, swords, lances and bayonets, as well as revolvers, grenades and machine guns. There is a section dealing with small arms ammunition (including pre-.303inch ammunition) which is very comprehensive. The book also looks at the ballistics of this ammuntiion. The book is amply illustrated with photographs, line drawings and tables, and forms a complete record of the weapons and ammunition that were in service between the two World Wars.
