Gun Pr0n! An expose of the fiddly bits of the Castle's Vulcan Arms V10-45, seen earlier this week, here. Here he is, field stripped to his basics. Slighty higher-res version here (that better, Brab?) Looking deep into his guts, a look at the fiddly bits of the lower receiver. The upper receiver and bolt assembly. There is a nylon buffer there, to keep the bolt from slapping the rear of the receiver. Really, in concept, there is little to distinguish this design from the M3 grease gun, the major differences being the Grease Gun... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/04/as_penance_for.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/04/as_penance_for.html Sat, 14 Apr 2007 14:11:49 -0600 i think it is a thing of supreme elegance and beauty. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/04/as_penance_for.html#comment-58959 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/04/as_penance_for.html#comment-58959 Mon, 16 Apr 2007 08:24:06 -0600 No worries, John.
