[Amp Mangum]

Howells were used during WWII, mainly as an AA weapon for the Home Guard due to the shortages of weapons in 1940-41

I'm sorry, but he called that ugly. I think that is one of the coolest guns I have ever seen. The ingenuity for the timeframe is absolutely mind boggling. I would love to have one of those.

Those pictures were lifted right off the Auction that the rifle sold at 2 days ago. It sold for $27,500.

That is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. A semi auto bolt gun. I wonder whether anyone ever did that to a Mosin... google says yes! Lots. Also cool.

Forgotten Weapons is one of the absolute coolest YT channels, in my humble opinion.

First shot in the video may have jammed it; brass fell right into the auto loading mechanism.
