I don't see that this has been posted recently, if at all.  Julia has had some nice auctions in the past, the autumn, 2014 one probably does not compare to some of the more famous editions, but there is at least one item in here that should be of interest to those on this forum.

That's damn impressive..!!!

Holy Moly!!!!

I'll take it!

I wonder how much the house is worth... I can always get a new house. How often can I pick up a Hollywood AR-10?

I can do discreet paypal.

As Ralph Cramden would've said: "Homina Homina Homina!" W~O~W!!!

They take credit cards! Takes why I'm broke

Screw the AR10 prototype - I saw two dozen weapons I'd rather have than that! Just the Kentucky rifles left me weak in the knees...

Morg,,, you can keep those old Davy Crockett  guns,,
I see my holy grail- a stoner 63!

The Johnson LMG.



And this second model DROR LMG(Johnson copy),note that it takes a BAR magazine load from under,as to the side loaded from the first model that was copied from the Johnson,it also as a Bakelite hadle over the tip of the barrel,front of the front sight.

Wha--?

Does that say, "Screw the AR10 prototype?"

SCREW THE AR10 PROTOTYPE??

Brother, you just got yourself written out of the will!  

Morg is a wise man.  Even though the Hollywood AR10 is very desireable it might be best to think about the other rifles.  

Morg must know a bit about game theory.  [URL=http://plus.maths.org/content/if-we-all-go-blonde][link][/URL]

Screw it.  I want the hot blonde!  

The will? Trust me, you will outlive me Pal. Personally I don't care if the curtains match the drapes.

ETA: Can anyone tell me more about the Lewis guns modified for infantry use?

Officially digging the FN CAL, and a few others.  Nice collection.

Man I wish I had a spare mill to burn, I could do some serious damage there.

DANG!

Morg what have you been smoking? The USA turned down Colonel Isaac Newton Lewis, so he took his "gun" to  Europe. The .303-caliber gun entered service as the Model 1914/Mark I Lewis, as an infantry MG (First an always Infantry). By 1916 positive reports from the front compelled the U.S. Army to order the gun Lewis had originally designed for it. In addition to the 145,000 units produced by BSA, U.S.-based Savage Arms made thousands of guns for Canadian forces and nearly 50,000 .30-06-caliber versions for the Americans. Reliable and versatile, the Lewis gun saw use by dozens of armies through and after World War II.

Still one of the best deals around if you like an buy MG's.

Here are a few larger images of the more interesting guns for the retro group.  I've had the pleasure of visiting that collection several times in recent years.  It was truly an amazing accumulation and a shame to see it broken up.

Thanks Ordnance!

Dont remember the early AR10 style upper receiver on that Hollywood AR10.

Still a very nice collection.  Already bought the catalog.

I've never seen a brass catcher like that on a Swedish K, but it makes sense on a sterile weapon that was a favorite of spooks. Love that green. I would love to build a Swedish K semi pistol. I have a Suomi kit already that I bought back when they were like .50 cents...hmmm.

Brass catcher on the K was strictly a Swedish thing.  Never saw one in any US Government, military or Embassy armory I was ever in that had K's.  The Green finish was listed as "Tropical" finish.  Those lucky enough to have a Wilson Arms (GA) marked green Swedish K with fixed mag well registered with serial number engraved on the stock release lever would have one of the so called "sterile" Swedish K's that saw issuance in SE Asia (not necessarily in Vietnam).

The rarest accessory I ever saw for the K were the sanitized magazines that were reparked by the US for issue to SOG and SF.  Seems the K guns bought from Interarms came with a nice assortment of magazines and in addition to the Swedish markings on the back of the mags, they were also marked in english with "Made in Sweden" on the bottom right side of the mags.................before being issued, they all were run through a machine shop and had all the markings milled out, then given a nice park job.  I know this since the work was done by American Machine and Foundary (AMF) Firearms/Special Projects Division in Alexandria, VA in the early 1960's.

A very close friend of my family worked there and had an assortment of handguns done by AMF or certain intelligence agencies.  Two of the most notable were a real nice Belgian Browning High Power with all the markings neatly removed and given a nice, dark parkerized finish.  When compared to a issue BHP, you could see that the slide and frame had been narrowed on a mill/removing the slide markings and serial number.   The other was a silenced Luger pistol that looked like a Bull barrel target pistol, but the silencer was built under the tube.  

AMF did this kind of special work from 1960 until about 1971.  Their factory was leveled several years ago, and all the old hands there have long since passed on.  The BHP and Luger were turned in by a fairly ignorant son of the AMF employee, since he believed that his late father was some sort of "Assassin" when he was in reality an engineering genius.

Still, the Swedish K is a great SMG.  I think there are some classic pics of the AMF silenced Swedish K on line and in the Archives.  The other AMF silenced SMGs and Pistols are less well known.

Thanks for the clarification Frank. Very cool historical info. I would  love to own one someday, but not many on the registry I bet. I will have to settle for an SBR or a pistol likely.

Actually, of all the guns in these pictures there is only one that made me say "Hey, I've never seen THAT before!!"

I don't suppose anybody has any better photos of it:

Here is a better image of the Villar Perosa.



FYI, all of the photos I've posted are quite large but auto-size downward.  If you cut and paste the URL for each image and open it in a new window, you can enlarge it for much better detail.

Here is what it probably my favorite gun in the collection, for sentimental reasons.  This is a deactivated 7mm Model 1895 Colt potato digger, SN 928, that I used to own in the 1970s.  I traded it to Dolf Goldsmith in 1974 for an M1A1 Thompson and have missed it ever since.  It came back to within 30 miles of me when Evergreen acquired much of his collection.

Thanks!  I would love to be able to examine one of the GE contract versions of these one day.  A piece of Canadian history that very few Canadians have any inkling of.

Don't see those often. Weren't those things mounted on bicycles by the Italian mountain troops or something?
