Boomsticks: I have an idea...

Purely for entertainment purposes, I am going to attempt to field strip my Frommer Stop.

Hilarity may ensue.

(We're trained professionals on a closed course; don't try this at home, kids.)

The Frommer Stop sure was an interesting gun. The turn of the 20th century was like the Cambrian Explosion for semi-automatic pistol designs. All kinds of wild ideas were tried, and only a smattering survived the selection process.

You are in the big blogger league now, you need to start using Coral Cache when linking to some crappy geocities website.

instead of:
http://www.geocities.com/kirbytheog/hungary.html
try using:
http://www.geocities.com.nyud.net:8080/kirbytheog/hungary.html

but hey, since you killed the site for the rest of the month with your linkage, here's teh google cache:

and here's the same link as a tinyURL:

What a fascinating pistol! Just wondering, though--if they're balky with .32 acp and .380 acp, but they do feed it, couldn't you just load those hotter than factory and get better reliability?
Well, probably not many people shooting these anyway.

Either that, or a weaker recoil spring and some toasty Fiocchi or S&B .32ACP.

Shannon and Bob can make it work. They can fix anything but a rainy day.

Shannon fixed and gave back my No5Mk1.

That, Tam, would even fix a rainy day.

Part of my old Brit rifle is melonited now. T3hR0x0rs!
