Some T65 parts that we examined during our trip to Taiwan to visit some of our vendors. The Taiwanese T65 has not been manufactured for a long time but presumably replacement parts are needed by the Taiwanese military.
This factory produces a lot of the firearm furniture that we sell. If you look closely you can also see an unfinished upper receiver of the new Taiwanese XT04 9mm SMG.

Sort of Semi-Auto AKs???| Milled Receiver AK | Polish Gun Range | Lodz Poland – C4 Arms
Last year we were in Poland for MSPO 2024 so I stopped by a Polish gun store and range to see what they have. Here are two original Polish military Milled-receiver AKs that were (sort of) converted to semi-auto only. The rules for what is considered “permanently...
SIG 553 w/Riot Stock | 6-Position B&T Manufactured Stock | AATS-Group GmbH | Burgdorf, Switzerland | Not Your Average LGS
Earlier this year I visited AATS-Group, which is one of the best gun stores in Switzerland. They have a beautifully-designed retail space with a wide range of new and used firearms. Also, you can’t beat Swiss hospitality even at gunshops—they made me a cappuccino that...
Zastava PKM in 338 Norma Mag | Serbian Competitor to SIG MG338? | Partner 2025 Belgrade, Serbia
Last September we were at the Partner 2025 arms expo in Belgrade, Serbia and the Zastava section had a PKM in 338 Norma Mag, which is the same caliber as the SIG MG338. I didn't get a chance to examine the internals to see what kind of engineering was required to...
T65 Lower Receiver with no finish | Taiwan Factory Visit 2025
We’re in Taiwan for the TADTE arms expo 2025 and to visit some of our vendors. In Taiwan the gun laws are way stricter but also totally different, so you can’t own any guns but there’s also full-auto lowers just laying around in factory conference rooms. They tried to...
Swiss Miss-tery AK | Swiss Bubba Trainwreck or “Tanker Model”? | Hungarian AK-55 | Waffen Sammlerborse 2025 | Lucerne, Switzerland | Swiss Gunshows Are Interesting
I'm at Waffen Sammlerborse 2025, which is a Swiss Gun Show. It’s an odd mix of SHOT Show, with its high-end manufacturers and impressively well-stock distributors and a local crappy gun show with Fudds, absurdly overpriced accessories and dusty war memorabilia of...

Victrix Crown in 375 Cheytac | Costs More Than Your 2nd Divorce | Italian Sniper Rifles | MSPO 2024 Kielce, Poland
Here are a couple of sniper rifles from Victrix, an Italian manufacturer. These were a part of their very nice showcase at MSPO 2024 in Kielce, Poland. These are both in 375 Cheytac if I remember correctly. Note the steep angle on the picatinny rail, that may be 45...
Commie AR15??? 18.5″ Carbine Edition | Norinco CQ-A 5.56mm | Chinese Manufacture | Lodz, Poland
While visiting the range / gun store in Lodz, Poland, one of the two Chinese AR15s was this carbine with an 18.5” barrel. I asked why the barrel was so long, especially since the other Chinese AR had a 14.5” barrel and the RSO said he didn’t know. Maybe someone in the...
Suppressed Polish AK | Military-issue Full Auto Converted to Semi | Gun Shop Warsaw, Poland
While in Poland for MSPO 2024 I stopped by some Polish gunshops in Warsaw. It’s fascinating to see what’s available for Polish firearms dealers and Polish citizens. If you’re a dealer you can obtain full-autos with the proper licenses, and if you’re a citizen you can...
