[JustAGuy1250]

Hi all,

 

Some time ago i wrote this book on the Vietnamese K-50M, figured some people here might appreciate the information I've gathered and documented.

 

Any and all criticism is welcome!

I'll happily answer any questions aswell.

I don't remember any book specifically about the K50. Unless he is referring to a reprint or something from the old Paladin Press.

ISBN# or it didn't happen

I have personally handled a K50 C&R and really liked the gun. This was obviously an early production model, SN <500. I clearly looked like it was made (modified) in an underground or at least a less sophisticated environment, especially the shortened shroud work. Also, the bolt holding the pistol grip on was rather crude. Very cool conversation piece however!
