Ive shot a 1928 with a hybrid 46 supressor. I wouldnt call it quite hearing safe but its certainly quieter. But i don't have a decibel measurement. I also have an older costal .45 supressor that I'd say is less quiet than the hybrid ever though it's larger.

Nice meeting you there, putting faces with names is always fun! John, Alice & Sam Anderson

Wow, that gun is really nice, congratulations! Now you just need some extra magazines, and some original manuals, and cleaning gear, and.....

Countryboy77 is correct, and there are only two proof houses in the UK, each with their distinctive mark: Crossed swords with DA and the year round them for the Birmingham Proof House; and DA over a sword and the year for the London Proof House.

Yes the crossed swords have the 'D' on one side and the 'A' on the other with the year under it the house did the deactivation. I've seen this on enfield rifles to russian dpms.Yours looks like eigther 1990 or 93' or 98'or even 80's Looks like stamp was double struck to make it deep enough.Cool Deactivated gun Birmingham or London proof House. The "x" marks are usually for guns taken out of service for one reason or another broken,worn,training aid,or just retired from service.When I see x stamps I typically avoid the parts but somthing like a grip frame or lower you know is fine to use where a bolt might be more questionable.Though a part may be serviceable it likely came off a decomissiones gun with issues.

Almost there, in order of chapters: Italy (actually Rome, as Italy did not exist as such back then) , Saxony, Scandanavia (The Danes), France ( actually the Normans, as France did not exist as such back then), Spain, the Dutch Empire, USA, Russia, Ireland & last but not least....Germany.

The stories were the highlight of the show! Thanks so much for the time. Meeting you and Larry is person was the best part. Mark E

Give us the rest of the list The Danes? Rome? France? Spain? Russia? Germany? Who am I missing?

Spotted this today, I am always interested in history. I browsed through it, and chapter 9 covers Ireland. Guess what they used as the image for that chapter... The USA was not forgotten, you are there in chapter 7... 🫣

Remind you about your birthday too. Tracie😀

Larry glad the both of you enjoyed the show and had the chance to see many amazing guns.

Thanks very much.

The Crossed swords are the Deact stamp. Seen them on other types of deacts.

Very nice!! Welcome!

Can't say about the .45 cal version but with a .22 kit it is surprisingly quiet !

Welcome to the club!

Very Nice, Congrats

A few weeks ago I took the leap into the Thompson arena with the purchase of this very nice US Property marked Savage M1A1. The barrel, frame, and lower assembly are all marked S. The internal parts are mostly Savage with a few Stevens. I want to give a big thank you to Dan Block for helping me with this acquisition.

Thanks for taking time to visit with Mark and myself. Without a doubt, all that info in your head needs to be recorded. It's fascinating to say the least. Larry A.

My first time there and the weather was fabulous. I learned a bunch.

ZK383 Did you buy it?

Fortunately, I was early in the game and most of the drums in my collection had reasonable price tags on them.

Yes...."Rifleman Demonstrator", that is a cool title.... 🧐
