ErikW Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Who'da thunk you could get a WWII Sten mag air-dropped to the Free French in 1942 to work in a modern pistol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Who'da thunk you could get a WWII Sten mag air-dropped to the Free French in 1942 to work in a modern pistol? Or may it be a MAB 38 magazine brought back from Italy as a WWII souvenir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry White Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Brought back from Italy? Pretty rough for a once dropped. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Schwab Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Very nice! What gunsmith did the work? Who checkered the frontstrap? And what brand grips are you using and how do they feel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Meek Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 Bill, Gunsmith - Outside of the barell fit and comp installation I have done all the other small stuf. Checkering was an option that Caspian offered a while back. Grips are Hogue and I think that they are the ticket. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric nielsen Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 That magazine would make EG proud. Beat up 4 more just like that & you can shoot on his squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshua Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Nice work, I do my own Caspians also less barrel fitting and blending in the comp. Why did you go with a titanium Briley comp? I use to have Briley comps but the exit holes are way too big for the bullet diameter. BTW, I'm starting to see more and more Caspian hi-caps, did Gary have a sale or something?

Alan Meek Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 Joshua, The Briley for me was an uber radical move from my old open gun, Caspian Hi-Cap 5" with a comp that was about 2" in .40. I waned to try the Titanium to see how it would work. Just making a change and going as far as I can go. As to seeing more Caspians, not sure why we haven't been seeing them sooner, although mag availability probably had a lot to do with that. and stay tuned still mor to come.

joshua Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 9Major-Caspian, The mag availability was the problem. The problem was mentioned quite a few times to the Caspian Arms, but they still kept their stand on selling tubes only if you have a damaged tube to send them. I personally asked the same question during a major match years ago and they gave me the same answer. I was mumbling, "I should've went with S+I or SV instead..." while walking away from the Caspian/Schuemann display table. Craig Ltd was highly involved in promoting Caspian guns, I don't really know if he is still doing it though. josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Schwab Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 and stay tuned still mor to come. I assume that's the titanium framed Caspian you are having built? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
