No one knew they were interested in French firearms, Japanese swords, Warlord Pistols or even British bullpups until a book came along and presented itself as the 1 definitive reading guide You cannot publish more than 1 book on the subjects without loosing a HUGE amount of readers, not unless you target academics & hyper-collectors
@@JK-dv8yi I'll be honest, I have no idea who Kevin is. I just saw an Ian McCollum interview. The format and style of this video very much reminds me of "the Joe Rogan experience."
‘Silent butt deadly’ The complete history of the most wretched farts 💨 Chapter 1: Whoever supplied it denied it Chapter 2: The one who smelt’ it dealt’ it
Dang it...Headstamp got me all in now. Never even heard of these pre colt revolvers, and now I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy both volumes...and Finnish arms? All I knew about them was the made the best Mosins you could get. It all started when somebody found a crate of kickstarter editions of the Chassepot book in the warehouse, after the campaign had ended and I had missed out....to now having bought all the books published so far....
In the last fifteen years I have heard several small publishing companies have folded up shop due to paper scarcity even though the book they publish is in high demand. Getting hard to find certain versions of the Bible.
Absolutely AMAZING to Ian on this...or ANY pod...he is the O.G of RU-vid gun shows...I've learned MORE from this man than ANY SINGLE person...EVER...about FIREARMS and how they function. Encyclopedic knowledge and an AMAZING storyteller. Props brother.
The silencer Maxim was the son of the machine gun Maxim. The son was also into amateur radio and founded the American Radio Relay League, the NRA of ham radio. So guns were definitely a thing with the Maxim’s. Maxim’s automobile silencers were the reason stainless steel was developed. Haynes invented stainless steel for his automobile mufflers based on Maxim’s design. Cool stuff. t. Ham Radio Metallurgist
19:42, can’t hear the questions you’re asking it sounds like you’re not talking into the mic. Not sure. I can hear Ian perfectly but throughout the video the tech guy asks questions that are difficult to hear. Thanks for posting the interview
I'm glad someone else gets it. A Swiss-made Tec-9 is still a Tec-9. And I have a soft spot for the Tec-9 due to it being cheap, something anything made in Switzerland isn't.
My FNC's are both " Paratrooper's " and CURTIS HIGGINS of S&H FIREARMS OF OKLAHOMA... DOES " FACTORY " FULL AUTO CONVERSION'S AND SBR w/ Suppressors 11.9" as IF IT WERE INTEGRALLY SUPPRESSED ( My preferred spin 11.9" as if integral was ever done BY FN, INTEGRAL with shortened {{ a nod to the HK MP5SD }}, free floated, Carbon Weave [ sealed ] TUBE, w/ our 3X .5125' ports, for 5x32 thd.on here at PigIron ) . I have shot them both in SOF, when done last, and Tac/SUPPRESSED matches at night! Respectfully, Seth 《I LOVE WHAT IAN AND KEVIN BOTH DO TO FURTHER SUPPRESSED FIREARMS IN THEIR LIVES AND WORK 》!!!
Love French guns. Enjoyed the casual banter and stories. I ordered the sword book and will get the Finn book as well. Now to find a book on Finnish post 1945 history.
Its no longer his by the looks of it, hes been scrubbed from the headstamp page and he might still do his own, but I assume headstamp aren't doing it unless they find someone else for it, so its just postponed on the page rn
@@borkwoof696 Yeah, so headstamp are still doing it by the looks of it, just without max for some reason or another (as his name has been scrubbed from the site/page)
On the HK note, even though I don't like the company I would love to have a USP9 and USP45 tactical models, and a VP9 tactical. Problem is I can't justify HK prices just for a paddle mag release.
Yeah, seems they are more interested in having a nice conversation then getting the best out of Ian. Fair to them tough, it's their podcast so they can do what they like.
I am sooo lost on what they are saying there in the beginning... I just feel like I'm missing some vital info or something... Cause what he is saying isn't clicking
Kevin - spend some money on customer service. Having a human answer the phone makes a HUGE difference in a customer’s perception of a manufacturer. That matters whether you like it or not. In my opinion there is no comparison between Sig Sauer and the never ending train wreck of the Remington conglomerate (whoever owns them this week). Sig has put out a string of new products that are successful in the marketplace and made in the USA. Their modular striker fired pistols are very popular - with good reason. The Sig Cross is not the same rifle as the Fix (which I own), but it is a breakthrough design in a market that was *very* stuck on the same-old-same-old (bolt action rifles).
Wow... 100 dollars... For old bolt rifles... You gotta be freaking kidding me... Wow. I never knew anything like that was possible... I'd love to have been around when bolt guns were cheap... I don't have a single one... Sadface
