And show some love for anonDR who sent me the book, this wouldn't be possible without them or other anons as well.

Holy fuck I've been wanting to read this but the idea of shelling out that much for a book on guns instead of ammo for guns was difficult to stomach. Thanks anons! bamperino
Isaac Smith
Good share mate, thank you!
Kayden Young
Thanks, are the previous uploads still available somewhere?
hey man... I just sent you an email about a compressed version of the book. I reduced its size quite a bit (to approx. 10% of original) and it's still nicely readable on most screens. Feel free to share with others in this thread if there's a demand.
It's this size to be as close to the original for those wishing to get it printed for ~$50. While it could be smaller, after putting in so many hours scanning and processing it, I'm not going to reduce its quality deliberately. 560 pages, at approx 4mb each.
Thanks, will have a check.
I must apologise for my heresy but I am in the dark.
Thanks.

Many thanks to this user. Pic attached shows the difference between the 2.2GB file and the reduced 250MB total file. For those doing serious reading, I would recommend the full file, especially as the old documents shown in the book may have a drastic reduction in quality. All the same, for those looking the reduced files/ want to view without downloading:
Anything from the Bill Holmes collection, any of the Luty books, any gunsmithing books would be a good start, or Professor Parabellum. Those would be a good start, or some of these books

I love you.

may try

At least include some fundamental material for the mongoloids that are going to try and build a gun using outdated information and risk blowing their hands off.
If you are interested in any mechanical design, get Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design- it is THE book.
In addition, download an educational copy of Ansys and a real cad pack to accompany it. You really don't want to do much more than the pressure vessels by hand if you can help it.
Jordan Jones
Damn, too many people wanted it. Now its locked.
Jace Thompson
Working on it. Might be about an hour
Parker Walker
If you have any recommendations for "fundamental material" that isn't readily available, then please recommend it.
If they wanted to build a gun they would be reading Luty or Holmes or Maadi or Professor Parabellum or the like, not this. I am not a babysitter, I provide information.
Do you do destructive scanning or are the books fine afterwards? I have a few rare Collector Grade books that I could be convinced to part with temporarily...
Dominic Evans
Books are fine afterwards, if it’s never really been read then you’ll get some crinkles on the spine just from every page being opened fully, hence the loss of text sometimes at the edge of the page.
>It’s about the operating mechanism the MG42/MP5/G3 and some other firearms use. Not exactly. The MG42 uses a recoil operated/roller locked mechanism, whereas the G3 and MP5 a roller delayed blowback.
In an MG42, the rollers lock into the barrel extension (technically speaking it's not the rollers which lock but the PINS at the top and bottom of the rollers), the the barrel recoils and the rollers unlock (IIRC because the rollers are being pushed inwards thus releasing the pins from the barrel extension) and the bolt carrier cycles.
In a G3, the rollers do not have pins nor do they lock. They simply delay the opening of the action.
But great thread man and thanks. There's a book of the same caliber and similarly rare as "Full Circle" on the MG42 and it's history (including the MG39, MG42V, MG45 and IIRC MG60 not to be confused by the American MG of the same name) by a Norwegian dude named Folke Myrvang. Would be incredible if you or anyone else had that as a PDF.

There was a late-war prototypeof the MG42 converted to roller-delayed that's covered in the book IIRC.
Nicholas Garcia
I understand the difference - I’ve had to read the book twice now as part of processing lol!
Those were just the ‘common catchnames’ I thought people would recognize that are covered. Others could include the CETME, StG44 and on. I wasn’t implying they were the same mechanism, nor is the book solely focussed on roller-locking, more on every aspect of roller-style-locking.
I’ll keep a look out for that book though, feel free to email me in case I ever do find it: [email protected]
Carter Reed
Bump.
Juan Ward
>There was a late-war prototypeof the MG42 converted to roller-delayed that's covered in the book IIRC I'll have to read the book but it's the MG42V and/or MG45 most likely.
Btw in some sources, MG42V and MG45 are claimed to be different names for the same gun. This is false, I have pics of the internals and they're quite different. I can post them in case anyone is interested.
>I’ll keep a look out for that book though, feel free to email me in case I ever do find it: Will do bro and thanks again.
