Over~T wo~Shot John Val Val A. Browning Browning You will have seen the model Three-Shot by now, and I would like you to know my desires as to this gun. First, let us recall that our agreement with F.N, gives us the right to take Over-Two-Shot guns in view of AA guns. I do, therefore, dozen models hope that (actually it will six would be possible do but to make about ten I prefer more), which should or one not cost F.N, much on account of the regular AA I would think they might accomplish without parts delay which can be used. This and perhaps while Bruce is there his family (I suppose he wants to be home with for Chris tmas). The model gun which Bruce took over is just about right as far as all the scat dicots ne are concerned and would, of course, incorporate all of the AA modifications which you have found necessary for functioning. The Three Shot model should function better with light and heavy loads, because I have allowed the barrel 7 mms. more rearward movement. You will at once see the advantage of this extra movement, the disadvantage, of course, being non—interchangeability of AA and Three-Shot barrels. As Bruce knows the loading opening cover should be stiffened up and a more attractive finger piece put on it. It would look attractive if the carrier could be made of one plece, having the front end curled downwardly to form the cartridge stop, but this might be too expensive from a tooling standpoint, and the riveted piece underneath is good enough. A more attractive shap_e could be designed perhaps. The magazine tube might possibly be threaded into the front of the receiver, but I still like the idea of silver solder best. However, the lower front end of receiver might be drilled and reamed and then the tube silver soldered into place instead of cutting clear through at the pottom front end if this would be a better and more economic manufacturing method, carrier muha to rear the : > is downward « n cdsattiient pee 1 now seems — because narrower and thus gets You will note that the slicate. orwardly nagazine follower, which is the adjustment in the distance which extends when the carrier f carrie) is should | made on the AA gun, The of the oo ger barrel movement and full friction efficiency from the separate recoil spring eliminates is raised eliminate by the a delicate because it is cones at each end. the contingency
