I remember back in the late 1960's Gun World had an article about a 1911 Colt pistol handmade in Vietnam or Cambodia, the Cao Dai pistols. I don't have a photo of it but it is mentioned in SMALL ARMS OF THE WORLD by Ed Ezell, 1977

Another interesting book is ZIPS, PIPES, AND PENS by Truby published by Palladin Press. It is loaded with various zip guns.

Then there is WEAPONS OF THE AMERICAN UNDERGROUND with aricles on home made sub machine guns.

In the 1980's there was a magazine FIREPOWER, which built and tested many of these machines. That is when LICENSED NEW machine guns were still legal to buy.

This is my last photo.

Yessir'e gun control works, doesn't it!

Is this the one?

Thanks to both of you guys, especially Ruy Dias de Bivar for his 6 replies and the in depth answers he gave. I appreciate both of you answering. Very few people know about the guns made in Prisons, due mainly to the MSM hushing up any article that might mention them, and it is good to know someone out there has a memory as good as mine or at least(in the case of Ruy Dias)has done more research than I have lately on the subject. :)

I remember reading an article about Vietnam in one of the gun magazines some time around 1970 that showed a bolt action rifle that was a copy of a chinese WWII rifle that had been hand made with files and not much else. Once the knowledge of firearms is out there, it cannot be suppressed.Can you imagine making a gun out of a file? How about Carbine Williams making the M1 Carbine in prison? It just isn't possible to stamp out guns, regardless of what liberal a**hats tell us.
