Taurus model 63

Article Abstract:

A semi-automatic rimfire rifle, Taurus Model 63 made by Taurus of Brazil, functions like the original Winchester 63, but not as costly as Winchester 63. The Model 63 weighs 6lbs, .30ozs, which makes it a little heavier than other semi-automatic rimfire rifles, but this extra weight gives stability when shooting and one who owns will feel proud of it.

The first Thompsons

Article Abstract:

The Model of 1919 Thompson submachine guns were the first of their breed, but they were more of an evolutionary series than a model and were the foundation of an American legend. The success of the Auto-Ordnance Co., the Thompson and an American legend were all built upon these unique Models of 1919.
