New Sidelever Falling Block Design Courtesy Leszek Kaminski
#264653 - 07/05/15 12:03 PM

I received this link from Polish gunwriter and film-maker Leszek Kaminski. The basic design has been used to build rifles from 22 lr to 375 Magnum, and a 7.62x39 single shot pistol.

Pan Kaminski made a video of the design at IWA earlier this year.

They're different, not my cup of tea but nice to see people mixing things up.

Not interested either, Ash. But someone might like them - a bit outlandish for me.
Appeared you'd have to tip the action to get the empty out before putting in another - like the Model71 Mauser.

It didn't float my boat either but that is just personal taste. I'm sure there are many people who would find it attractive.

That is an ugly rifle! I think that once an elegant design is "brought into modern taste", or total lack thereof, it looses its purpose, I cannot imagine what the maker of this rifle was trying to achieve, it fulfils no obvious purpose, let us hope it fades into obscurity!

What is this? A rat's tail ???

I try to be polite but I'm afraid these guns are very ugly. Angular and don't even look very functional.

The handgun might be functional at least but ...

Back in the days of the Romanov Family Russia, Eastpreussia and other part of Eastern Europe actually did have a fine rich culture around fine gun making. Perhaps they are trying to find their way back?. As for now I am not interested..:LOL

In trying to find their way back it looks like they took a very wrong turn somewhere and need to back up or start again
