Description: | This blow-forward gas-operated self-loading rifle, designed by Hungarian Edmund Tatarek, was produced and trialled in Britain. It is based on parts of a late production P13, whose serial number it retains.
The barrel is shrouded by a sleeve which blows forward for about 20cms to cycle the action. The movement of the sleeve is transferred to a rod and two springs within the forestock, which open and close the bolt.
This rifle apparently saw trials at same time as another Hungarian design - the Kretz. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
