The small arms markets of Darra Adam Khel have made themselves known throughout the world for the immaculate ability of talented Pashtuns to handcraft a large number of small arms and produce almost identical copies of numerous Western designs for over a century. In this episode, we look at a few rifles that were produced in Darra, along with their original Martini-Henry or SMLE originals. In addition, we take a look at a local monstrosity that is an 8mm magazine fed, M1917 Enfield action married with a Kalashnikov outline of a receiver and actual folding AKMS buttstock.

This episode will be the first in a series of three total, looking specifically at these small arms from the gun markets of Darra from the long gun perspective, the Kalashnikov perspective, and a handgun perspective.

Out and about, at a brief stopping point as I saw this and I haven't clicked the video link yet...I'm thinking these gunmakers were featured once upon a time in an issue of "Soldier of Fortune" magazine, circa early '80s. I'll check the video later.
