There is a lot of WW1/ ww2 and later machine guns here in Canada. We used to have an FA Association. That way everyone kept in touch and traded guns. But the Association folded because everyone got older. Because of the membership, many interesting guns were imported into Canada up until Dec 1978. The prices were always pretty reasonable because 99% of the people were not interested in FA. Because of this the FA collector's got "screwed" big time when new rules were made. There are ultra rare aluminium receiver and frame Model 1921 TSMG's registered in Canada. Brought here by Colt as dealer samples for the Canadian Military/Police. All models of M16's, AR18's,Ruger 556's,American 180's, Sterlings,UZI's,MP5's Walther MPL/MPK's etc...
Milsurps from WWII to present days.

An all original parts early Winchester M1 Carbine. The stock is an I-cut that was changed into a low wood, it's strange but the only markings I found on the wood is a "W" in the well for the sling. Maybe the inspectors mark and the eskutcheon have been worn off.

An FP45/M1942 "Liberator" pistol, it still has the comic-strip instructions! Those are hard to find, at least on this side of the big pond.
Saw one of these on TV, Auction Hunters. Their "gun expert" said no rifling, designed for sneak up and shoot at close or contact range. Drop it and pick up the better gun kind of weapon.
I had the opportunity to fire a Liberator a short while ago, and NOT for the feint of heart I can tell you. The blast was horrendous and the recoil was worse than a 44 mag with 24 grains of 2400 in the case!!!
All in all a unique experience and I imagine they did what they were expected to do. Pop off the owner of a more sophisticated arm and then take his. I believe the life of the Liberator was under 20 rounds.

A Friend of mine , had one of these, complete with instructions ---- It was the only one I have ever seen, would have loved to fire it , but didn,t get the chance, --- That Friend is no longer alive, he died after moving back to the states, --- Wonder whatever happened to the pistol ??? !! ----

Me and my M1, SKS, P226 and HK45 feel incredibly inadequate right now....thanks 
beautiful collection....btw, if I ever put my guns on the couch, my wife would take her time picking the appropriate tool and use it for what it was designed....without blinking an eye

Another M1 Carbine, this one is a quite nice, all matching original parts, early Rock-Ola Carbine.

Nope, they are really hart to get, I have never heard of Solas being in private collections! I had the luck to "inspect" one at the police armoury and there are a few on display at the National Military History Museum, that's all I've come across.
