Verschluß or Breech Lock Up

Compiled by Larry B. Schuknecht

    The following articles appeared in the German periodical Duetsche Jagd in Nov. & Dec. 1937 and were found in the archive of material from the Suhl gun maker Franz Jäger. Following the article Franz and his son Erich who was an Engineer had a vast correspondence with the author of the articles. They disagreed with the way the author calculated the strength of differant lock-ups. Their formula for that calculation differed from the author’s. If I am able I will include some of that correspondence.
