The various gun companies have been dumping machine gun kits on the market for the last few years,i.e. MG42 and MAS1934. Those of us who collect guns know how hard it is to own an automatic weapons, so we build our own dummy ones. It is here that Small Arms Review is of great help. It offers us the inside information on assembling these dummy guns. If you have parents or relatives who have served in the arm forces they will affirm that the articles on various weapons is spot on. The history of these arms is also fasinating to history buffs. The picture tours of the various musems is wonderful. Yes it is a magazine for a small group of us who love weapons but it is the one to have if you collect them.

Small Arms Review is a very technical publication covering weapons from every time period but focusing on the more modern era (1900 and up) with a sting focus on machine guns. This is the magazine of the NFA/Class 3 crowd and a great read. The articles are varied and well written. I can easily recommend this to the shooter, historian or collector.

There are few sources for so much information on full auto and suppressors. I top of the line publication for those with good taste in arms.

The de facto successor to the old B&W "Machine Gun News," back issues of which now command a premium. Same writers, editors, for the most part. Recommend building your back issues library (to 1997) while you still can. The only journal of the U.S. civilian NFA/Class III community, not to be confused with a defense industry publications.

Lots of technical data and pics. Lots of gun history articles. Lots of shoot articles and lots of great ads for military guns and their accessories. Mostly military guns are covered so it is stuff we don't usually find in the other gun magazines. Two thumbs up!
