Very astute, Mr. Smith. I don’t suppose naming-of-parts can get much more steampunk than Col Moubray Gore Farquhar, DSO.
It occurs to one that it would be worth the transfer tax on a Farquhar-Beardmore merely to be able to print its name on one’s calling card, to be deposited in the silver salver of a lady’s vestibule. How eminently civilised, and how utterly recoilless.

Neat .308 Titanium/Unobtanium $$, but what’s with the forward assist??

I wonder what kind of coatings they use to stop the titanium from galling?

Bet that recoiless rifle is using the old Farquar-Hill rifle type action…

Titanium is expensive, but I don’t think it is THAT expensive.
