"Enfield Production GR7"
That made me do a double-take. That just drips Cold War kino.

I guess Vickers publishes through headstamp or was bought by them? I thought Vickers was its own thing or something, but if headstamp keeps them coming that is nice. They are expensive books but they look nice. I have the HK pistols, need the submachine gun and rifles book. I thought maybe rifles would cover the et cetera, like grenade launchers, flares, underwater gun, but maybe that is going in vol 4.

  @TheUnspoken You do remember Larry Vickers is in serious trouble and may be facing prison time, right? Pretty sure he needs to divest and keep options open. Headstamp may want to stay in business as their leader heads off on an extended vacation.

  @Another Mike He's a convicted felon; therefore, his entire gun collection was "given" to the ATF for free. I assume that would be a considerable chunk of his retirement funds.

  @Another Mike Headstamp I think was a separate company started by Forgotten Weapons Ian McCollum, while they collaborated on some books I thought they were separate but it seems Vickers is now under the headstamp brand. Of course I don't expect Vickers guide to say "due to legal issues we are under headstamp" I just don't remember seeing the headstand acquires announcement.
