I think I read that one a while ago James. Still one of my favorites and if someone would reproduce them in 45 just imagine the interest they would create.
I think it's a reprint James. Shotgun news has done that before after it was in another magazine. I miss the old shotgun news though. Not so many articles but tones of adds and good prices to boot. The one thing not mentioned is that China did adopt it as a secondary weapon after the commies took over. This included several rare variations including a 45 auto and the clip loaded ones. The 45 cal version was built during WWII if I remember right. Sadly most of them were destroyed before China started importing things into the US.
