POLLC Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 While working in my garage today, I came across this catalog. I thought it would be something the strumgewehr community would enjoy... a walk down Memory Lane. Thanks for looking. Alan 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner11 Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 That's a really cool piece of history. I was just at Curtis house before Christmas having him do some work on an Mp5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron in Mohnton Pa Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) That is really neat. My first transferable machine gun was a S&H Mp5 sear gun. Didn’t even know Curtis made manuals like that. @POLLC If your ever decide to sell this manual, I’ll pay good money for it.

Delta-10 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Yeah, I have an S&H sear in my Ruger 10/22 that John Norrell set up. I wonder how much prior to May 1986 did they come up with the idea for sear conversions rather than a registered receiver. Or was it truly a last "minute" idea? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
har1690 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Nice piece of history. The address is very close to Fleming Firearms back in the early 90's, 7720 E. 126St. N. Collinsville, OK 74021 as I recall. Those guys were the OG's of the early 90's! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navgunner Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Yup, those two are the OGs. Curtis now operates S&H Arms solo in Owasso, OK. Super nice guy and still active. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonlmg41 Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Sears were last minute and not everyone was allowed to register them. A lot was dependent on who was inspecting them and what they would allow as a machine gun. This is why some guys only did registered receivers, and trigger packs. Yes, before the internet, catalogs were a "thing", in fact the only thing. People talked on the phone and sent hand written letters that were expensive to mail due to the weight of the stone they were carved on? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
