Have a friend back in Pennsylvania that has quite a few of them. He has had these for many years and they all were target pistols custom made.He bought these when he was stationed over there many years ago. I have shot these and they are as accurate as my target pistols. They are not fancy but will take out the x

Triggerguard is mainspring and rear sight with elevator?
It appears as if the rear sight does have an elevation adjustment, but that's not the most distinguishing feature. The trigger guard is indeed the mainspring and that's part of it, but there is a name that these types of firearms go by that is the best way to describe them.

Q 103 This is a MODERN Hopkins and Allen underhammer pistol, .36 or .45 cal, only four moving parts in action, 5th if you count sight. This modern handgun had the added feature of a half-cock safety notch. The historic design was developed to improve flintlock ignition! it is originally a American Design that was simpler then the European side-lock.
Q 103 to wildrider! You are correct, I was mistaken. I misread the fact that it was European. The original underhammer design was Germanic, but Hopkins and Allen was based in Norwich, CT. I was considering 1950's or earlier as "fairly old," but I supposed really that's modern.

True or False: If you put the butt of an inertia-action gun like a Benelli against a brick wall it will not cycle when fired.

My first thoughts were Arisaka, Pedersen, and Lebel, based on some of the styling cues.
It's a French RSC (Ribeyrolle, Sutter and Chauchat) M1917. Introduced in 1917 and it used a lot of available parts produced for Lebel rifles.

It's a SIG MKMS. The only special feature I know of is the fact that the magazine could be stored horizontally in the stock and released into the vertical, functional position by simply pressing a release button.

TennJeep nails it. The the mag folding into the stock made the Subgun look like a std rifle to enemy observers. Imagine the surprise when the increase in firepower was let loose when expecting to face bolt guns!

Australian F1 submachine gun with 34 round 9mm magazine. It was adopted in the mid sixties and served until the late eighties when it was replaced by the F88 assault rifle (a license-made version of the Steyr AUG).
I actually stumbled across this one while I was looking for the answer to the previous question.

I already found the answer to Q 108. I may have found your source, because I've been able to find out the answer to the last few pretty quickly. I will refrain from answering for a day or so to let others have a chance.

Good Sport TennJeep. I pulled the last three from three different sites. You must have hit the SuperWiki Directory! Lol
Here is one I have no info on, just the pic. Q108A Try it.
