Made in Manchester CT
Any guns from these floating around out there? I'd love to get my hands on one. Who else knows anything about this company? hardcore? deanmachine?

Picked one up yesterday 
Pics also in mega pic thread but posted here for archives Open bolt subgun, made in Manchester CT at Dean Machine during the late 1970s and very early 1980s until the factory closed in '82, the DEMRO FX-7 "WASP" Manufactured simultaneously in both .45 ACP and 9mm, it uses the old grease gun mags when chambered in .45 and Sten mags for 9mm. The no-tools-needed caliber change takes less than 1 minute, swapping out the 16" barrel and adding/removing the magwell adapter. PIX!

Shoulder thing that goes up 
Open Bolt -- oh, noes~ 
Receiver and bolt 
Receiver, bolt, trigger assembly, STEN magwell adapter (grease gun mags fit without the adapter) 
Play it like a violin!

Haha please elaborate - what purpose does it serve? Im genuinely curious. I'm sure someone will chime in if I'm wrong, but I believe it was marketed as a "bed side" gun. You could keep it in the closet instead of a safe and it would be locked by built in combo. |

Yeah. it's a safety of sorts. Without the correct combination, the gun won't fire. Otherwise it's a cool looking 45, looks like a tommy gun. |

There were 2 of those at the range last month when this one was there. The combination lock was marketed towards law enforcement, since they were always leaving weapons on the hod of squad cars while going for coffee back in the '70s |

Thing is badass So Andrapos is this something you'd shoot, or is it more of a rare collector piece?

I have a Mac-10 I would convert. |
