Your gun was made during the early 70's It was made in Knoxville, Tn at the Bull Run machine shop also known as Cammando Arms. This Co. was making the old grease guns for the U.S When the Govt. contracts ended, they started making the gun you have. They were made in both 45 and 9mm. They sold for aroung 100 bucks back then. They look like a Thompson,, but that's about all. They are heavy as lead, shoot fair and are only sami- auto. The early ones fired from an open bolt " these could be made to shoot full-auto very easily. The later ones fired from a closed bolt. Is to how many were made, thousands. I saw one at a gun show last month for sale. They were asking 300 for it
It isn't made of silver. Canadian nickels were made of 99.9% nickel for many years. From 1982 to 1999 the coin was made of 75% copper and 25% nickel, the same composition as US nickels. Starting in 2000 the Royal Canadian Mint began phasing in production of the coin using nickel-plated steel. Both steel and copper-nickel coins were produced until 2006 when all production was changed over to plated steel.
S&W has offered many models in this finish.
More than ONE BILLION 1981 nickels were issued for circulation. None plated with copper by the Mint. It's a novelty coin of some kind that has no numismatic collectible value. It's just a nickel.
The coin named a nickel has a mixture of 25% nickel and 75% copper. About 2/3 of all nickel metal produced goes into the production of stainless steel. Stainless steel is about 8 to 10 percent nickel, and 18 percent chromium. So your silverware in the kitchen contains nickel. NiCad rechargeable batteries have Nickel and Cadmium. Many items are nickel plated, due to nickel's corrosion resistance. See related link for more information.
I clean/polish my nickel silver the way I do any other silver/silver plate -- with a commercial silver cleaner/polish.
The charge passing through the cell is 15 x 10 x 60 = 9000 coulombs. No. of electrons = 0.0935 mole e- Since nickel has a charge of +2, one atom of nickel will require 2 e- to plate So, 0.0935 mole e- will give 0.0935/2 = 0.04675 mole e- of Nickel. Then one can calculate the no. of gms of nickel that can be plated out.
No. The stock (the part of a rifle or shotgun you hold against your shoulder) was traditionally made of wood. Today many are made of high strength plastics. Nickel (a metal) was used as a rust resistant coating for many handguns prior to the use of stainless steel. A nickel plated firearm has a shiny, silvery look to it.
Like many countries, Russia has changed its coinage composition in the last few years. Metals used as of 2012 are: 1 and 5 kopecks : cupronickel-steel 10 and 50 kopecks : brass-plated steel 1, 2, and 5 rubles : nickel-plated steel 10 rubles : brass-plated steel
No. For most of the years 1922-1981, they were pure nickel. During WWII, they were made of tombac, which is a type of brass. In late WWII and again for Korea, they were chrome-plated steel. In 1982 it switched to a copper/nickel blend. Then starting in 2000, it's been nickel-plated steel. However, before 1922, Canada had a small silver 5-cent piece, half the size of the 10-cent piece. Being that it didn't contain any nickel, the coin wasn't called a nickel.
EPNS stands for electro plated nickel silver. This means that it was made after 1900 and is of no interest to antique collectors. The value is about $20 if you can find a buyer. There are not many buyers for silver plated items.
There is nothing called "international money" Each country or issuing authority has its own coins. Some coins like dollars and euros circulate in multiple countries, but that's as close to "international money" as there is. Bottom line, you have to know what country you're interested in, and what denominations. Some places issue 8 or 10 kinds of coins made of many different metals! Common metals are: Copper Copper-nickel alloy Aluminum Brass Nickel Nickel-brass alloy Magnesium-brass alloy Plated steel Plated zinc
Many. There is no limit and just about anyone willing to volunteer can.
