Despite not being fully put into service, the E.M.2 did have a full-fledged manual written. It was called “Provisional Notes”, but included all the drills and instructions for use and handling of the rifle, and was fully illustrated. We are going to be printing a fantastic reproduction of this original manual, which will be available to anyone who backs the Kickstarter campaign by preordering a copy of Thorneycroft to SA80!

At Forgotten Weapons I think the most interesting guns out there are the most obscure ones. I try to search out experimental and prototype weapons and show you how they work, in addition to more conventional guns that you may not have heard of before. You’re much more likely to find a video on the Cei Rigotti or Webley-Fosbery here than an AR or Glock. So, do you want to learn about something new today? Then stick around!
