The guns are quite scarce today because only a fairly small number appear to have been produced before World War One ended its manufacture. <\/p>\n<p>Mechanically, the Tirmax is simple blowback, although incorporating a heavy hammer spring into the system to increase the bolt&#8217;s resistance to opening when fired. The hammer also has a lever extension on the left side of the receiver, allowing it to be manually cocked prior to manually cycling the bolt.<\/p>\n<p>Out on the range, this particular example exhibited a bunch of problems, although that may or may not be representative of overall production. In addition to feed problems, I had one instance where the firing pin appears to have stuck in the forward position, resulting in 3 rounds slam firing in extremely fast succession &#8211; note that this is part of why one does not put one&#8217;s hand over the ejection port! After that incident, I stopped firing and the gun&#8217;s owner will have it looked at by a good gunsmith.<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>\nForgotten Weapons<br \/>\nPO Box 87647<br \/>\nTucson, AZ 85754<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons The Tirmax is a handy little carbine made between 1909 and 1914 in Liege by a German company.
