A Note On Coin-Slotted Screws

Many action takedown screws and main stock retaining screws have slots designed for use with a coin, the theory being that a shooter in the field might not have a large screwdriver at hand, but would be likely to have pocket change. The slots in these screws are wider than normal, and the floor of the slots will be curved, to match the curve of a coin edge. It is possible, and advisable, for the gunsmith or advanced amateur to alter a large shop screwdriver to exactly fit these screws. In general, though, the following advice applies: Do not use an ordinary, unaltered large screwdriver on coin-slotted screws.

AP-74 (E.M.F.)

Data:EMF Model AP-74Origin: ItalyManufacturer:Armi Jäger, Torino, for EMF Co. Inc.Cartridge:22 Long RifleMagazine capacity:15 roundsOverall length: 38½ inchesBarrel length: 20 inchesWeight: 6½ pounds

Designed to be a 22 caliber counterpart to the Colt AR-15 and U.S. M-16, the Model AP-74 is also very similar internally-without the gas system and bolt locking, of course. The gun is a little lighter, but has the same balance and handling qualities as the centerfire version. As those who have trained with the military rifle will be quick to note, the takedown also has many similarities.
