I finally got the video shot and edited for the Argentine Short Jacket Vickers. This is a really fun little gun to shoot! And it's a flame thrower.. can't wait to take it up to Big Sandy this October for the night shoots....

Very nice, and rare, Vickers. But to me, it seems to be running pretty fast. The first time I ran my Vickers in 8mm, Dolf made me remove the barrel muzzle cup to slow it down.

I believe this ewe-toob video demonstrates the nice-and-slow Vickers speed.

It might be running a little faster, especially with the shorter barrel (lighter weight). I did remove the muzzle cup from the end of the barrel and am using a bored out cap (much larger hole).

Several years ago I had a nice online discussion with a gentleman about a short jacket Argentine Vickers he inherited from his father. If I recall, he had the gun Dolf pictured in the GOL. Are you this individual or is this that gun?

This gun is the one pictured in the GOL book (Assembly #9), but I did not inherit it. At the time the book was published it was owned by Pat Tomlinson, who sold it to a well known Arizona collector. I was able to purchase it from his estate.
