The title of the film is Carbine Williams (1952). A link should be provided to http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0044480/ rumjal 15:42, 9 January 2009 (UTC). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rumjal (talk • contribs)

short stroke system

I am beginning to doubt the claim "Williams' short-stroke piston was previously patented". Mannlicher had a short stroke piston design 1900 that directly impacted the bolt lug, to start unlocking and opening the bolt, closure of the bolt effected by a recoil spring operating on the bolt. William's short stroke tappet system used for the Winchester M2 Browning rifle and M1 Carbine used a short stroke piston that struck a weight block attached to a slide to impart motion to unlock and open the bolt, closure of the bolt effected by a recoil spring operating on the slide. Naaman Brown (talk) 23:58, 18 January 2010 (UTC) The 1951 claims by Winchester were in anticipation of a law suit by Williams; since Winchester made a popular shotgun using Williams floating chamber system years after, that crisis had evidently passed. Ed Pugsley's last set of inteviews on relations between Winchester and Williams were much more concilitory. Naaman Brown (talk) 03:52, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
