    Nic Jenzen-Jones, Director of Research for Headstamp Publishing, spent some time in Budapest speaking with László Becz, author of "Rifles on the Danube: Hungarian Kalashnikov Firearms 1959-2002". They talked about everything from the history of the FÉG factory to the difficulties in finding and interviewing retired engineers who don't have phones. All in all, Laszlo has put twenty years of work into this book, and it's exciting to see it come fully to fruition now!

    I for one like seeing a non-Ian host! If this means we can have more Forgotten Weapons content, especially for something like books coming out, I consider that purely a good thing. It's not like this means Ian is doing less.

But the husband works in a baby stroller factory he brings the parts home and try assembly. After some week the man get angry and say to his wife: - I give up! No matter how many time i put this together its became a tank!

We absolutely want to hear your questions, clarifications, and additions, but the focus should be on Mr. Becz's answers. In particular, I'd like to hear his full sentences.
