Thanks for posting the link. I have read about that gun, but never seen even a picture of it. That's pretty cool!

This gun?
My scanner can't scan the whole document due to size constraints.

An anonymous friend sent me these documents of which there are too many to scan and post here. Within this Triggs signed envelope are many photos of this weapon system along with the entire 30 page manuscript of it being tested at Aberdeen Proving Ground dated Nov 22, 1941. There are also a few pages of Mr. Rugers' personal notes about it and the rejection letter from Lt. Col. of the Ordinance Dept. Rene R. Studler dated Dec 5, 1941. Enjoy!!
