Is it practical to recharge Gifford cylinders to fire them?

Lawrie I sent you an email the other day. Did you get a chance to read it please?

Hi Danny,

Sorry about not replying, you sent the email to my old address which is not used very often, anyway I have now seen it, I’m not sure what measurements you require, but it is a quite complicated magazine, I am not an engineer and would only be able to give basic external measurements, the one I have is a copy of one belonging to Vic Turner of Protek, made for me by an engineer quite a few years ago, so not sure if the measurements I could give would be of use, it is larger than the pistol magazine measurements, the pictures on your vintage site don’t show the complicated machining necessary to make it. If I can help I am quite happy to do so. I had two of the pistols, both had repro. magazines, I sold one a couple of years ago.

Kind regards,

Lawrie
