Spemwhere, possibly in a Gun Digest, I've seen a listing of all the known Pederson Devices. There were 50 of them, including a couple that had been in a fire. I can't remember where I saw this, can anyone help?
There was at least one made for the Moisin-Nagant rifle.
France copied the 30 Pederson round as the 7.675mm Long. It was used in the Mles 1935A and 1935S pistols and the MAC(?) 38 SMG. It took a while for France to get into production of the cartridge and all the experimental work was done with 30 Pederson rounds purchased from Remington.
There are several Pederson Devices on display, including two cutaways, one at West Point, the other at Springfield. Magazine pouches aren't too scarce, but all the rest is very expensive. In the 1980s, one of the gun parts companies had a special on modified triggers and cutoffs. I got one of each and finally gave them to a friend who collected Springfields; probbly the closest etiher of us will get to owning a Pederson Device, still I wish I had them now.
Has anyone ever seen a manual on the Pederson Device?
Some very poor photos of the Pedersons at West Point and Springfield.
