X-Ray of my model 37
I thought some of you might enjoy seeing a little different view of the inner workings of my model 37.

Yep that’s really cool says the mechanical part of me and an owner of a X-rayed firearm. Is your 37 X-ray to scale? Did you do it personally?
There was/is a guy over on HKPRO that was/is X-raying classic/exotic firearms. I got a HK MP5/w with an A2 stock some years ago. It appears he has access to a really high end device, (and really high end firearms.) I understand that some can not be to scale, (commercially,) but I still want an actual to scale X-ray’s of a few. Mine is @ 1/4 scale but still appreciated.
**I was made to remove it from my control room at work**

The book Smith & Wesson 1857-1945 by Neal and Jinks has quite a few of these images.

x-rays are just a shadow created by high energy electromagnetic waves. Think of it as a high energy form of light. It’s like taking the gun and placing it on a table then shining a flashlight down on it. In this case the light, x-rays, pass right through it which creates the shadow. So on the film the resulting image is 100% to scale. I then scanned the film and enlarged it so now it’s larger than actual size.
