Khyber Pass Copy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A Khyber Pass Copy is a firearm manufactured by cottage gunsmiths in the Khyber Pass region between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The area has long had a reputation for producing unlicensed, home-made copies of firearms using whatever materials are available- more often than not, railway lines/sleepers, junked motor vehicles, and scrap metal. The quality on such rifles varies- as one might expect- ranging from "As good as a factory-produced example" to "dangerously unsafe", tending towards the latter end of the scale.
The most commonly encountered Khyber Pass Copies are of British military firearms, notably Martini-Henry, Martini-Enfield, and Lee-Enfield rifles, although AK-47 rifles, Webley Revolvers, Tokarev TT-33s, Colt M1911s, and Browning Hi-Powers have also been encountered as Khyber Pass Copies. A "Khyber Pass" Kalashnikov-style rifle usually refers to such a rifle composed of a mishmash of parts from various countries' AK rifles and that is thus unlike any rifle ever produced by a factory or issued by a regular military force. The typical example of a "Khyber Pass AK" is a stamped receiver AKM in 7.62x39 caliber, fitted with the triangular folding stock common to Russian AKS-74 rifles.
The Khyber Pass gunsmiths first acquired examples of the various British service arms during 19th Century British military expeditions in the North-West Frontier, which they used to make their own copies. During World War II, some of the locally organised Irregular Forces were issued Khyber Pass made rifles - partly for financial reasons, and partly because there was concern the troops would steal their rifles and desert if issued higher-quality British or Indian manufactured rifles.
