nikolaj_s_84Farquhar-Hill Self-Loading Rifle
Many a firearm designer strove to create an effective self-loading rifle in the early twentieth century, and by the last years of the First World War some countries had begun to look seriously at the concept.
In Britain, the Farquhar-Hill (named after the two men behind the rifle) was originally conceived in 1908, and came close to army adoption in 1918.
A complicated and unconventional design, the Farquhar-Hill uses a gas port to operate a piston against a spring beneath the barrel.
The piston is then locked in place, forcing the spring to decompress rearwards against the bolt carrier. The carrier is pushed back, working against a stud to unlock the bolt. Once the bolt is fully rearward, the piston is unlocked and the system returns forwards.
With the end of the war and Britain’s poor economic situation, arms development was severely curtailed and the Farquhar-Hill would never see service.
As a result, it would take nearly forty more years until Britain’s first self-loading service rifle, the L1A1 SLR, was adopted
