This video delves into the history and technical aspects of the Erquiaga EM-62, a unique firearm developed by Juan Erquiaga. Erquiaga, a Peruvian officer with ties to Fidel Castro's early revolutionary efforts, later emigrated to the US and established a gunsmithing shop. The EM-62 is detailed as a conversion of the M1 Garand to fire 7.62mm NATO from M14 or FAL magazines. The video touches upon its intended market, both civilian and military, and Erquiaga's subsequent ventures, including a Sten knockoff for Costa Rica, before his eventual return to Peru. It also briefly mentions Gordon Ingram's involvement and subsequent work on the MAC series.
