Parma, Idaho
Wilkinson Arms was shut down by the ATF (at least that is the local legend) for reasons that I've never been real clear on. They were in a small town in Southwestern Idaho called Parma. Parma's only other claim to fame was that Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan, was a city councilmember before World War One. I live about ten miles from Parma and now and again one of the Wilkinson guns will pop up in a local gunstore. --Jcordell 16:01, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Company or Gun Family?
Is this a page for a company and their guns or is this a family of guns that came from the same company? --Wuzh (talk) 06:01, 22 December 2017 (EST)

Do any of these even have a full-auto firing option? I think they're all semi only, but I'd like a confirmation before I yank the SMG and machine pistol categories out of the page. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 18:15, 20 June 2018 (EDT)
