Im going with my partner in crime and a shooting buddy. We'll be staying at the Luxor....

Anybody else going?

Im a fan of the spray and bakes - Kg or dura coat. Ive parked stuff in the past and its a pain. Granted baking big stuff can get you in trouble with the wife but... I like them because theyre durable and provide way more protection from corrosion. Cleaning an belt fed anything is PAIN, I like the sh...

It seems to have disappeared - you'll have to do a search on the site itself. Sorry

I put this on Arfcom earlier.... Full ruling caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=dc&navby=case&no=955187a snippits: "Although the merits panel did not use the word "unreasonable," by pointing out that the Bureau's approach required treating identical weapons in completely different ways,...

Jbaum, Good suggestions. Ive played with the recoil springs and finally settled on a very tired/weak WWII cut down and one of Brian's SA springs. Both work equally well. I did take all the parts out of a new MG1 topcover that worked and but them in the one I refinished (matching is important - lol)....

No it seems nobody has one

DI, Ive got mg1 topcovers, etc. coming out my ears. Im hoping that an MG-3 topcover will improve my reliablity with post war belts so I dont have to keep using my WWII belts. Im hoping that starting with new or almost new parts I can get more reliabilty vs. using parts from several eras and origins....

The 'newer' belts seem to be the ones that give me trouble. Ive noticed the looser the belt holds the rounds the better it works. Inmthinking that I may 'massage' the 'tail' of the link to decrease its tension and see if that helps... Weasel - youre a lucky man the DM-1 belts are what mine hates the...

Belts, belts, belts. Seems theyre not all created equally. Awhile back I got a pretty smoking deal on MG3 belts and I bought about 50 and split them with my shooting buddy - also know as Kato the cattleman. The belts were new and pristine. Since I mostly shoot 308 (I hate cleaning) Also I like be re...

Robert is out of them. Got any other sources?

I have all but quit parking stuff - its a PITA. Instead I degrease (and degrease and degrease), sand blast, K-PHOS, the KG coat. The k-phos gives you a light/medium grey finish and it works like parking. It also provides a good base for your KG. Since other than spraying it over bare metal and weigh...

KNW, Depending on how important the Isreal connection is you really should look at building a 1919 - theyre easy to build, reliable, lots of inexpensive spare barrels and parts as well. The coolest thing will be the Hebrew markings combined with the US ordinance markings - sort of illustrates the re...

I think we can use the receiver pieces - EzFeeds letter seems to allow for such. I think it is vital that we destroy the ability to install FA parts - bolt and grip stick PRIOR to any attempts at rewelding. We do need a classification letter. Im more than willing to submit my grip stick or build ano...

the 42 probly won't contain an oob explosion it is only sheet metal Well I dont know about everyone elses, but my MIG welded receiver has tolerated more than one out of battery explosion. While its reassuring to know the welds held, hot gases and metal moving by your fingers is not a pleasant exper...

Yes I do (still gots 10 infact). Of course there's a reason I wear birkenstocks to the range - no show strings with my guns agents, no sir.

The grey paint just wipped off whereas the red (inside) and the tan (outside) was untouched.

Yes it is wicked stuff - it will cause cancer in most organs twice, but it removes cosmosline and crude very well.

Silly, I know but remember the shoe string, gents.

Tony, Remember that 'new' with these kits can be a very relative thing. Also if youre shooting 308 it gets really bad since lots of kits have a mix of 308 and 8mm parts. I think your on the right track with the springs I's also check for wear in the feed mech in general. Eventhough your using a yugo...

IMA was outof post war drums (WWII) repaints when I last ordered so I go a few of their WWII drums. They were NASTY with grease/grim and crude so I got out my handy homemade dregreaser and my plastic brush. Low and behold if the grey paint didnt turn to muck and rinse right off. underneath was a nic...

Hey Tony - for your next trick make a preditor pack hook up for the feed tray!

Looks nice!.....Oh yeah and I bet bet being a SOT holder makes it even better
