The manual says the traverse scale is not to be lubricated! I think it needs it.

Jorge

Should the traverse scale on the lafette be lubricated to allow easier side to side movement?
Also, how do you lube the trigger actuator inside the frame of the lafette?
what grease should be used?

Well, Ryan finally came thru, big time. My restored 1939 MG 34 lafette arrived via Ups ground, and the verdict is that Ryan did a great job! The feld grau is perfect; the waffenampts and other markings are all readable, no longer buried under coats of Russian green paint. The search device & elevati...

A good guy, but from time to time he gets overwhelmed. Keep trying to reach him, specially via his wife's ebay account.

I see many of you still have your tin foil hats on here at MG42.us In regards to me some how having a scam to steel insured packages off the back of the truck, to hell with you. For what it is worth, and I am sure not much by the sound of this thread, Jorge will have has restored lafette in a week ...

Jorge, If you go back through this thread...I am quite sure there were at least two other people that our fine friend Ryan mailed items that were insured and somehow those items got lost. Well, good luck...I would still contact UPS and tell them your spidy senses are tingling and this guys past tra...

Jorge, I would contact UPS and tell them about this guys past track record and to be well aware that this guy has mailing problems. If the pickup guy detects there is a problem, they can raise flags right away. Good luck Claudia Schnee wrote back today.... "I tried to give it to the UPS store today...

[quote="noonxnoon"]Not good MP5. Sorry to hear you have had to go through all of this. quote] After a full court press I have been sent a tracking number issued to their account 10/15/2009.... unfortunately UPS has not picked up the 70lb parcel yet. I guess they are waiting for a real strong UPS dud...

Well... After trusting him one last time, he has failed again. RS told me he had my tripod finished two months ago, but he's been too busy to ship it. Got a hold of his wife two weeks ago, and she said the tripod "may be" in a box in the trunk of her car, and that she would ship it last Monday. Repe...

Had a long conversation with El Ryan this AM. He says I will get the tripod back next month, which he is taking off to catch up. He says that he finally got his business, making stuff for Segway, up & running, and he will catch up with his "legacy" customers next month. He apologized for the delay ...

What 12WaffenSS is saying is that it is not news that Ryan takes practically forever to finish a project, and you should expect that if you do business with him in the future. My last words on this topic for now. When I sent the lafette to Ryan I had no illusions of a quick turnaround, yet in the b...

If you guys are happy with the arrangement, fine, I'm glad it works for you. But trying to convince me that it's a good thing and it "allows" you to do other things with your money must be way beyond my limited capacity to understand the logic.

I ain't happy.

Thx to the delay I've hoarded 5K rounds of 8mm Mauser Ball (8x57JS) Mfg. Hirtenberger Patronon, bought wholesale from Samco Global, my local legacy ammo provider. Now it is unobtainable anywhere!! Also I scored an "el primo" Z34 sight a couple of years ago from a legit dealer in Georgia whose name e...

Well God bless him! Ryan emailed me again, and he says the tripod he sold here is not mine, that he will call me soon.
Will keep you apparaised.

Jorge

All I can say is best of luck contacting him, since he's farther away not than ever... Wish I could help. Mighty DARIVS, Any clue as to what state, planet, or parallel universe our dear Ryan has moved to? Claudia Wifeofryan wrote me in April that he was buying a bussiness out east, in Philadelphia....

You could also ask DA,he always knows where he is! :lol: ---bil PS 43 months seems a bit excessive! Mighty DARIVS is not responsible for the actions of others; he has enough trouble on his own, what with improperly rewatted mp44's, etc...http://mg42.us/posting.php?mode=quote&f=3&p=66587&sid=77fea2e...

Does anyone have current contact info for Ryan Schnee? I last spoke with him in April. It seems from his wife's email that they were about to move "out east" to Philadelphia soon. In late May he sold a lafette on this forum ( or from his web site), and it seemed he wanted to move it before the end o...
