Re: Introductions (or one way to increase your post count).

Hello all,

Just wanted to introduce myself because I hope to be spending some time on this board. I have lurked a few times in the past while I awaited my ATF transfer for my MG42. I hope to gain knowledge about the MG42 from the experience of members on this board.

Thanks in advance,
Bigbang
