Has anyone read his translation of the German Tiger Tank manual???? OUTSTANDING WORK!!!! I've had Sherman tank folks buy that manual. John did an outstanding job on it. The submarine manual is great also. Seen the one on the German flak 88???? Another standing manual translation. Well go to his webs...

There have been several different cuts from different time periods. Short cuts were the norm for several years then centerfire got in a load of receivers that had longer cuts. One of time periods of the shorter cut was about 10 to 15 years ago. For a time period there was a piece being sold as a fil...

Not sure if a list of sizes was ever made. As with a lot of those items they are the same size. There are several photo (or were, Thanks to off site hosting) topic listings that showed the differences. Pic by pic comparisons. Look around and if my computer keeps working I'll see what I can find to h...

A pic or two would go a long way in helping things. If you need help let John or I know, with the posting of the pics.

Believe me set the trigger lever straight out towards you and slap it down fast and it will go thru a 50 rd belt so fast you will not think about crank fire unless you have lots of ammo. Been there done that with the slap of the trigger bar before.
Enjoy
Looking forward to the pics.

Long days at work and did not get things done till today/night whatever. I believe that the following is a yugo lafette and measurements from the bolt box and a few other pics. Lafette we are review data plate 43.jpg Another view note rear weapon mounts, straight in the back not rounded. Also note s...

Like the idea of keeping the belt length at 50 and doing the grind out so only 10 can be loaded in a row. Nice idea. Ok, question can you receive the belt and then grind it before anyone knows or ???? So happen to live in a state does not have those rules. And I/we don't have those problems. Later 4...

The MG42 semi, what trigger setup does it have? If the standard ar-15 one then a little bending to the mg3 lafetter trigger metal might be needed. Not much but. Sorry no thoughts on the rivet hitting problem. A pic might help out a lot here. Good Luck and let us know whats working post a pic and we ...

I believe that I have a marked yugo lafette and will be happy to check it out and do photos and take the measurements tomorrow. It's like 10:30 pm here and I had a long day. So will work on on Sunday our tomorrow.

And a starter tab holds 3 rounds. Do they count that in a possible belt of ten rounds?
I would hope not. Are you going to be shooting 8mm or 308?

Brian does not always have everything listed on the website.
You should call him and ask about it and if he is out when will he be doing a run.

Well flemgunner that just sucks for those folks that need your help man. Now Please go and take a Tank ride for me and Enjoy it. New job rebuilding and riding in tanks all day long.

Just went to the wise lite arms website the cost of a built "working" m53/42 is $5,200. +/- shipping did not look. Wow. Going to have to think about this one. On topic. Again one of the builders I would talk to is flemgunner. As stated before. Also Brian at brp, but that would require buyi...
