Below is a photo of an early totally done TNW bolt....Of course, it is the underside of the rear, for you guys that don't have one of these. ..,,,You can clearly see the sloped/beveled edges of the end of the slot that is cut in the bolt carrier.....Without this cut beveled area, the hinged & spring...

That's fascinating....I have watched that video before, but now I'll have a more personal connection to it. ...I have nearly 11 years in Germany, back and forth between Ft.Knox and there over 22 years.....I had taken three trips to the Albert Canal and the great Fortress of Eben Emeal, where 79 FJs ...

Now that sounds like fun. ... I recently found a film bit on You Tube of the Stuka attack on the bridge at Remagen; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuTSwQcExj0 and here is that colorfull print of the German jet bombers escorted by jet fighters on the bombing mission to destroy the Ludendorf bridge; h...

Amazing, thankyou Siegfried.......... ..My father was in the Army Air Corps for a year, then in late 43, the Army needed more ground divisions, so he found himself at Camp Pickett, Va for training in the 78th Inf Division. His mother, (my grandmother) was a german immigrant, and hated that her son w...

How great!......Best wishes to your Dad.
Here is my uncle in the snow, and my dad below..;

Is you dad still with us?.....Mine, died in 1955, but my uncle who was his buddy is still with us, and he has been the one to tell me all the stories of when they were together in the 311th Inf Regt......bobh

Hello Sgt. Schultz.....! Hell, it's hard to tell with that one photo, if paint was used, or if it is nothing more than smeared mud or clay. ..... Strict regulations in the german army, some enforced more than others were enforced right up to the bitter end. Manybe this particular FJ unit, the comman...

What ?

Could be, but then again both helmets & gun may have dried mud/clay applied......I just can't imagine the FJs being allowed to paint their machine guns.

Wow, that may not be paint, but dried mud coated on that 42. hmm!

Wonderful!...thanks Richard!........bh

Greg; I remember those. In my opinion, these new 308 blanks are even more dirtier, and leave a lot of unburned powder particles, but are quite loud with a good flame..... .... BTW, DA and my dealer got atf approval, finally, for the 42 transfer, took 9.1/2 weeks.......that was wait number one;..now ...

I read thru your study of the Dt-15 & 34 on your site.....Thank you for taking the time to put together such a clear picture for us;. ...........I do have one question;..>> Is there any way a novice can relieve the spring pressure that the DT-15 has.....as I wrote in your guest book, I can only get ...

Wonderfully put together display!...

Greg, the 'pakistani blanks' are 308, made for the military of Pakistan by the Greeks....They Have a headstamp of 'POF' , which is Greek & made in the 90s. .....They are pretty strong, but work best in the 42.....They will cycle in a fa 34, but the powder residue builds up very fast, and begins to g...

Thanks Greg.....from what the dealers were saying at the MG Shoot at KCR this past weekend, the limited number of ATF 'processors' are handling record numbers of SBRs and suppressor requests, and lastly MG transfers. Delays were increasing up to four months. ........John Baum can give some detail, a...

Greg;..> How long for the transfer to be approved?....Was it within your own state, our out of state? (2-transfers) ......(was this 'Doc's' gun?)
