Re: Century M53’s are beginning to ship now
I’ll take some pics of grip mounting and mainspring and get them posted as soon as I can. On the wood butt stock, I ordered another M53 stock from Angola Armory and I plan on stripping it and staining it to get it to my liking. I like the "wood look" too myself. But I figure this way I can leave t...

Re: Century M53’s are beginning to ship now
I got a chance to test out my WLA M53 and see how it runs yesterday. First off I spent some time over the past several days reading lots of posts on MG42.com and got myself acquainted with the operation of this gun. That and I followed the detailed manuals that came with this gun to the letter…and...

Re: Century M53’s are beginning to ship now
As promised here are some of the first few pics I took of it. The gun came in a sturdy plywood crate that was well packed with foam custom fitted inside for this gun. Came with 6- 50 round belts, 1 ammo can and 1 green rain poncho. It also came with 2 very user friendly manuals, complete with lots o...

Re: Century M53’s are beginning to ship now
Yes I’ll get some pics up when I get it. Hopefully you all can bear with me and some of the newb questions I’m sure I will have. I’ve been doing a lot of reading here too, but nothing is going to replace hands on. I’m no newb to firearms in general as I’ve built AK’s and fixed lot proble...

I ordered mine about a year or so ago. Got my fingers crossed it will be decent. Has anyone else here got hold of one of these yet? Thi...
