Hey Embalmer,

Great vid!!

Good to see a WLA 53 firing away...and also a good demo of the stand!

Question...how did you fit your 53 without removing the butt?

I always heard the 53 receiver is too big to fit in the mount without removing the stock.

I took the red blank firing plate out, and left 2-3 inches of clearance. It still hits but very lightly(wasnt discovered till after this vid). Since the vid i resort to firing with butt on but rotated 90degrees.

Good to know.

I'd love to get a mount...does look like it is fun to shoot...plus I heard you can get it to 'bump' if need be...

I love how it looks on the mount. I havent mastered the bump fire on the tripod but did get a nice 5 round burst off accidently at the end of that clip.

I love my WLA M53 as well and after a bit of tinkering with the firing pins it runs without flaw.

SVT40: I am currently having some problems with firing pins. What tinkering did you have to do in order to get your WLA 53 to work without flaw?
