To New Members

[JBaum]

We have a lot of traffic on here, but very few people need to leave messages anymore. We've pretty well mastered making the MG42 parts kit into a functional semi-auto rifle, so there really isn't much to say that's new, as we've covered it all very well.

Reading the existing messages will give you what you need to know, but if you are confused about any aspect of the project, leave a message.

Should you have a question/problem or are just curious, don't hesitate to ask. New messages are not plentiful by any means, as we are the type who entertain ourselves, we don't engage in mindless chatter.

When you need help, all the regulars who still visit here jump in to explain and diagnose. Chatter just isn't really our reason for being here.

Speaking of photos, since Photobucket is holding everyones pictures hostage, how can we get around it in order to make any use of the otherwise excellent build tutorials here on the forums?

[JBaum]

Any pictures that are missing on this site that you have, send them to me in an email (to John at Germanmanuals.com), and include a link to the message that it goes to. I'll put it in with the message it's supposed to go with.

Otherwise, upload the picture in the message, and don't host it on some other storage site that will eventually do what photobucket did.

Well for about the last 5 years I've been working on reposting pics. With the latest photobucket crap we have lost more.
Time after Time I've asked folks to just post the pics to this site. I've emailed requested and about everything else. Look here is a great example on how to post pics on this site it's not hard.
